What is Set shot in Australian Rules Football?

An unhurried kick at goal taken after a mark or free kick within range: the player walks back, an opponent stands on the mark, and the kicker follows a routine. Set-shot accuracy is one of the game's most scrutinised skills.

Example: His set-shot routine never changes: five steps back, two to the side.
