    Estimates how long the kick was? Further out than I realised when watching the video, thats for sure. Hes a mile behind the 50.

    Did Fox show the goal from any other angle than behind Hunt at ground level?

    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. 

    Highlight of the year for me!

    There has been some great torps over the years sadly they get quickly forgotten

    Not that I saw. My wife watched it on the AFL website this morning and they also showed a side-on view, like Petraccattacks still shot above.

     

    Amazing kick, really took off, like Blight's.

    It was great. That could solve our problems kicking out after an oppositions behind. Just get Jayden to barrel it. 

    But nice to see the torp back.

    Was a great goal, got my blood well and truely pumping at the time.  Wasn't quite to win the game, but it could have been a bit of a momentum shifter.  Put us back within 21 points or so, and had we kicked the first of the last, it would have been back to 15, the Crows were looking a bit like they were running out of steam, low on rotations with Lever and Slone both off and the energy sapping humidity.

    Alas it wasn't quite enough to turn the game in our favor, but it was a great goal and capped off a real return to top form from Jayden, who I've thought had been ok, without being exceptional of late.

    He has a powerful kick. Just ask Patrick Cripps.

    Darren Bennett kicked a goal from almost the centre of the ground at Princess Park one day in the early 1990s. Can't remember who it was against.

    I saw Bennett kick a few 70 metre Goals at the Western Oval 1989-90, they went through Post High. 

    Hunt's goal was right up there

    Such a pity Hogan was not paid the mark when he was ripped of the ball going for the 2nd grab. A Goal there could have turned the game. As it was Adelaide kicked away seconds later, much to the delight of the Adelaide crowd....

    I've seen Lyon and Bennett kick longer torps but that was probably a harder shot at goal .

    I reckon he didn't quite hit it as sweetly as he could have and he could potentially have kicked it further.

    Having said that , I'll settle for a miskick like that anytime.

    Lynden Dunn?  As I recall it was the longest and almost last kick in his MFC career.

    Is it possible that Melksham's goal was from longer out? Hunt's looked 60 out. Melksham's 65, albeit dribbled the last 10 or 15.

    Possibly,  but it's a bit different bouncing it through to clearing a pack waiting in the square.

    Trac has bounced a fair few from outside 50 this year and again on Saturday night.  Pretty good wepon to have in todays footy I recon.

    It's always fun when players line up for a shot after the siren from crazy distances, they load up for the barrel and 90% of the time they skew off badly and most of the other times they just don't make the distance. 

    Seeing Hunt bang it through would've been something special for the Demon faithful who traveled up there. 

    Love this kid, I reckon he'll be a star.

    was just naming players who kicked goals with torps ,dunns was massive. Would have loved him to have a ping from 80 out!

    When we play in our next Grand Final I'll be putting a cool 100 on this kid for the Norm Smith Medal.

    • 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.
