The distance between the goal posts is officially 7 yards; so that is 21 feet.
In metric that is 6.4 metres.
The width of the goal posts themselves is not official, so this might vary; but the rule states that at lest the bottom 2 metres of each post must be padded as protection. In some grounds, the base of the posts can be even 8 or 9 inches thick due to the padding.

What does an AFL goal kicker do?
well, anyone in a team of players in AFL can kick a goal. as long as they have the ball and can kick it through the large goal posts, then they can kick a goal. but, position-wise, generally, the goal kickers are the players that play the positions 'full-forward' and 'half-forward' and they simply need to get the ball and somehow kick it through the goals, whether it be from a mark and a set shot or a running kick through. sometimes midfielders will run up and kick goals and occaisionally even a defender will run through the middle, receive the ball and have a go. hope that helps!

If the ball is kicked through the two large posts, it is a goal, worth six points. If a ball is kicked through a large post and a small post, it is a behind, worth only one point. or, if the ball is touched, hanballed, or put through the large posts by the opposing team it is a behind instead of a goal.
