Well certainly based on length and angle it is....up there with Blight's

Did anyone get a chance to gauge the distance?  70-75m?

    The fact that there was approx 3 cameras at the ground will prevent it from happening.

    Different from all the dribbling or fluke accident goals we see every week. Completely purposeful, took great skill and composure. Yes from me.

    Hell of an effort.  The kid has some serious swagger to him. 

    He really does - he keeps pulling out the tricks, but also has such hardness. He marches to the beat of his own drum, Jayden - it's great to see a personality like that in our club. It's been a long time since we've had legitimate swagger, and now we've got a couple that can turn it on.

    I think it is for sure. Commentators said 65m. Something magical about a massive spiral. 

    Re the cameras- I've seen one from behind following the ball straight on and one from side on the get a sense of the distance . 

    Just unreal!

    It had a bit of a mongrel spin on it to so getting that distance was impressive.

    How good does it look just booming off the boot? Amazing goal. 

    When you consider all the players that have a half arsed or even serious try at this each week and fail dismally. There was a Hawks player that missed by 50 metres the other week, and he was only 60 out.

    Great goal, and somthing different to the typical miraculous dribblers. Still not sure it will win GOTH but great moment none the less

    Didn't think he was gonna get anywhere near it. From the look on his face afterwards neither did he. Just brilliant.

    Goal of the year for sure if it was Dangerfield or Eddie.

    The ball looked like it cleared the fence - thats a 70m kick.

  • Quote

    It was 70 metres. Definitely better than the left foot bananas. 

    All Dees fans need to get online and vote. 

    Olivers goal v Crows earlier in the year was also sensational.

    The football community has been waiting 4 decades to see Blight's goal replicated. Many have tried but failed. There has been some great torpedo kick highlights over the years but Hunt's is as good as Blight's. The elevation he got on the kick was incredible. The camera shot from behinds was astonishing. Never seen a camera highlight quite like it. Blight's kick was more important because he won the game with that kick. Hunt's wins on degree of difficulty because he was on a more severe angle. Distance about the same as with elevation. This kick will be on highlight reels for decades to come, GOTY for sure and we may not see one like it again.

    Didn't someone from Port kick a decent torp against us at Adelaide Oval in 2011? Same flank, perhaps from 55-60m, maybe after the 3qtr siren? Memory fuzzy.

    Correction: was Travis Boak at qtr-time.

    First thing I did this morning was watch this goal again and again. I'm still relishing in Jack Watts and Tom McDonald's amazing goals in the past few weeks. Jayden's is up there for me with those (even though it wasn't match winning). 

    May he kick many more.

    Another memorable moment by Hunt last night was his chase down of Charlie Cameron.  He caught up enough to make Cameron dribble the ball rather than have a clean kick.  It was fascinating to watch the two of them go flat out.  Cameron is also very fast, Hunt is just faster!

    Now 'THAT'S' footy !!!

    65m to 70m out. Went through at half post high

    Wrong side for a right footer and degree of difficulty was off the charts

    After the siren (shame it wasn't to win the game) at a critical time

    Had we won the game that would have been the goal at which we turned the tide

    Beats those little dribblers around the corner

    Many have tried to do a torpedo punt (to give it the correct name) for a long bomb goal and very few succeed. Mostly they are from in front of goal.

    Best barrel since Malcolm Blight

    Easily goal of the year.

    Not eligible for GOTY because it wasn't voted as the weekend winner by the public.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
