I had posted it in the post game thread - Aubrey's kick traveled further than any other made FG kick in American and Canadian rules football history at any level. Even the 69 yarder by Ove Johansson was about 70 to 71 over the cross bar, had a 17 mph wind boost, and was done vs a small college. Both high school and college are much easier to kick FGs for as the special teams players are much less skilled, and smaller so kickers can kick straighter rather than having to kick higher to avoid blocks.

My philosophy of kickers is that I would go for it mostly inside the 40, so making long field goals and extending the team's scoring range, as well as touchbacks, is the main value of a kicker. If i can get several long field goals out of the kicker and an extra few touchbacks, that's going to make up for any shortfall in the more conventional kicking game and probably then some.

So yes, I like Brandon Aubrey a lot.
