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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
