Sign him up to the AFL! Impressive moment barefoot amateur footy player kicks an IMPOSSIBLE banana bender goal
- Jarras Attwood Sailor kicked a virtually impossible banana goal barefoot
- The TikTok of his incredible kick went viral, even though it was not in a match
- Commenters went wild and one even tagged the official AFL TikTok account
A young Aussie rules footballer has wowed social media by casually kicking a freakish, almost impossible barefoot banana goal from behind the boundary.
Jarras Attwood Sailor, 21, from Jigalong in the Pilbara region of Western Australian was showing off with mates when he flicked the ball into his hands with his feet, then somehow nailed the goal of a lifetime.
Sailor kicked the footy from behind the boundary at Colin Matheson Oval at Port Hedland – with no view of the open goal – meaning he needed to kick it left and bend it right to score the major.
Jarras Attwood Sailor, 21, kicked a banana goal that would be worthy of an AFL Grand Final winner and was lucky enough that a mate was filming him
The cocky 21-year-old wasn’t content to attempt the impossible goal, he had to flick it airborne without using his hands
His remarkable 40-metre kick quickly went viral on Tik Tok, earning over 200,000 likes plus plenty of praise and bemusement.
‘You did that with no shoes? How?’ one person wrote.
‘That isn’t a footy, it’s a boomerang,’ another wrote.
‘That bend!’, ‘What a kick!’ and ‘scout him now,’ other comments said.
One commenter did tag the official AFL account.
‘Imagine if someone did this in the game!’ one commented.
Mr Sailor did not miss a chance to respond, ‘Gonna do it this week!’ he said.
Mr Sailor is clearly beyond the boundary when he kicks the ball, meaning he has no sight of the goals
The kick may have looked a fluke, but Mr Sailor’s talent – and confidence – is real.
He was chosen in 2019 to join a group of talented Martu players for an East v West Western Desert curtain-raiser before the Grand Final between Collingwood and West Coast.
‘When I kicked a goal, I celebrated by doing a back flip,’ Mr Sailor said at the time.
He plays for the Bidyadanga Emus in the West Kimberley Football League.
