It was a nice 80 metre bomb. Not uncommon.

Just had a look at the Booby Fuckloon goal.

He was about 65 mtrs out & the ball landed Before the posts & rolled through.

Wow just wow,

NO crossbar to get over, just 2 giant sticks..

Locky kicked a 52 Mtr FG in SOO that cleared the posts easily & landed outside the Dead ball line..
Now that is skill ..

But seeing as the fumblers are pullin their pud over how far Bundy can kick.
Here is a clip of a Qcup (The level below NRL & also an International comp) player drop kicking from his own tryline that goes 110 mtrs.
In fumbleterms he would be the best player ever..

It landed on the 40 and rolled over the dead ball line - impressive but the dead ball line is 68 meters wide - AFL goal mouth is only 6.8 meters wide - if you can't work out what was incredible about that goal then you'll never get it - again I'm yet to see someone in RL kick a field goal from their own 30 - that's the point!!
Are you suggesting a field goal is as easy to kick between two posts and above a cross bar from 70metres out is as hard as buddy kicking a drop punt between two posts that are likely wider apart and def with no cross bar from 65 out?

:(/ the delusion folks, it's very very deep set in this one :lol:

Where I say that - I would imagine it would be very difficult - but my point remains have yet to see a drop goal from the 30 yard line - something that would be a rarity - yet Franklins goal was a 68 1/2 meter goal on the run - a very difficult goal - I said if you can post one go for it until then Franklins goal is a superb example of the high degree of skill in AF! PS most drop goals are from about 10-15 meters out directly in front not exactly difficult!
