Jeff Fehring's goal which is the longest in AFL/VFL history

I think it was related to his farm going bankrupt.
Very sad.

McNamara's longest kick was 93 yards in 1923

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!!

Pretty sure he didnt play at Ormond but he was our first coach though.

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?

No it was started on its own. No merger or anything like that so i dont know what they mean by Ormond.

According to Leigh Matthews today, this is the best way to beat St Kilda's flood.
