Australian Rules
The bicycle kick is also rarely used in Australian rules football. The oval shaped ball makes it much more difficult to control the direction of the snap, however the area of the goals is larger. Some notable goal attempts using the kick in the Australian Football League include:
- Allen Jakovich (goal) – 1994 AFL season. He kicked a total of 11 goals for the game.
- Alan Didak (behind) – 2007 AFL season
- Brad Johnson (goal) – 2008 AFL season
