I literally said that in the post.
Not like you to respond to things without reading them (or is it?)

I did read it and wasn't having a go at your post just stating without those stats the comparison is pointless.  Your last sentence says 'the point remains' - my post was inferring the stats provided mean nothing so cant be used to demonstrate Kemps kicking.
   
You do realise this is a forum with differing opinions ::)

It was more about the relative perceptions of people and their kicking rather than 'proving' anything one way or another.

Fevola is a kicking god.
Harry is a kicking hack.
Yet %'s show the opposite.
Harry would need to completely miss 1 in 20 shots more than fev to be on a par % wise.

Now, i know who i'd rather have kicking for goal.....and its not based on %'s......but perhaps peoples bias cloud their output.

I see the Yanks and FIFA have angered the establishment with yet another one of the half time extraveganza BS at the WC Final.
The laws of the game states that half time breaks must not exceed 15min  but will be extended to 30mins to accommodate the rubbish entertainment.

AFL app has the data.

Scoring accuracy 2026

Kemp: 46.2%
McKay: 43.1%
McGovern 56.5%
Cripps 32.3%
Nick Daicos 42.6%




Mids like Cripps and Daicos i can cut some slack to as their main role is not to kick goals. There damage is down up the field and to help feed the forwards

There is no such excuse for full time forwards to not have much higher levels of accuracy and should be their number one skill. Its so deflating to miss getable goals. Costs more games imo then any other single factor.

What is King for GC - hardly see him miss.

these stats not counting shots that go on the full or some food drop short mean they are not a true measure of goal kicking accuracy.

if you can find one that does registar all the other ‘misses’ you will find they are worlds apart
