The first AFL player to kick the supergoal was Colm Begley of Brisbane Lions.
You have to take the free kick. That's an old rule that dates back to the days when you could take a mark in soccer and rugby. Rugby kept it (from within the defensive 22, anyway) and retained the rule that the mark must be followed by a free kick.
Obviously, you need skill! you have to know how to kick, mark, handball, run and all that! You need to be really fit as well. thanks
Kick goals.
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!

Yes. Once an umpire has called play to continue or has not blown his whistle to stop play, any player on the field can kick a goal from inside the boundary line at any time; there are no formal restrictions on who, when, where, or how as long as the ball is considered to be within the field of play. Even when a player is awarded a free kick due to an opposition player kicking the ball out of play on the full, the player taking the free kick is quite at liberty to kick a goal directly from that boundary line free kick.
Why ... none other than Mark ["Jacko"] Jackson! "Oi!!" He was "an individual"; you couldn't fool him!LOL!
