At the other end of the scale, i out-kicked on our opposites (for distance and accuracy) Danyle Pearce. it was the offseason after he won the Rising Star, i'd had a few beers and challenged him to a kickoff. i easily beat him, to which he got a bit narky and asked if i wanted to challenge him in a sprint.

but he has improved a helluva lot on his right since then, and i dont rekon i'd challenge him again!

Might have beaten him in the sprint too if you chose to run toward the oppositions goal

At the crows porplyzia and callinan are the most skillful players on both sides. Ian callinan currently has kicked more goals at Afl level in his left side than his right side

Leon Cameron was a freak both sides
But no one in the AFL has ever been as good as Darren jarman. And if you speak to dunstall, dermy and modra they all agree.

it is very common that blokes that lack leg speed often have good skills both sides of there bodies as they need it alot to get out of jail, off the top of my head Mitchell, Goddard, Ling and to a lesser extent Bartell, porplyzia and J watson are all very capeable on both sides of there body

Good at many things, kicking off his right, not one of them.

Aha, couldn't remember which Bombers player I was thinking of who's good on both sides of their body, answer- Hurley. His kicking style when using his right or left foot is pretty much identical.

I disagree, certainly not incapable of using his right foot from what I've seen.

His passing isnt great on his left but he is one of the few currently playing who can kick goals from outside 50 with either.

You sure it wasn't Scott Lucas from the Bombers DK? Word is he had an awesome right foot; just nobody ever got to see it! ;)

One player who isn't particularly great on his opposite but has improved alot in using in opposite is Nick Dal Santo. Maybe 5 or 6 years ago he couldn't kick on his right foot to save himself and used to get stuck a fair bit but now he can use it his right foot well enough if he's get stuck on his right side, I've seen him use it a few times and it's been pretty good.
