SEN | Who are the best ball users in the competition? The players who frequently hit targets, are tidy by both hand and foot, and those who make the least skill errors.
In this day and age, it’s quite normal to see defenders high on these types of lists, such is the way the ball is moved deliberately and precisely out of the back line. Keeping the ball is a constant theme in modern footy, so shorter and more careful kicking in a bid to retain possession has become more of a focus.
Taking a look at the best kicks percentage-wise, it’s quite obvious that defenders with more time on their hands to hit targets reign supreme, whereas midfielders and forwards with less leeway for mistakes are well down the rankings.
