Good kick. Must've been a decent breeze too.

Sometimes, a long bomb can work. When you can kick a goal from the centre. 

Beats 6-8 handballs, a kick or two sideways and then a turnover..

    Love to see that in a game today. 

    Danny Hughes could bomb a kick that length, from full back

    Great to watch

    Would love him in the Melbourne team...   one more hitout at Casey and he has to be a chance vs the Crows.

    Of all the players in the VFL side at the moment I think he has the most attributes that can impact on the AFL side...can play midfield or forward, decent pace, is a powerful type. Not a lot of finesse to his game but a lot of brute force!

    Yes  makes opposition players look over their shoulders     Complete opposite to [censored]    Hated that when Carlscum of all teams called us soft.   No matter how true it might have been.   no longer the case.

    Go Dees

    Brute force can be very useful in September when everything is on the line

    From memory, we don't actually have many players who can kick over 50m, maybe Melksham is the only consistent one, Vince in years gone by. I wonder, compared to other sides with longer kicks, does it cost us 1-2 goals a game. I'll look into it when I have time

     think the main worry would be fitness. Even when he was fully fit he'd tire at the end of games with all the effort he puts in.

    Hope he can build up the tank and push for selection close to finals!

    Plus after what has happened to Viney and Stretch, I don't think the club would be stupid enough to rush him back.....surely....

    His foot looks like it is coming long very nicely.

    Jaydn Hunt can get into them, but injured and in the twos.

    Great kick. Gonads the size of a football this guy

    No wonder he's always injured. What an impediment. I'm surprised he can even run.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
