Just watched a 1986 penalty goal from Balmain that scored from 55 metres..
I have a question. From kick off is the ball went over the posts is it a goal?

No but I'd like to know why teams never try and hit the posts from kick-offs. I get that it's a bit harder to defend if they get the ball in the middle but it has to be worth a crack occasionally.

I think its a defence thing. Kick to one corner and your left or right side knows they are taking the first tackle and need to be ready. Also to avoid a certain playing taking it up off the back fence.

Though teams now play quite expansively. Your whole defensive line has got to be alert.

Lolz , no

I have an older mate who swears that there was a time that was the case. Apparently, it was far harder to do with the old balls though!?! I think he has a faulty memory.

This is why I prefer the footy from the 90s

In the early 70's I watched Eric Sims kick 2 from half way after the Panthers kicked out on the full twice in succession. That was the old leather ball.

But I suppose the air was thinner all the way out at the foot of the mountains...well according to the toffee nose wankers from the eastern suburbs...

Everything is harder with old balls, I’m 78 and believe you me they are hard to shift when you sit down.
