Daniel Motlop's Magic Show!

Postby blink » Fri May 22, 2009 3:27 pm

Some people may have seen this on Fox Sports recently. I actually saw it on http://www.news.com.au, but thought I'd link it to a YouTube video instead. Some of the things he does here are truly amazing and according to the article, the Fox Sports journalist said all of these were filmed first take, except for the snap at goal, which was done on the 2nd attempt!

Have a look:

Fantastic stuff.
He is crazy skilled.
I know there's some pretty special stuff in there - the shot from the terraces and the Ronaldo flick.
However, my favourite is at the 20 second mark where he replicates that goal from last year.
Not so much the act of the goal but the way the vision reflects the unpredictable nature of our ball and the way it rolls end over end etc.
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.

Really is a special player. His 50m Checkside on the run at the 'Gabba a few years back was amazing.

Can he do any of that stuff using his left foot ?

maybe he should go 5 rows back on the terrace instead of 20m dead in front when he needs to kick the winning goal time-on in the last?

;)
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

I think most of his critics would conceed that he has come a long way since that miss at Aurora a couple of years back...

of course he has, but he seems more comfortable with the impossible shots ...

Is the reason he kicks these goals is because he is selfish enough to have the shot??

A lot of other players probably have the same ability but 90% of the time will do the team thing rather than the flashy low percentage option.

He has a terrible attitude to his footy when things aren't going his way.

Not the ideal time to follow up that footage with a shocker the week after...
