Yep, it's the longest measured goal in AFL/VFL history at 86metres. There are some other goals way back that "claim" longer but are heresay only or printed in papers of the day but exaggeration plays a huge part.

No the longest goal was 105 metres long

@@themetroboy22 You just pulled out exactly what I was talking about in my above comment. That 105m goal was never measured, it was published in the papers, in other words grossly exaggerated.

@@off1k they were doing place kicks with steel capped boots.

​@@purebloodsunite7489 There were no such thing as steel capped boots when these so called 100m plus kicks and goals took place.

*VFL history

See how far back it went. Most of them only just clear the goal line, but his went right into the stands.

*Blights was well inside the centre square. Went 6O metres max. It went high, not far.💯%*

*Little League Goal Posts.💯%*

He kicks it from about 55 metres out, tops.

I mean you just saw someone kick one from the guts at Moorabbin.....

Dietrich easily the longer kick out of that bunch and possibly all time. Blights was nowhere near that distance.

North Melbourne siu

*Blights was well inside the centre square. 6Ometres MAX !! Such an overrated goal. It went high that's all.*

*2O goal wind breeze.💯%*

Nah Howies a legend.

Whole channel 7 commentary team are worse than Howie

@@Reginaldinho712 absolutely attrocious commentator lineup they have rn, BT, selwood, luke hodge, jb list goes on haha

@Reginaldinho712 they're mostly ok but howie is a knob

Same with Anthony Hudson and BT.

I agree both big kick’s especially that last one

​@@housederb1868Last one had a 1OOkmh tailwind.

Jeff Fehring kicked that 86metres from goal line to be exact, it was measured at the time in 1981. Bounced about 1m from goal so the kick itself went about 85m. Malcolm Blight's goal was about 65-70m from goal but went about 15m into the crowd, making the kick about 80-85m.

@@off1kwow everyone says Jeff fehring was about 100 metres and Malcolm blight 97!

Ben Graham's famous kickin was 85.4m and went past halfway, so these sound pretty accurate 📏

@@Aunini You talkin about that massive kick-in against Port Adelaide at Kardinia Park. Kardinia Park is 170metres from goal to goal making half-way 85metres, so minus 9 metres for the goal square, add how much past half-way which looked about 7 metres = 83metres. The kick was off centre though which may add a couple more metres, so yeah 85metres sounds pretty much spot on. I gather that kick was measured considering you were specific with 85.4m.

@@off1k that's the one, they used a measuring wheel for it

add the 10 metres back in the crowd fletchers' went and I reckon they are about even

Measured at 86m if I remember correctly

Was just going to post the same thing.

I'm pretty sure it's an attempt of a torp but wobbles instead of cleanly sawing through the air

barrel spirals upright, torp spirals flat. you can angle the ball to specifically kick either one

Yeah, I thought the same.

@@ThomasThorr Really? There's actually a difference?

Thank you for the correct term.

Same. It's a torp. All day

Yeah, that's what I thought. Since when has it been a "barrel??"

100% When the 50 metre arcs were ACTUALLY 50 metres they were about 2 metres from the centre circle

Yep, him and Ablett Snr both kicked multiple 70m goals in their career. What about that Michael Voss epic drop punt from approx 65-70m. The best player to kick long goals on their non-dominant foot was Jason Akermanis, he was kicking them from 60m either foot.

Torpedoes. Torpedo Punts. Torps.

I was standing right behind Daicos at Vic Park one day against Saints when unloaded one from the boundary at least 50m out - beautiful to watch.

No you can’t

Wrong sport, bro. This one is contact, and not played on a court the size of a table tennis table.

Stfu bud best sport in the world
