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.

    (Jayden didn't actually kick the ball, it was beamed in from a UFO. #tinfoilhat)

    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.

    Perhaps there should be a torp of the year award as well ...

    Newton's law?

    Slobbo carrying on on 360 about how it's a travesty that Buddy's goal isn't goal of the week, let alone the year.

    "anyone can get into a torp" apparently...

    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.

    Did he eat them in one go?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
