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 IS he'll be a star.

    He's got the attributes to get there but I rate stars as Paddy Dangermouse, Buddy Franklin, and Nat Fyfe. Ain't there yet, but boy the kids got some tricks up his sleeve.

    That ball just hung in the air and seemed to get higher and higher. Loved it. More torps please.

    Also love Hunt's reaction- cool as a cucumber, although maybe due to being a little shocked. Would have been within his rights to have an over-the-top celebration, but he kept an awareness of where the game was at and held back.

    Thanks for posting DJ. The Sporting Globe Hotel in Richmond went completely bonkers.

    Not sure whether you were upstairs or downstairs but it was a great atmosphere downstairs when he kicked it. We were still in it!

    If only he could have done that at the start... I had him in the first goal kicker sweeps..

    Yes I'd never been there before. Great atmosphere. We were upstairs with the big screen and packed with demon supporters. I thought they would all go through the floor! Do they have something going with the club? Seemed to be demons raffles etc.

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

    Is this certain? I vaguely recall Jurrah won MOTY despite not winning the weekly poll. Is it different with GOTY?

    I stand corrected. From Wikipedia:

    After each round of the regular AFL season, three "mark of the week" nominations are determined by a panel of football experts. The general public can then vote for a weekly winner on the AFL website.[1][6]

    After the regular season's end, the title is given to a single mark, which is chosen by the All-Australian selection committee; the public is not given a say in the final outcome. The selection committee is not restricted to choosing a winner from the mark of the week winners; indeed, in 2010, the two favourites both came in round 21, and although the public voted Brendon Goddard as mark of the week, the selection panel named Jurrah as Mark of the Year. The winner is announced during grand final week.[6]

    GOTY 

    Any one of the goals of the round is able to win the official Goal of the Year.

    When Newton won Mark of the Year, in the week of his voting there was a fairly average slips catch mark by a West Coast player that was clearly inferior.

    However, because West Coast had so many fans the result was suspiciously a tie between that mark and Newton's for the mark of the week.

    No doubt the AFL realised that Newton's was the best mark and tweaked the numbers.

    It's not even decided yet is it?

    What a moron anyway. Most weeks there's 2 great goals and one has to miss out. 

    Let Slobbo kick a torp from 40 straight in front, if he nails it Buddy can have it.

    Give him 10 metres and he'll still miss. You can't play footy after a dozen scotch and cokes.

    It's funny because every week lots of players try the torp, and guess what it usually goes terribly wrong.

    Looking at the GOTY wiki-page, it says no one has ever won the award from a set-shot. I also just read that NicNat, expecting a new car, received 52 boxes of Weetbix as a total prize for MOTY.

    • 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.
