DICK LEE of Collingwood 1906-1922 is the first VFL/AFL Player to kick the Drop Punt.
�Forwards today should have seen Lee getting goals in his heyday.
He got them from the boundary line, and was
the first player to exploit the accuracy of the drop-punt�.
I discovered the above ground breaking information this week in �The Sporting Globe of 06 May 1953 - "Dicky Lee �gamest man to pull on a footy boot� by Hec de Lacy.�
For further information see �The First Drop Punt. Recent research from a kick historian: on Google
Almanac History: George Goninon and the �punt drop� kick. on Google.
and
Stab Kick to Stab Punt and Drop Kick to Drop Punt. On Google.
Researched by "Stab Punt� Jim Johnson. |
