Where does Sicily rate with the longest kicks in the AFL?

[KermitJagger]

After watching a few of Sicily's drop punts out of defense and that almighty 2 step torpedo leading to an O'Meara goal, it has me wondering where he ranks with the big kickers of the AFL. Us Hawks are lucky that we've had many a booming kick cycle through our side through recent years, and I honestly have to say I'd rate Sicily one of the best.

He definitely has a longer kick than Suckling and gets it to boot a LOT quicker. In terms of kicking penetration and depth he's up there with Dustin Martin and Buddy for mine.

Is there anyone I'm forgetting?

Love the depth and weight on his kicks, very nice coming out of defence.

 

[MrPremiership]

Buddy's hurdle goal against the Pies in the wet. Kicked it from near the centre circle and almost on the full.

 

[Beandip]

Buddy's field kicking is next level, seriously, seriously under-rated - both INCREDIBLY accurate and well weighted, and routinely 60+ metres.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

He's very good for his size, but then so is Hurn, McKenzie, Sucker, etc.

Expect the bigger boys might have him covered e.g. Buddy, Daniher...

Lets not forget Fitzmagics goal against the pies
Muston did a nice one out of the square too
Burtons JLT goal

 

[MrFujiMoto]

Can roost them, ol Sis. Not near the biggest though I don't think.

That huge Sicily drop punt off a step against the doggies last year was enormous.

People forget Hodge’s effort in 2015 grand final? Allow me to remind ya’s!

 

[Gralin]

that grand final against the dogs in Tassie is always forgotten in the record books and by interstaters complaining about the MCG advantage

Jetta ( west coast ) has a very decent shoe on him when he winds up , and actually gets the ball

Trent Croad had a huge kick

Cos he's James ******* Sicily.

this reminds me of Blankety blanks

James *pause* blank Sicily

and now it's over to the panel to decide what blank stands for

Thanks for kicking that ball into me guts. Had some indigestion. Unblocked something I reckon.

Okey dokey time to load up.

Arghhh. That’s better

 

[Rioli2Gunstall]

Sis's bomb from from back was the 2nd longest of the week according to 360 at 64m, the longest was 65.

 

[Glorin]

Any discussion about long kicks always reminds me of Nathan Chapman and a kickout one day at Box Hill in 2000 . It landed about 15 metres past the middle circle and those who know City Oval, thats a big kick.

 

[JoeHawk]

Buddy's field kicking is next level, seriously, seriously under-rated - both INCREDIBLY accurate and well weighted, and routinely 60+ metres.

Seriously, is anything Buddy does deemed underrated? Least of all his kicking? Especially his kicks from out wide from 50 that sail though nearly post high. Bread and butter stuff for him.

 

[The German Hunter]

Siss’s Kicking action reminds me a lot of Michael Voss, and that man could kick a football!

 

[LuckyHawk]

Sic and Dusty are probably the two best kicks in the league. They can both kick over defences, hit up team mates
with 40m laser passes and accurate shots for goal.

 

[caliente]

would love some stats on that monster goal he kicked this weekend on Joey "baby giraffe" Daniher

He kicked it from the edge of the centre square, straight through into the middle of the cheer squad.

Was a roost and a half.

Edit: on the MCG no less, wasn't an SCG outside 40... I mean 50 kick.
