Longest goal ever seen leaves footy world in sheer disbelief

The longest goal you're ever likely to see in a game of footy has been kicked. In the opening quarter of the VFL clash between Coburg and Sydney, it was Swans player Jordan Endemann who delivered the absurd scenes.

The kick was unloaded from just inside the back end of the centre square and quickly sailed out of view of the camera as it soared through the air. As the camera panned toward Sydney's forward 50, Swans forward Jack Buller turned and began sprinting back towards goal. The ball came back into view, landing around 25-30m from the goals. But the journey wasn't over there as it rolled end on end, beating out Buller and Coburg defender Rhys Galvin as it bounced through for a goal. Watch the truly absurd goal in the video player above The moment was quickly uploaded to all corners of the internet with footy fans losing their minds over what they'd just seen unfold. Code Sports' Lachlan McKirdy wrote on X: 'Excuse me?? This feels illegal.' The Age's Peter Ryan wrote: 'Had to have a ping from there! Ridiculous.' Lenny Phillips wrote: 'Gotta be f***ing kidding.' The official AFL account added: 'Our jaws are on the FLOOR.' Another fan wrote: 'That's gone around 100 metres I reckon.' One added: 'Longest goal ever easily.' One fan tried to figure out the actual distance of the goal by deploying Google Maps. His calculations, while stating he wasn't claiming 100 per cent accuracy, had the goal measuring in at 109m. While Endemann stole the limelight, it was the only bright spot on the day for the Swans. After Sydney kicked the opening three goals of the contest, Coburg flipped the script by kicking 11 of the final 16 goals. Coburg took the lead midway through the second quarter and never looked back as they secured the 11.23 (89) to 8.9 (57) victory. The win is Coburg's second straight and takes them to 4-4, while the loss sinks the Swans into even further turmoil with their record sitting at a paltry 1-7. A few more 100m bombs from Endemann might be the only way to turn things around.

AFL fans stunned by 'longest goal ever' during VFL match: 'That is outrageous!'

AFL fans have been left reeling after an astonishing goal in the VFL that many are claiming to be the longest ever. Sydney player Jordan Endemann delivered the moment, kicking an absurd goal against Coburg at Barry Plant Park. Endemann received the ball on the back flank after a turnover and decided to unleash a booming torpedo from his own half. The ball seemed to travel around 75m in the air, clearing a couple of players at the 50m line. It landed about 25-30m from the goals and kept bouncing. Two players did their best to chase, but the ball eventually bounced through for a goal. Fans at the park cheered and the incredible act was quickly uploaded to social media where fans debated if it was the longest goal in Australian football history. 'That's gone around 100 metres I reckon.' 'That is f**king outrageous,' replied another. 'Longest goal ever easily,' posted a third. 'Holy Cow That is HUUUUGGGEEEE!!' another said. One added: 'Off two steps. Ridiculous!' One footy fan used Google Maps to try and figure out the exact length of the kick. His calculations showed 109m, although not 100 per cent accurate.
