You can't do anymore than be the best of your particular era. Mick Cronin held every goal kicking and point scoring record in the game. You can't do better than be the very best. It was Cronin's goal kicking that got us into Grand Finals. It's the ones you kicked to get us there that count the most. We wouldn't have been there in the 80's without him. Cronin kicked leather balls from sand mounds unlike Johns, El Masri and Thurston who all used synthetic balls kicked from plastic golf tees. Give leather balls to the ones who came after Cronin and see how they go. They would cry.
As we all know, Zac Lomax has departed the club effectively immediately - Just 12 months into a 4 year deal. This loss cannot be understated, especially considering many of us fans were crying out for a winger of this exact mould for years prior.…
"Drown was announced to be leaving in March. Since then we've signed Walker, TDS, JDB and Pezet, and extended a bunch of guys including JAC. Drown's money is long gone."

It's a close one.
Sorry mate, Cronin was a bum kicker in comparison to todays standards, hes the worst of the group.
That's not the point, let's piss off some dogs by beating elmasri.
fair enough
Pat Richards and Mike Eden do not make the list?
Michael O’Connor
Where is Len Killeen. Possibly the first round the corner style.
First found the corner kicker from memory was John Gray .in my humble opinion El Masri was pretty darn good . Was he the best .pretty close I recon

Different era! I'd like to see some of these modern day goal kickers use a leather ball with no kicking tee! Their results would be low.
