AFL fans lose it over ‘longest goal ever' by Sydney VFL player Jordan Endemann

7NEWS24-05-2025
AFL fans are losing their collective minds over an incredible goal in the VFL that could lay claims to be the longest ever.
Sydney VFL player Jordan Endemann is the man with the superboot, kicking a goal against Coburg at Barry Plant Park that has left many people scratching their heads.
WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Endemann kicks incredible 100m goal.
When Endemann got the ball on the wing, just about in line with the backside of centre square, it seemed impossible for what was about to unfold.
With no obvious option, he just unloaded a torpedo to get it out of danger. The ball must have travelled at least 75m in the air, clearing the only two players, who were stationed at about the 50m line.
The ball then took a fortuitous bounce and just kept going towards goals. The two players chased hard, but the ball just kept going and eventually crossed the goalline.
A clip of the goal quickly went viral on social media with fans losing it.
'Holy Cow That is HUUUUGGGEEEE!!' One fan said.
'That's gone around 100 metres i reckon,' another said.
'Longest goal ever easily,' another added.
'This will never be defeated,' another said.
'New nickname for him: End-to-Endemann,' a clever fan said.
One fan used Google Maps to try and predict the length of the kick. The result showed 109m, although it wouldn't be 100 per cent accurate.
The goal gave the Swans an early 17-point advantage, but Coburg fought back to eventually claim a 32-point win.
Endemann, 21, was a member of the Swans Academy but was overlooked in the drafts.

Sheezel equals possession record in Kangaroos rout

Young gun Harry Sheezel has equalled the all-time AFL possessions record in North Melbourne's 48-point victory over Richmond. The 20-year-old picked up 54 disposals on Sunday afternoon in Hobart, on par with Tom Mitchell's effort for Hawthorn against Collingwood in 2018. Sheezel, who also finished with two goals, surpassed the Kangaroos' club record of 44 - jointly held by Brent Harvey, Phil Kelly and Ryan Bastinac - in the fourth quarter. He had a chance in the dying stages to have the league record to his own from a centre bounce but couldn't get his hands on the ball. Sheezel reached 28 disposals and five clearances in the first half and went on with the job in the second. No player has passed the 50-disposal mark since Brisbane's Lachie Neale in 2019. The Kangaroos led by eight points at the main break but pulled away with a eight-goal third term in the 20.15 (135) to 13.9 (87) result. 🚨 HARRY SHEEZEL 50TH TOUCH 🚨#AFLNorthTigers AFL (@AFL) August 17, 2025 North's fifth win of the year came at a cost, with star Cameron Zurhaar limping off with an ankle problem early in the second quarter after his leg was twisted in a tackle. The Tigers had their own problems, with key defender Nick Vlastuin also hobbling off with an ankle injury after falling awkwardly in a heavy collision. North youngster Paul Curtis joined in on the fun with a career-high five goals, featuring several snaps from tight angles, and a one-handed mark. Remarkably, 11 of the top 12 possession-getters for the game wore blue and white. Before a crowd of 11,176, the match was North Melbourne's final home game in Hobart at the end of a 13-year deal to play in Tasmania. Tom Lynch started strongly for Richmond, kicking his team's first two majors and getting the better of Kangaroos' defender Toby Pink for both. He finished with three goals but could have had more if not for some wayward set shots. North had more inside 50s (15-8) in the opening term but were wasteful, missing five consecutive shots at goal. The Tigers took a 29-16 lead into the second quarter before back-to-back goals from Curtis put the Kangaroos ahead. North's fifth win of the year came at a cost, with star Cameron ix goals-a-p

Norm Smith medallist Bobby Hill's finals hopes under threat as AFL absence set to continue

Norm Smith medallist Bobby Hill's hopes of a recall remain in doubt ahead of the AFL finals, with Collingwood coach Craig McRae flagging the small forward is still working his way back into calculations. Personal issues have restricted Hill to just one half of senior football and one game of VFL over the past two months. Despite missing selection for the Pies' loss to the Crows on Saturday night he travelled with the team to Adelaide instead of facing Port Melbourne in the VFL. Whether that decision helps or harms Hill's hopes of returning to the AFL side this season remains to be seen. 'Bobby's getting better every day,' McRae said after Collingwood lost to the Crows by just three points. 'Not sure if he's available next week but it's pleasing to have him back this week training hard for us.' Hill near his best would undoubtedly boost the Pies but it appears form is not the deciding factor, according to 7NEWS Melbourne's Mitch Cleary. 'Feels like Collingwood's senior players are just waiting to win a bit of trust back with Bobby Hill,' he said on Sunday Footy Feast. 'Everything you hear around the club — he's been missing some sessions here and there, clearly dealing with some personal concerns away from the club. 'I think, hearing Craig McRae there, it's unlikely he'll play next week.' If he misses out on a recall to face Melbourne next week, Hill's case could yet be helped by returning to play for Collingwood's VFL team. The reserves are set for a wildcard final next weekend and a win there would set up an elimination final during the AFL's pre-finals bye. Hill has kicked a goal in all but one of his AFL appearances this season and notched multiple majors in wins over fellow finals hopefuls Fremantle, Brisbane and the Bulldogs. Meanwhile, McRae expects Jeremy Howe to be straight back in next week after missing the Adelaide game with concussion.
