Notice the Bombers are having a Superboot (longest kick) competition at their family day or something like that at Windy Hill.

Who would be Richmond's longest kick?

I personally couldnt give a flying stuff who our superboot is?

whats the point in kicking long(Newman) if it goes straight to the opposition player.

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

I think Schulz won this comp last time we had it
Pretty sure our current biggest kick would be Newman

who on the list can kick a decent torp?

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Look out for Griffiths. He will probably be our next genuine superboot. But for the moment, Lids or newy. Lids for accuracy, Newy for distance.

Daniel Jackson possibly.

Remember a goal he kicked in the last quarter of our round 1 game in 2008 against the filth. Standing start drop punt from well inside the centre square city end of The Colosseum that went through post high and was still travelling.

It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Newman.


My fav superboot was Jumpin' Jimmy Jess.

Saw him kick a goal inside the centre square at the G 1982.

A superboot from the past, have a look at the kick from Merv Keane in my youtube "Fighting tiger sprit" clip at 3min 56 Seconds
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-5fWk27ye4

There are no line markings to be seen but he appears to be well outside 50 and the ball clears the goals above the top of the posts. Maybe some of our more "seasoned" members who remember the old southern stand may have an idea of how big this kick really was but from my point of view it looks like a pretty big kick.

Also saw the same in 79 but he had no boot on his foot,in fact,i'd swear it was from the centre circle
