Cluxton is William Tell like alright. Don't think there is a more accurate placed ball kicker around and who can hit those distances. I can't think of a kicker who is accurate off the ground with both feet. Plenty from the hands as easier to execute with weaker foot but a player who can strike equally well off the ground with both feet would be a find.

Cillian 'Tapover' O'Connor as some clueless called him, kept mayo in division one this year when we were a point down and kick two sidelines, one from either side of pitch against cork in last couple of minutes.

Serious marksman. Newman from meath is deadly accurate as is heslin from westmeath. Sheehan has great range but has been known to miss afew. Meehan is quality on his day as is goulding. wouldnt rate murphy as highly as some other free takers but he is still savage accurate as is mcfadden.

our emlyn mulligan has to be up there...haven't seen many better from a placed ball

Shane Walsh used to hit them from the ground with both feet back when he was playing with Jarlaiths.

Ya, it is harder to kick a placed ball than a moving one...

Off the ground is easier.
