punting is as much about height as it is about distanceWouldn't think Angus is a long kick... but then again competing against Americans they measure in feet we actually measure in metres so therefore he might be a chance.?
Twas a very good clubman though especially at Box Hill. Congrats on his two premierships. As I said good clubman happy to see those guys get success elsewhere.

Possibly the twilight game against GWS where Bolton was coaching and we scraped home?I honestly thought he would turn out to be a solid player for us for years to come. I remember one stand out game he had at the MCG (can't remember when exactly, yeah I know helpful lol, just that it was a night game) and I thought we we're finally seeing the start of him turning into an AFL player. But he never went on with it which was disappointing.
Good luck with his new adventure.

Really pleased for him. Always thought when his playing was cut short like it was that he'd still have a certain fire in the belly for more footy. He's got unfinished business with the game.Whitey promoted to a line coach at North.

This. Gridiron has become fascinated with the Aussie ability to control location and kick in imperfect conditions (see adverse wind). Just grinds me that US media and fans keep calling it "rugby style" kicking. All of the punters I'm aware of are Aussie Rules players. Too bad he'll be with the University of Spoiled Children, though...Not always. Hang-time was a big factor 10-20 years ago, but these days NFL clubs are looking for punters who have a strong leg and can pin their opponent inside their own 20 yard line. A lot of NFL clubs now use punters who are strong exponents of the Australian rules drop punt because it gives the punter better control over the direction of their punt.
To be honest, unless Litherland has already improved and will continue to improve his kicking, he's no chance of forging a career as a punter, even at USC.
The "rugby style" thing does my head in too!This. Gridiron has become fascinated with the Aussie ability to control location and kick in imperfect conditions (see adverse wind).

Jeez, an uninjured and fit Whitey ... really one of the big ifs over the last 10 years for me.
IIRC they showed Whitey on the big screen when doing the '13 GF medal presentations and applause broke out in the crowd. He did end up with a VFL flag but not quite the same thing.Very unlucky not to be a premiership player, he would have been right up there with Spangher, Shoey, Langers as a cult hero on GF day!
