who can kick around 65 meters in the AFL.

[Cerpin Taxt]

This would be one of grahams. You've gotta laught at Tony Shaw's claim of 105m.

Haha that's absolute madness!


On an earlier post, there's no way Wirrpunda can kick 65m. Hurn and Lynch are easily the biggest kicks at the club. Hurn doesn't demonstrate it a whole lot on the field, but watching the Eagles warm-up prior to a match he shows it quite often. Towards the end of the warm-up, he bombs a couple of balls long towards the interchange bench just before the team gets into a huddle. Those kicks would often be 65m+.

 

[W.C. Fry]

Let's limit it to players who can get a kick.

You gotta remember how old he is too... hes only 20. Just because he looks 30 people forget he is only in his 3rd year and has only played 36 games.

 

[Winston Abraham]

I'd think Nathan and Ryan Lonie could both do it.

 

[Ekulman]

Chris Bryan and Nathan Brown from the pies could also make the distance I'd imagine.

 

[lynchy23]

for mind dew, qstick, and goddard maybe hodge, franklin, hunt, hurn, drummond, rocca, fletcher... struggling now

 

[Mike_blues]

I'd think Nathan and Ryan Lonie could both do it.

if either ever get a game

 

[Old Den]

Josh Drummond kicks long and straight - especially when kicking for goal

 

[wallyt99]

For the Hawks, I have seen on the run kicks that long by Hodge and Dew.

Don't know how to embed - 65 Metre goal by Hodge is the last bit in this vid -

From a mark I have seen Trent Croad do it, but that was years ago.





I would say Fletcher would have to be the most consistant massive kicker in the game.

 

[rose jam]

T Cloke, Rocca, Hurn, Fletcher, Q Lynch, come to mind non-torp style

 

[Auric Goldfinger]

matt Rosa

kicks the ball 65m straight up in the air everytime

 

[Philhawk]

Dew, Buddy and Clinton Young from the Hawks.

 

[silky-smooth]

Brendan Goddard absolutely. Kicked an unbelievably and insanely underrated torpedo goal from 60m out at subi some time back that sailed through post height and landed about 25m beyond the posts. You will not see a ball move more quicker in the air again, the most crispest torpedo ever.

A heap of players would definitely be capable of kicking 60-65m with a low, flat drop punt in general play and you see it often. It's when they try and torp it that it gets more elevation than length.

So casual.

Imagine if he kicked a torp.

Are you thinking of the same one I am ... PF 2001 last quarter? Kicked it from inside the centre square and hit the goal post half way up. Croad is another who's often overlooked in these type of threads, when he should be right up there. Particularly, as you say, from set shots.

 

[KGCC07]

Goddard/Gram

 

[Dandy_GO]

Rhett Biglands would occasionally panic and unleash massive torps that'd go to nobody in particular back before he did his knee. He WAS capable of kicking it 65+. After two knee recos in a row though, we've probably seen the last of that (and him).

 

[silky-smooth]

Can't remember against which team but Matthew Robran launched a massive torpedo for goal from the centre square in 2001 at Footy Park? He certainly could kick a monster ball, but I guess that comes with being 9 foot 100.

 

[ClarkeM]

C. Young.

 

[BLPC08]

No player can match Lynchy when he times them sweetly. The drop punt against North looks effortless!

 

[PendlePie]

Cloke and Rocca from the Pies. Buckley could give it a fair roost back in the day, but probably not 65m.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Chris Newman has got onto a few barrels in the last couple of weeks. One the other week went past the centre line from the goal square.

[Barabbas]

Cloke and Rocca from the Pies. Buckley could give it a fair roost back in the day, but probably not 65m.

I remember seeing Bucks kick a goal from 70 playing for the bears, but it's a blurry memory. Surprised Cloke can kick that far.

 

[wce4premiership]

Lynch, Hurn, Wirra (torp only), dew, rocca, buddy, goddard, fletcher, hunt (i think it was him)

Lynchy is a massive kick but it's a bit hit and miss.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Not at all accurate but Tom Hawkins could probably go 65. Have seen him pretty much guide them in from just outside 50. On the run Ablett Jnr is also an extremely long and penetrating kick.

Tony Shaw????
