Can Senior AFL players extend their kicking length?

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Yep nothing like a long racking kick off the half back. And a long kick out too up towards the wing.
I loved it Ryan Lonies etc.... back then we could kick goals easy from 50 m out lonie did it the best and Bucks too.

Too much short chipping around these days.

i want penertration.

I cant thing of the last time a collingwood goal was kicked from around the 50 m mark.

Micocek and Stevo are our long kickers then what.

Fatigue makes a big difference. Jack Riewoldt failing to make the distance from 35m against us comes to mind. Goal kicking accuracy, and in some cases distance, have not improved and I think it is largely fatigue-driven.

Interestingly, Gary Ablett has kicked some goals from outside 50m in recent weeks and despite being so old.
