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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
