Best kick of a footy?
« on: November 18, 2006, 07:59:31 PM »
Who is or was the best kick of a footy? Who could roost the Sherrin or Faulkner with the most aplomb bar none?

Geoff Raines was a bloody good kick

For distance with pretty good accuracy couldn't go past Scott Turner

I reckon Chris Judd is bloody good kick too

Mark Bayes from the Swans was very good too.

Agree with wayne - Leon Cameron was a gem

From a non AFL viewpoint I reckon young Sam Robertson from Coburg who's been training with the Tigers is one of the best left foot kicks going around.

Michael "Disco" Roach

Classic drop punt kicking style, pity about the hamstring problems later in his career. 

What was K.Bartlett thinking playing a duel Coleman Medalist in the ruck when he was undersized, humstrung and lost his leap ?

Don't think KB played him in the ruck Darth - I know that Francis Bourke did in 1982

KB was an ordinary coach even if he didn't have much to work with. He himself though wasn't a bad kick. Knew where the goals were that's for sure.
