It is a harder goal to score than any AFL goal. No points for hitting the side post and it has to be over a crossbar too. Not only that, it's not like getting a mark like in AFL where play stops when you take a shot at a goal with no crossbars. You have to rush it because guys are ready to tackle you and block you from taking the long distance shot at goal.
Nathan Clearly would likely be a better kicker than AFL's best..

was a fair ol nudge yesterday for a guy ( Clearly ) who'd hadn't played for 12 weeks. A 45 metre drop goal to win the game in a blustery breeze is no mean feat


fumblers can barely stay on their feet , occassionally nail a kick ( fluke it ) but then miss from 20 m out in front from a set shot
