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?

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.

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!

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.

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.  

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
