I thought it was good to post it after Bradshaw's bomb in the Brisbane game.

It was very good, I have shown it to my son (18) and he now realises I am not senile when I describe Saints of the past

Was there that day and collapsed when he kicked it and spent the rest of the last quarter in the St John's Room at Moorabbin. I was only a little kid. :oops:

RIP Jeff Fehring

If I remember correctly he had been reported for belting one of the filth just before the bounce that got him the free

You do remember correctly and he took it out on that ball.

I do believe Dave McNamara's kick of 94.5 metres at the Junction Oval against South in 1907 is the longest kick recorded.

I was in the CS and sitting in the middle of the goals and the ball just kept on coming and coming and coming, GOAL.

McNamara's longest kick was 93 yards in 1923

McNamara's 90 yard kicks were all place kicks. :shock:

My info is as I posted above and I find it hard to believe his longest kick would be in his last year at the age of 36.

Amazing but TRUE.
And that was after he broke his leg in 1921.

The guy was still playing for Ormond at 45!!

There if no doubt he was a freak. I've seen his grave at Brighton Cemetery.
Good that he was around for our premiership.

He played at Ormond from 1924 till 1932.

That would be tough as Ormond didnt start till 1932.

In that case what did he do from 1923 till 1932?

I know he was involved in horse racing. The Brighton Cemetery and a couple of other websites say he played for and was playing coach of Ormond during that period.

Was there a precursor to the Ormond VAFA club?

Jeff Fehring is no longer with us, is that right?


In honour of those who went before, in the dark and desperate years.

Correct, sadly committed suicide last year (or 2008?). I remember there was some minor controversy over the Saints not recognising his passing, where Geelong players wore black armbands. Sad.
