It was a nice 80 metre bomb. Not uncommon.

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..

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?Swans4ever wrote: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!!AFLcrap1 wrote:Just had a look at the Booby Fuckloon goal.

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!King-Eliagh wrote: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?Swans4ever wrote: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!!AFLcrap1 wrote:Just had a look at the Booby Fuckloon goal.
