Question

In Afl do you have to be in the front row to score a goal?

Answer 1

no anyone can

Answer 2

Anyone can score a goal.

Answer 3

how can you score a goal in the front row, you are too busy eating hot dogs and drinking beer, you'd have to jump the fence, nah, that's no good, you must be a player at least.

silly boy. go back to the sand pit, son.

edit-put a sock in it 'gurg' ya grommit, or i will get A.B onto you, never!! this is our sanctuary, LMFAO!!

gurgy boy, knock it off, havent you heard of michael roach, jeff hogg, brian taylor, richo is a wingman too, get your facts right, best winger in the game too champ, who has been your full forward, ok ablett, oh yeah larry donahue, lol, thats funny, good one rom boy.

Answer 4

Come on Romper, give the boy a break!

No mate, it's called the full forward line and they kick most of the goals but anyone can score.  Quite often half forwards with big kicks can get the most goals in a game.

For your info the 'rows' are called Full Forward line (front row), Half forward (positioned 50 to 70 metres out when they line up), Centre, Half back and Full back. Then there's usually three dedicated 'on-ballers' who follow the play around.  It's open to the coach to change that, it's just the traditional way of 'lining up'.

EDIT - you see Romper has never actually followed a team that has a full forward, so he has trouble accepting the question.  Well that's not fair really, his team does have a full forward ... nickname of 'Dropsies"

Answer 5

don't think I understand your question fully... but from what I can get out of it, I think the answer is...

No, anyone can score a goal.

Answer 6

Yes, you do.

No-one can score a goal from behind me!

Answer 7

Go back to your rugby sh*thead

Answer 8

Anyone can score, except if you are sitting on the bench

Answer 9

No.

I don't like sitting in the front row - it makes the screen look too big.

I prefer the dress circle.

Answer 10

If you mean if it's like Netball where only a certain number of people in a certain area can score then no.

Anyone on the field can score from any part of the ground

Answer 11

Anyone can score a goal against the other team. As long as the ball is kicked through to two tall sticks without it being touched by the opposition  player.

Answer 12

Ummmmm.... No.

Answer 13

this is AFL not American footy anyone can score a goal. I've seen great fullbacks kick goals. Can anybody remember (back in the 70's i think) when the back line become the forward line and won the grand final? Anyone can kick goals.

Answer 14

i do not understand mate... but i can take a guess what ur trying to say... do u mean the forward line? or being a supporter sitting in the front row..well if its the second i still dont get u...lol but anyways... any player on the field can score a goal... even a backman...although its rare i remember times where scarlett, glass and mal michael have kiked goals...

Answer 15

No you don't have to be playing on the forward line if thats what you mean. Many goals are scored by centre half forwards and midfielders.

Even backmen can be up the ground and in a position to score a goal. i think that Dustin Fletcher (full back for Essendon) has got one of the biggest kicks int he AFL and he has actually scored a goal from just outside of the centre square before!

Answer 16

What?

AFL doesn't have front rowers or line backs or anything, anyone can go anywhere if they wanted to, and anyone can score a goal
