Best left footers

[Spearman]

Hawkins is underrated as both sider. Exquisite one glance, centering with the left perfectly aimed and weighted weren't uncommon.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

What?? Where's Paul COUCH??
Clearly it's Couchy... then daylight.

 

[goyoucatters]

Best right footers who could kick comfortably on their left:
Buddha
Ablett snr
Humphries

Nathan was an incredible kick on his left as well.

I'm also sad that the Swans stepped in to ensure that Gulden didn't end up in this conversation.

I still think (Buddha) was the best kick on his opposite foot I've ever seen.

Yeah, him and Gary Ablett Jr. GAJ was just ridiculous with both feet.

 

[Vdubs]

I still think he was the best kick on his opposite foot I've ever seen.

From any club too. Ablett senior for distance on his left foot, but for precision Hocking.

I'll nominate Aker as best ever in that realm. Loved Buddha. Aker was something else on the run ; 50-60metre passes or goals.

 

[you pick one]

SJ left or right didn't make any difference.

Saw Hunt and Chappy warming up together at a training session.
They were 30 metres apart and were kicking low , chest level bullets to each other.
They never had to move when marking the ball and when they kicked they had the kicking leg off the ground and just punched the kick.
Incredible leg strength.

Did it look like Chappy kicking to himself?

Gary Ablett Jr is my pick - underrated as a two-footed player simply because of how good he was at literally everything else.

 

[iameviljez]

SJ left or right didn't make any difference.

Yes, but with the exception that if SJ had 10 kicks, 7 would be very good, 2 would be outstanding, and 1 would be a total cluster****.

That's more likely because he thought nothing was to outlandish for Steve to try.I really miss his magic he was a special player.

When I saw the thread title I thought Riccardi

 

[Partridge]

I'll nominate Aker as best ever in that realm. Loved Buddha. Aker was something else on the run ; 50-60metre passes or goals.

You mean like what Ablett senior was doing 15-20 years earlier? Except more consistently and from further out.

 

[Partridge]

SJ left or right didn't make any difference.

But he wasn't a long kick. Anything beyond 50 was a struggle. Wasn't close to Ablett in that regard.

Literally been mentioned six times itt

Anyone else write left handed, yet do everything right?

I kick a football with my right foot, I am pretty awful on my left.

I'm right handed, and even though it's been a while since I've picked up a baseball bat - swinging it left handed always felt more comfortable to me

So the same but different


Only things I do left is write and throw overarm (I bowl right)

 

[you pick one]

Right handed at everything however when it comes to golf I don't own a set of clubs so just take what's available right or left makes little difference I'm hopeless with either.

This is like one of those brain-teasers. The answer I'm guessing is that you don't play golf or cricket.

 

[Hinkley29]

Everything that requires one hand (throwing, writing) I am right handed.

Everything that requires two hands (baseball, golf, cricket, etc) I am left handed.

Kicking a footy is a mixed bag - more distance on my right foot, better accuracy and touch on the left.

It is very confusing

Tennis? Don't tell me you play right-handed but with a leftie two handed backhand!

Some things can be funny I was a faster swimmer backstroker than freestyle

Almost.

Right hand forehand, two handed backhand ( but will stretch to one handed backhand if I need the extra range)
