HAVE you got what it takes to beat the AFL’s best?
Each week on AFL.com.au, the League’s biggest stars are showing just how impressive their kicking skills are in Gatorade’s GChallenges campaign. From wheelie bins to basketball hoops and everything in between, the biggest names in the game show just how tricky they can get with a footy.
Collingwood captain Scott Pendlebury got it started, using his silky left boot to perfectly kick a Sherrin into a wheelie bin - a wheelie bin that was located in the Pies’ gym, with Pendlebury high up in the overlooking grandstand.
Not to be outdone, Sydney Swan star Luke Parker pulled the dribble kick out of his bag of tricks to take the challenge to the next level. We know just how well Parker can dribble a footy during a game but it’s obvious Parker’s talents extend outside the footy field.
And just in case you thought Gary Ablett couldn’t get any better, the ‘Little Master’ laid down the ‘nothing but net’ challenge, perfectly snapping a footy into a basketball net with a half-court swoosh even the NBA’s reigning MVP would be proud of.
For the next three weeks, a new challenge will be set by the AFL Gatorade Ambassadors, and footy fans can take to the streets, school ovals, backyards, or anywhere they feel inspired, to show they can match it with the League’s elite.
