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

Famous quotes containing the words australian and/or rules:
“Beyond the horizon, or even the knowledge, of the cities along the coast, a great, creative impulse is at work—the only thing, after all, that gives this continent meaning and a guarantee of the future. Every Australian ought to climb up here, once in a way, and glimpse the various, manifold life of which he is a part.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
“The five kings count the dead but do not soften
The crusted wound nor stroke the brow;
A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven;
Hands have no tears to flow.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
