Current left footers

[Funkz]

Evening all,

looked around without much luck

Would anyone know where I can look for a list of current left foot players or reel a few off to assist

cheers

Back in the day, Australia used to beat you in schools for using your left.

We should have maintained this rule. Up there with Red Heads IMO. Just plain wrong.

Zero Hanger's All-Australian team of left footers

We thought it was time to give the lefties some love, so here's our All-Australian side made up entirely of left footers!

Try this mate.

Just think of players who are accurate and long kicks. They'll most likely be left footers

Interesting point you make. Would love to see stats on left/right footers and accuracy on goal.

Ha ha. Funnily enough my Grandfather stepped in and told my uncles teacher he could expect similar treatment if he continued doing it to his ambidextrous son. The ability to bowl spin off either side of his body was a welcome side effect of this intervention.

left footers are better. Mates brother already did a study on it at uni a few years ago

Anything but the left. I done superstitious of the way they kick the ball

Q1. Can you kick a 60m bullet on your preferred foot?
Q2. Can you kick better than a 25m mung floater on your non-preferred foot?

If you answered yes then no, congratulations you are a left footer.

They do have that reputation but our best two kicks (Jetta and Hurn) are right foot dominant

But yes, there are several lethal left footers such as Buddy, Suckling, Daniel Rich, Isaac Smith

I wonder why that is. I'm more precise on my right foot even tho I'm a left footer.

I think left footers realise they don't need a right foot because their left is so good. Right footers wish they could kick with their left because left footers are so much better

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Sam Mitchell and Simon Black. Two of the best kicks on their non preferred. Both left footers. And before you say Mitchell was a right footer, don't, because he's a left footer who was forced to kick on his right.

 

[_Mike_]

Matt Suckling - current
Jason Akermanis - former

 

[M Malice]

Agree with Mike, Jason Akermanis a right footer with a great left leg particularly over distance. Short distance accuracy say up to 35-40 meters off both feet you can't beat Sam Mitchell another right footer.

Heath Scotland was also very good on his left peg

 

[Coops93]

Taylor Walker is a right footer who is unbelievable on his left.

Also Eddie Betts doesn't mind a nifty GOTY or 2 on the left.

 

[Topkent]

Jack Riewoldt is pretty good on both sides.

 

[Hounddd]

Jack Riewoldt's field kicking off both feet is fantastic. He's a natural right footer.

I hate Jack Riewoldt but he's a lovely field kick. Could easily play as a roaming winger.

Andy Gaff's a left footer

Two blokes who weren't quick or particularly long kicks. Both honed their craft within their limits. Meanwhile some players can kick 60 off a step but can't execute a handball on their opposite hand.

Saying Sam Mitchell is a right footer is like saying Jason Akermanis is a left footer

Stephen Hill - beautiful left foot - let's hope we get to see it this season.

Now imagine if you had SHill's left foot and BHill's run - what a player that would be.
