Paul Wheatley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Wheatley (born April 12, 1981) is an Australian Rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

A 100 game veteran, Wheatley has played for the Melbourne Demons since 2000 after being selected at number 20 in the 1999 AFL Draft.

Wheatley is known for his prodigious kicking, with his ability to pinpoint 60+ metre passes using the drop punt. He is also known to be able to kick long distance torpedo punts, which led to speculation that he might try out as an American football punter. Paul polled 2 votes this year in the Brownlow a career high and his first votes ever. He has the record in the NAB Cup with the most goals scored outside of 50m.
