He’s the best finisher on the run I’ve ever seen. Brilliant player. Left or right there’s he and Buckley and then daylight

Buckley was very overrated as a finisher. Didn't do it on his left, either.
@bradmiller52705 жыл бұрын
So much nostalgia, in almost every game score shown, Lions were just absolutely dominating. What a player he was, the whole team. Looking at this real is such a reminder how the game has changed for the worse now with so many stoppages and so few accurate goal kickers.

watch how many times he kicked from different feet... left or right... 60m drop punts and snaps... brilliant.

@BluntAustralian ablett snr was the best 65 meter torps on his opposite left boot! Aka was almost as good with both feet but gazza was definitely the greatest in every aspect of the game! Just watch his highlights! A bit sad how this blokes career ended he was definitely one of the best players of last 30 years!!

@BluntAustralian no way gazza could kick 60m on left boot and played the wing most of his career! Kicked 9 of the wing at vfl park on day! Pure freak! Sit on your head aka didn't do that! Set shots aka not the best gazza lethal! Bust open packs and come out clean gazza again! Gazza was aka just 1 foot taller and 5 foot wider ten times stronger and a leap like a high jumper! Strong boy was gazza strong! Legs like tree trunks and shoulders like a brick shithouse! Gazza is the most talented player ever by a country mile and the greatest player ive seen! I have gazza 1 leigh matthews 2 ! The rest are arguable but them 2 are the greatest!

Far away from Australia...this week I have seen my US alma mater's women's volleyball team lose a college playoff game against an equally talented team. I have seen England's men's national soccer team lose another World Cup quarterfinal via the impact of a missed penalty kick. What do they lack? Ruthlessness. And nobody had that more abundantly than Jason Akermanis.
