Daniel Motlop = Genius - Fox Sports News - 21/05/2009

[lastplacewin]

I like AFL and Football but most top-flight european footballers can do this without second takes.

[123perrin]

@lastplacewin what - with an oval ball? lol. i think not.

[taw2ga]

Im a rugby league fan but this is outstanding thanks 4 posting i remember watching this a few months back on fox

[jacKkO4]

legend (:

[desalage]

sorry motlop

[stuca13]

Listen we Aussies take years of supporting and cheering to turn our guys into animals...they can't become women overnight to suit you bloody Irish

[desalage]

his skills are shit. normal soccer players can do that they dont need 100 film takes either

[carouselcarouse]

@desalage Well it doesn't look like they were filming that long mate... I mean really point blank you think his skills are shit? I don't know why you would say something so obviously not true apart from you feel you have to defend soccer for some reason... If you want to trash someone at least make an asshole worth while and not pick on some bloke who simply happens to be good at something he's practiced long and hard at. Fair go man...

[desalage]

@carouselcarouse kkk sorry

[carouselcarouse]

@desalage Onya sport! :-)

[123perrin]

@desalage ur an idiot. typical soccer hooligan u are. soccer players might be able to do this with a round ball, but with an oval ball? it just goes to show u dont know shit. go back to ur hooligan soccer, where the players are girls.. cop a small knock then fall to the ground in writhing agony... only to have the injury completely dissapear as soon as theyre awarded a free kick. talk about embarrasing rofl

[desalage]

@123perrin u dont know what ur talking about because i'm not even a pro player just amateur and i can do this stuff with a oval shape ball. you think its so hard cuz you watch a skilless sport kid

[123perrin]

@desalage umm.. heres a newsflash - i knew u werent pro!. u can sorta guess that... and if ur so sure u can do the same thing with an oval ball as motlop, do it, and post it on here. but i know you wont...lol. cause ur full of crap. a typical teenage wankstain, who thinks his skills are better than everyone elses. if ur so friggen good, why arent you playing for a major club?? i think u actually feel inferior. do it with an oval ball! and post it/prove it! or remain a wannabe twat lol.

[huwgojones]

THATS why AFL is better than soccer!!!!!!!!!!

[HungryJack87]

Too bad he shits his dacks when the game is on the line.

[LordJimmy]

@HungryJack87 2006 vs. St Kilda? Hahaha.

[richards002]

No he wouldnt, AFL players especially Daniel are much more skilled than league players.

[GdayAus]

Jarryd Hayne would be able to do all that.

He is the definition of a freak.

[Tukann]

jarryd hayne would have no hope in hell of doing anything like that

[linxsta96]

WHAT A FUCKIN' FREAK!

[gibranm]

the footy show just ran a segment with blokes doing similar stuff. Does anyone have that clip? Please post it if you do.

[undercoverdudes]

He is magical Daniel....you never know what he is going to do...love you Daniel!!

[razorproscooteryo]

y dont you do that in a game

[dadoxtus]

I heard an interview with Motlop a few weeks back with Steven Rowe and Graham Cornes and he said that goal he kicked when he flicked it up then volleyed it took him 2 goes to do it. The first time he hit the post, lol

[shaesthebest]

is he related to jon and kawane motlop?

[novachild]

a god amongst men

[lukemaxwell]

On the sports show, The Back Page, they said that there weren't too many takes at all- Motlop's just a freak!!!

[coxy0000]

it took him no takes lol. hes just a freak

[jampt1989]

I wonder how many takes they had to do for him to get all of these right...regardless of that it's still amazing

[zekefrmoz]

Too much skill?.....you really are kidding yourselves. Small minded game for small minded boys from the suburbs of Melbourne.

[mortz101]

he's from the nt u dick

[IFK13Cwalk]

small minded ay wat do play soccer where u just pussy out and fake gettin tripped or do u play league or union where fat braindead monkeyz just run into people no skill required

[zekefrmoz]

Union the game they play in heaven....as well as at least 100 other countries throughout the globe. As for small minded I think your mutilation of the english language shows how well developed your intelligence is. As for Motlop he is a very talented athlete and I would love to see him represent Australia rather than just a scungy suburb of Adelaide.

[wellerazorlight]

there"s a reason why Aussie rules is Australia's national sport, not rugby union

[MarkMX360v1]

DANIEL MOTLOP IS A SUPERSTAR!!!

[buzza49]

IT'S NOT HIS FAULT HE'S SO TALENTED.

[zekefrmoz]

AFL is a skillful game and Motlop is a very skilful player......but jza007 you are an ignorant twerp. Your game has NO future outside of Austalia. Your players will never truly represent Australia because the rest of the world does not care about your game and NEVER will.

Rugby players would struggle to catch modern AFL players. Just like AFL players would have no idea what to do with Stirling Mortlock charging straight at them.

[AlfyLanger20]

haha the only reason no1 else cares bout our game is because they all dont have the SKILL required!!! many players from overseas play our game actually so get ur facts rite, but not many can make it because of the skill level, intenisty of matches, and the flat out speed of mataches....so u go play ur 'bum sniffing' rugby coz no1 cares bout that

[dangreenwood123]

I live in Australia so excuse me if i dont give a FUCK what the latest sporting craze is in Mozambique.

Fact is in OUR country (yes u retard) its the BIGGEST game! Yeah SM might shrug a tackle off in AFL but we would all fucking laugh at watching him trying to kick a 60m goal on the run being chased by defenders on his wrong foot. He would probably fall on his ass let alone kick a goal. This happens EVERY game in AFL by guys a 1/3 size of Stirling Gayfuck

[footykicksass]

rugby is the worse game ever i dont get how u could hate afl footy its lyk the best sport . i lyk the goal where he flicks it up with his feet and vollys it into the goals from the pocket from bout 30m

[call2323]

what a freak

whoever reckons football takes no skill must be fucked up in there small head

[MGMTANTH]

mark meirion is better

[zekefrmoz]

Hendrix you are a loser......there are plenty of gay guys playing afl. Besides Ian Roberts is gay and is tougher than anybody who ever palyed your minimal contact, kick happy game.

[cjx1986]

Kick happy? It's FOOTball you dickhead!

[jza007]

rugby is for stupid meathead looking mf's who stick fingers in each others ass on field and love gettin scrumbed on. No one gives a fuck bout watching dumbcunts run into each other, its fucking gayer than sydney

[hendrixandsabbathrok]

that dribble on the point post is the most overrated goal ever its easy but yeah the rest was freakish

[Waldog111]

you just need a good soccer background to do that trick

[chog2500]

A good soccer background? Is that right Waldog111? You don't think the shape of the ball might make that comparison an utter absurdity? Twit.

[pscucailin]

Puig Aubert

[zekefrmoz]

Frans Steyn could also run through 3/4 of any AFL team and then snap most of them in half with tackles...different skills for diffferent games. Very few rugby players would have the endurance of an average AFL player nor any of their kicking skills but rugby players are much stronger, more powerful.

[kramercraig]

thats just like saying a boxer could knock a rugby player out

[naughtyplanet]

Yeah, if he could CATCH an AFL player.

[hendrixandsabbathrok]

rugbys gay u guys sniff each others ass

[jza007]

i doubt he would be even able to catch a modern AFL player in terms of agility like motlop. Rugby should be called run-ball it fuckin sucks balls

[scamgrammy]

The goal he kicked when he was over the fence was unbelievable. He was behind the goals its impossible. He's probly my fav player and I barrack 4 c'wood!

[chadwickadam]

If he was victorian he would be an all australian. Should have had goal of the year 3 times now.

[computercod5]

@chadwickadam i think he was he played for North Melbourne i think?

[LordJimmy]

@chadwickadam Not sure about All-Australian, but certainly one of the most ridiculously gifted footballers ever in terms of pure footskills. His goal at the Gabba in 2007 was better than Lloyd's back-heel that year which won GOTY but then again just about every goal in 2007 was better than Lloyd's back-heel haha.

[RehGo]

being from canberra i dont even watch afl but i was much impressed!!

[Callsignvector]

Only Aussies would get excited about mediocrity, Have you seen Frans Steyn drop goal from the half way in Union?

Thats special.

[tritty429]

the sport i like is better than the one you like cause im on the internet and my opinion counts more than yours cause i say so

[keeser]

haha, i just looked up frans steyns kick, rugby must be a pretty dull game if thats special, but we all already knew that.

AFL players kick goals from 50-60m every game

[jza007]

that was, you are.....gay. Kicking a 70m goal in AFL is relatively common.

[MIKKIZ69STYLE]

Haha No one ever kicks 70 metre goals with out it bouncing, and teh bounce is just luck haha your a nut case

[AceRimmer1272]

chris newman from richmond against freo, look it up

[dangreenwood123]

my god your are a retard! A reply will confirm your stupidity

[dangreenwood123]

Im a nut case: your a dumb ass.

If a player kicks a goal from outsite the 50meter mark and it lands right on the line then thats a 50m goal.

If it goes back into the grandstand at post height and travels about 10-15m behind the goal line then thats a 65 meter kick. Guess what? Thats happens nearly every fucking game champ. Sorry but the only thing that bounced was you when your mum shat you out

[peter0parker]

The goal distance is determind from where the kick is taken from not where the ball lands eg If the goal is kicked from 20m out and lands outside the ground and in the carpark, then it is still only a 20m goal. If the ball is kicked from 60m out and lands 5m short of the goal line and then rolls through........ guess what? It is still a 60m goal.

[dangreenwood123]

no shit Sherlock- fact still stands goals have been kicked from 70m out (look it up) ends up being a 80m kick. Try to differentiate the difference between the words goal and kick next time

[peter0parker]

Fuck you , you smart arsed cunt!!!!

Mouth off like a bitch behind your computer you piss week cunt!!!

I wasnt having a go at you merly stating a fact!!!!

So once again FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[dangreenwood123]

:( Fact still stands goals have been kicked from 70m. Of course if someone marks and goals in the pocket and boots it in the carpark its not a 60m goal

[roccarock3007]

u can talk

[pipty11]

can you say holy fuck...because HOLY FUCK haha!!

[Powertip]

Simply amazing... he is so awesome to watch. Onyl player to make me laugh during a game. Kudos to TheKraftyOne for posting the video even though you are a Crows supporter. I'm interested to know tho... how did you get the footage from your TV to the computer?
