Essendon legend Matthew Lloyd has named the seven players he believes are the best set shots in the competition right now.

With goal kicking accuracy down in 2021, hovering around 46%, we have seen plenty of bad kicking and missed shots. But Lloyd, who kicked 926 goals himself, has said that these players stand out from the rest while speaking onย Sportsday.

4. Lance Franklin (Sydney)

One of the most recognisable forwards in the game today, Franklin has had an impressive start to 2021 after an injury disrupted 2020 season.

"His improvement is unbelievable. Heโ€™s actually ranked second in the comp for (goalkicking) accuracy." Lloyd said.

34-year-old Franklin, who has kicked 24.7 from eight games this year, including a five goal haul against GWS, is just 32 goals away from reaching the incredible milestone of 1000.
