Left Sided Players.

Which foot do Yarran, Lucas, Gibbs, Houlihan, Walker and Murphy prefer?

Which foot do Gibbs, Murphy prefer?

Spot on with the rest, but these two I wouldn't agree with. Gibbs especially, I think I've seen him use his left foot maybe twice?

I know I keep on pumping up his tyres, but keep an eye out for Dylan Shiel for GWS next year, possibly the most gifted dual sided players I've seen in junior ranks to the point you can't tell his dominant side......closely followed by Cotch and Yazza

Well, Murphy has slotted some absolute pearlers with the left!

Safe to say he didn't look too comfortable on the left still! Very mechanical.

Murphy, while a little awkward is a good kick for goal on his no preferred. ..

Still slots them though. .. Yazz is definitely one of the most natural looking non-preferred kicks I've ever seen. ..

Left footers in footy are just like the left hander batters in cricket - they are the most elegant to watch, a classy leftie always looks better than a classy rightie

No question.

Unfortunately with me being a left-footer, I didnt fit the classy category

Though Murphy has a better left foot than Grigg after he weighted this perfect pass to Betts in round one.
