Monster Long Goal

[MadMaxx]

Yes I KNOW it is VFL, but check the roost here from todays Coburg V Box Hill game:

Cant remember a longer goal than this for a few years.

 

[maryjames]

Good goals but thats a small ground.

 

[Spluff]

Good goals but thats a small ground.

It's the same dimensions as the MCG.

Goddard

Freo vs St Kilda at Subi oval, kicking 2 Perth end,

monster of a kick.

It's the same dimensions as the MCG.

Looks tiny.

 

[byronstjames]

That is a monster.

70+ metres into the wind or no wind assistance is ridiculous.

 

[Barabbas]

Small ground, but that first one is still a huge kick.

 

[nugget_12]

Spluff is right, i live 5 minutes from the ground and was there today, and they were monster goals from Muston on a ground that is the exact same size as the MCG. i agree it does look small on TV though

at that stage the wind had died a little and its hard to say which way it was blowing but it definantly wasnt coming over his shoulder to give him more distance.

Dan Connors was unleashing some massive kicks into 50 today aswell but they were kicking with the wind.

At the Werribee vs Gold Coast game tonight not sure of the player but their was massive goal from a Werribee in the last quarter, it was huge. Also Mitch Thorp took mark of the year. MASSIVE

 

[DidakDelight]

Looks like a long kicking version of Judd when he was at west coast.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Pfft!!! Long goals like that were the norm back in the 70s.

 

[gbug]

Whats more impressive is he follows it up with another - from almost as far out!

Shannon Hurn's 70m drop punt of two steps

The goal itself wasn't as far as Hurn's...
But that kick just sailed through post high. Probably traveled another 15m

 

[Godzke]

Not interested in your Goddard and Hurn videos ... we all know Fletcher pwns all for long kicking so can it.

As for Muston, top effort and congrats to him.

 

[Gavin Excell]

I watched that game.

AFter being overrun by Coburg late, Hawks second side suffers like the seniors with its inability to run out games.

great kick.

To those saying "smaller ground"

The 50 metre arc doesnt magically shrink from ground to ground see that arc? that marks 50 metres out. add in the 15-20 metres he is behind that and youve got a near on 70m bomb

The ground is Richmonds new training ground. It was built to match the MCG, so is exactly the same size.

It's not like the SCG is it where they're not actually 50m?

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

Considering other players couldn't make the distance from 35-40m at that end it was an amazing effort.

 

[Cynic]

Now if he can just hit a target from 40m

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

That first one was massive. Reminded me a Voss bomb from the late nineties.

 

[stellation]

It's not like the SCG is it where they're not actually 50m?

I believe they changed it so that the SCG 50 metre marks are at 50 metres (which is why they intersect with the centre square).

 

[Hard Ball Get]

It is the same size as the MCG.
So the ground is NOT small.
