The other WOOF wasn't too bad either.

 

[Dustyjackman]

Used to love Rod Ashmans' kicking style. Absolute copybook.

Can't be bothered digging up an image but.

 

[Azul]

Are we talking just the left foot? In that case add Kade Simpson, Brad Pearce...

How about players who could kick with their non-preferred foot too?

 

[Buzz/Sticks/bryce]

Diesel(other than a blustery MCG day) and Bradley(especially the checkside from 50m)

 

[KruZin]

Warran Ralph! (apart from that wet day out at Waverley against the Pies in 84 when he missed from 20 metres after the siren that would have tied the game)

The amount of times he kicked truly from 55 metres hard up against the boundary line, was phenomenal.

 

[gbatman]

Campo, Bradley

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

Houlihan's actually a great kick but not much else.

Brad Pearce was a beautiful kick.

Kernahan was the finest exponent of the helicopter kick in the history of our great game.

WOOF

Let me tell you a few who were fantastic kicks of the footy. Ian Robinson and Brian Quirk were great long and low kicks to position.
Also one great left footer was Paul Hirst. He was a brillant kick from the HBF. Syd Jackson was another fantasic kick. Wayne Johnson was very good.

 

[HARKER]

No mention of Setanta yet?

 

[Bomba Sheldon]

Diesel(other than a blustery MCG day) and Bradley(especially the checkside from 50m)

Agree - plus Princess Ryan (as long as their is to be no physical contact at the point of kicking).

 

[Sin City]

Campo was the first one I thought of as well.

 

[Bell Ringer]

Fatty Stevens would hit you on the tit 99 times out of 100 on the right.

Drops down to 90% on the left.

 

[esoteric]

Geoff Southby then daylight

 

[KennyHuntersBlues]

ross ditchburn was pretty good.

 

[mediumsizered]

Geoff Southby then daylight

Agree with this. After daylight it would be Swan McKay. Rod Ashman would be the player who had least difference between his preferred & non-preferred side.

 

[ParaBellum]

A few for the highlight reel today.

 

[Dramoth]

Agree with this. After daylight it would be Swan McKay. Rod Ashman would be the player who had least difference between his preferred & non-preferred side.

Southby was just perfect when it came to kicking...

Curly Austin was also a pretty good kick as well.

 

[True Bluebagger]

From the vault, Geoff Southby and Ian Robertson were two of the best I have seen for the Navy Blues. Braddles and Diesel had the score on the board for the younger generation

A real left fielder that most wouldn't remember was a Ronnie Auchettl who played a handful of 1st games in the late 60's. He was an enormous kick.


The worst kick easily would to have to been John "Raggsy" Gould. He was shocking kick for such a great player.

 

[Zolli8]

Earl Spalding.... no one was a better unpredicatable kick!

 

[DamianBis]

may seem a bit different, and maybe it's only me who's noticed it... but Jamison has a really good kick. stays lowand hits his target most of the time.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Ralph for the set shot apart from that shot

Sticks/Nicholls for the floatys.

Best on the run in play kick was Jimmy Buckley,
Bomba was pretty straight as well.

Best launch was Southby,
though Swan McKay used to give the torps a burl, before his ankles went bust.

 

[True Bluebagger]

Southby was just perfect when it came to kicking...

Curly Austin was also a pretty good kick as well.

Curly Austin ???.......surely you are taking the piss

....he was a terrible kick !!!

 

[impatient]

Earl was better on his left foot
