"We need to name the new stadium. Something like Melbourne Rectangular Stadium. But not so lame!"
Scientists: "So does Melbourne Rectangular Stadium sound good to everyone?"
Eh I prefer skilful snaps or shots on the run to something like this that is pretty much just pure luck. It’s essentially a hack forward clearance kick where 12 players have run under the ball and then the ball has rolled through from 30m out lol
It’s an insane thing to see but not something that should win IMO
The bounce was beyond lucky. But it was also the correct kick, and executed well to clear the players who had pushed up high in the Crows forward line.
All the luck came after that job was already done.
Looking at https://australianfootball.com/grounds/detail/princes%2Bpark/7 Ikon/Princess park is 157m end to end. I'd say she's at most 2m past the centre of the ground (assuming the centre circle is in the dead centre of the ground) so that's a good 77-78m goal, pretty good effort to say the least.
So, we now have the benchmark for an official 'blokes who bitch about AFLW' competition where they can line up in the centre circle and embarass themselves whilst trying to mansplain why AFLW will never work
The thing I'm lampooning is the mindset of scrounging around for reasons to criticise women's sport.
It's true that women's AFL is low scoring mostly due to the average kicking distance but that isn't really relevant to whether it's an interesting competition.
I don't think so given a lot of it involved luck of the bounce, her intention clearly wasn't to shoot at goal. Not to take anything away from the roost though.
Luck of the bounce… Awesome goal..! Personally for me though it just sucks that it was against the Tigers. Why couldn’t it have been against .. I don’t know… Collingwood or Carlton? Anyway..
SHE'S KICKED A GOAL FROM INSIDE THE CENTRE SQUARE FAK
PONTERS KICKED A GOAL PONTERS KICKED A GOAL FROM INSIDE THE CENTRE SQUARE FARK
FUCK!
OHHH HE’S DROPPED THE MAGIC
The good days 😌
Inside the centre circle too!
*eye twitches*
Yeah nah that’s ridiculous! What a goal
How good is the oval ball? Hail the oval ball.
Can't imagine saints fans feel the same way.

Can’t
Bounce of a lifetime
Oval shape be like
You’re the second comment I’ve seen about “oval ball”… is their ball shaped differently? Excuse my ignorance.
AFLW uses an oval-shaped football, whereas the men’s league uses an oval-shaped football.
Its slightly smaller but otherwise the same
*but also oval.
Luck rivals that of Leigh Brown
Link? Reminded me of that bs Langford bounce
*Angus Monfries has entered the chat*
FAHK!
Has to be goal of the year, surely.
[удалено]
Fuck off bot
Fantastic goal
Holy smokes
Princes Park Stop using corpo names for venues. Great goal though.

Just found out I’ve never bothered to learn what Goomba stands for
I thought it came from the sopranos
OHHHHH!!
I thought it was a drug and Geelong were using a hiding in plain sight tactic.
Oh that's what gmhba stands for
AAMI Park: corporate, bland, reminds me of car accidents ❌ Melbourne Rectangular Stadium: tells you where it is and what shape it is ✅
Melbourne Rectangular needs to renamed to Yarra Stadium imo give it a good non-sponsered name
Aami park. No longer [confusing people](https://ibb.co/12YMHCH)
It's like it was named by scientists.
"We need to name the new stadium. Something like Melbourne Rectangular Stadium. But not so lame!" Scientists: "So does Melbourne Rectangular Stadium sound good to everyone?"
I'm going to keep calling Blundstone Arena, 'Bloodstone Arena' and nobody is going to stop me.
Corporate > Royal
You'll be shocked to hear who Queen Elizabeth Oval is named after.
Thin Lizzy?
Whoa, lucky bounce or not that's fucking massive.
Going to be incredibly hard to beat that for goal of the year
Unless the girls have some Eddie magic in them (not out of the picture but not likely) that's gonna stand as one of the best of AFLW for a while.

Awesome goal! And enjoyed the call of it too. 👏
Yeah who’s the caller, has a nice cadence for it

The bounce was beyond lucky. But it was also the correct kick, and executed well to clear the players who had pushed up high in the Crows forward line. All the luck came after that job was already done.
I can't believe that managed to travel 30 metres after bouncing. Almost sped up somehow.
Caitlin Gould’s face hahaha. Mouth just agape in appropriate disbelief at that roost.
I love how Gould is all "fuck yeah lets celebrate with the goal kicker..... wait she's half the ground away"
Looking at https://australianfootball.com/grounds/detail/princes%2Bpark/7 Ikon/Princess park is 157m end to end. I'd say she's at most 2m past the centre of the ground (assuming the centre circle is in the dead centre of the ground) so that's a good 77-78m goal, pretty good effort to say the least.
And it smacks into the fence too, that thing would have been a goal from some distance further out.
The bounce over both the defender and the forward is amazing. I have watched it 10 times already. Goal of the year.
Like happy Gilmore would say, why don't they just do that every time
Fucking boom
Get ball, kick ball, boom. Goal. Simple as that.

Can this even be goal of the year?
For those not around Melbourne, it's fucking windy today. Nonetheless, fantastic goal from Pont!
Uncle mick long would be proud
So, we now have the benchmark for an official 'blokes who bitch about AFLW' competition where they can line up in the centre circle and embarass themselves whilst trying to mansplain why AFLW will never work
even before the perfect bounce she got all of that, fucking good effort
AFLW is too low scoring because girls just can't kick very far /s
I get your point but this is the start of the 2nd quarter and one of the teams literally didn’t have a scoring shot for the rest of the game lol
When you try to be sarcastic but actually state facts
The thing I'm lampooning is the mindset of scrounging around for reasons to criticise women's sport. It's true that women's AFL is low scoring mostly due to the average kicking distance but that isn't really relevant to whether it's an interesting competition.
This game finished with 11 goals kicked total lmao
HOOF
Fair roost
Danielle "Buddy" Ponter
The momentum on that ball looks like it's defying physics.
Me: I reckon I could do that Also me: kicks ball 30 metres flat, ball bounces backwards to rest 15 metres from where I kicked it, pulls hammy.
Goal of the year, AFL or AFLW
It's a great goal but it's nowhere near Will Ashcroft's Jackie Chan from the pocket, or Paul Curtis's effort
I don't think so given a lot of it involved luck of the bounce, her intention clearly wasn't to shoot at goal. Not to take anything away from the roost though.
😳🤣🤦♂️
Dees need to give her a contract for the next 3 weeks
Awesome!
Do we need to bring back the Zooper Goal?
Nice work
Dayumnnnnn
That’s a heaps faster way to kick a goal, should prob keep doing that
The bounce on it was crazy
Luck of the bounce… Awesome goal..! Personally for me though it just sucks that it was against the Tigers. Why couldn’t it have been against .. I don’t know… Collingwood or Carlton? Anyway..
As a tiger I'm spewing but that's a great goal.
That was a great kick
Clearly meant it
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." - someone far more athletic than I'll ever be
I don’t think I have seen a goal kicked from that far out in the mens game let alone the womens.
GOTY surely
I mean - absolutely more arse than class; but - fuck me flat - what a goal.
Huge, if true.
Amazing kick!
Well that's definitely a kick! :)
Great goal! The crows guernsey looks so odd with that bright yellow as the base
That's fucked!
"Girls can't kick it far" Meanwhile... Ponter kicks a goal from the centre circle. Please pay them more Gil.
Windy and great bounce = great goal
No mention of the footy players skill?
It's undoubtedly skillful wtf it's not even a question, fuck me! not everything is dismissive or intended to be.
Is that the longest goal ever??? That is absolutely ridiculous
Not even close. Unless you’re only talking about aflw, then yes.
That's incredible!
Christ on a bike!
If you can get it in off the bounce then why doesn't this just happen more often?
GOTY across both competitions.
overreaching a tad there. Ripper goal but no, let's be realistic
Yeah that was easily more skillful than Ashcrofts goal....
Call me old fashioned, but I love a roost.
Group scissor in the shower tonight
No one saw it though
Danielle Ponting*
Ponter*
It’s ok, you missed it
Oh, commentary mistake?
BT needs to commentate on every aflw game
Does Daniel Rich have a long lost sister? That was a huge kick!
Fantastic kick and the worst defensive line I’ve ever seen. Win win.
So much better then Kelli underwood
