Now that Lynden Dunn has gone, who's  the longest kick at the club? Not the best kick - the longest.

Just curious.

    Were you at windy hill when he kicked those 4 or 5 goals in the last 1/4?

    Every one a torp from outside 50 that when sailing through more than post high!

    Must have been like the 80's. 

    I reckon they went 70 metres .....we did have the windy hill wind blowing our end.

    Finest example of multiple goal long kicking I ever saw .

    Hon. mention for Malcom Blights unbelievable torp goal at Prices Park and that one from G Lyon from inside the square at the G.

    I was at that game. I think Paul Vander Haar was his direct opponent (maybe wrong, memory fades a bit after 26 years).

    Bennett sure could kick 'em long but he kicked 'em so high, if they didn't register a score the defenders had plenty of time to get back and contest. A great attribute in American football, but not so good in our game.

    I would have to say Bernie. CP5 hasnt got a bad leg also.

    From the past to name a few. Bennett, Graham (Geelong) , Blight, Melbournes Wheatley.

     

    Old Dee, may still remember the day Fred Fanning roostered one Drop kick   105.5m (116 yards)

    (Melbourne Seconds VFL), v Richmond, Seconds Grand Final, MCG, September 1939.

    That's if he wasnt already blind and holding up the bar in the members stand.

    Yeah well, what can I say, I'm a rebel. 

    It was a rainy day at the top of the old northern stand at the G, circa 1987. Melbourne were thumping the Filth and as a five year old sensing Dad's discomfort, declared I now barrack for the Dees. 

    Fast forward six years and he still hadn't bought me a Melbourne scarf or beanie. I had to go to 'footy day' at primary school wearing black and white, but reassuring everyone "it's ok, I actually go for the Dees". 

    To be fair, he took me along to plenty of Dees games, but I suffered many boring afternoons at Victoria Park. I would amuse myself by collecting 'cash-a-cans' and climbing the scoreboard with other kids. 

    To this day, I still don't think he's forgiven me.

    GLyon also kicked a beauty as I recall at VFL Park in the wet in a final v Carltank to seal or maybe rescue the game.

    Tassie Johnson #8 used to drop kick from full back into the centre mud heap on a regular basis.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
