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.
6Nick Larkey (North Melbourne)
Accuracy is king in the world of clutch goal-kicking and the new Roos skipper has one of the best shoes in the business.
Larkey is statistically one of the greatest shots for goal in the league, not just for this season or last, but for all time.
Of all players to have featured at AFL level and who have had a minimum of 50 scoring shots, Larkey (74.45 per cent) sits third all time for the best accuracy. Behind only Michael Murphy (formerly of North Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane Bears) on 76.83 per cent and former Western Bulldogs forward Tory Dickson 74.79 per cent.
The Roos captain has kicked 292.100 over his 138 games and is one of the most trusted players in front of the big sticks the league has ever seen.
