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.

5Jack Ginnivan (Hawthorn)

While Larkey's selection was based off statistics, this one is more of a vibes-based choice.

Ginnivan, nearly more than any other player in the league, looks like he would relish an opportunity to be "that guy".

The crafty and hard-working half forward's footy smarts have become well documented in recent weeks with teammates, coaches and pundits praising the 23-year-old's football nous.

But to be a clutch player, you have to own the moment, and if the ball was to fall in Ginnivan's hands late in the game, you just know it's going through for a goal.
