Dying stages, the loud house packed, who do you want kicking for goal to win the game?
Had former Port Adelaide star Robbie Gray still been playing then the trustworthy forward-midfielder would have been in a battle for the number one spot with recently retired West Coast midfielder Dom Sheed's flag-winning left foot.
But since both are now out of the game, Zero Hanger decided to canvass the AFL landscape in search of the league's most clutch footballer. Both Essendon and Carlton players were banned from the list given the head noise that seems to be reverberating around the inner sanctums of both clubs.
Below is the definitive list ranked 10-1 of who we would trust the most to seal the deal with a goal - whether on the run or set shot - late in the game.
9Elliot Yeo (West Coast)
The Eagles veteran being on this list may come as a surprise to some, but his competitive nature and wisdom in old age (football-wise) makes him a clutch footballer - when his body allows him to play.
His set shot goal at three-quarter time on the boundary line against North Melbourne in Round 2 was indicative of the ice surging through his veins in moments that would make other players weak at the knees with nerves.
The 32-year-old, hopefully, still has some years left in him, with his brittle body permitting. Should the Eagles get on a miracle run and make it to a wild card spot, there is no one else in the team you would rather have the ball in their hands than the stoic Yeo.
