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.

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
