One of the most anticipated events on the morning of the AFL Grand Final is Fox Footy’s Longest Kick competition.
First run in 2015, North Melbourne great Drew Petrie outkicked the likes of Travis Cloke, Taylor Walker and 400-game champion Dustin Fletcher to take out the maiden trophy.
The competition’s longest-ever kick to date came one year later from the boot of former Blue and Crow Bryce Gibbs, launching a 72.3 metre missile into orbit.

From the game’s biggest superstars like Charlie Curnow, to retired larrikin Brendan Fevola, to amateur footballers with a cannon for a kick – the event has had everything in its eight renditions to date.
But where is it in 2024?
Unfortunately, construction on the Yarra river begun in late April this year, and is not projected to be complete until the end of 2024.
Subsequently, the ‘Greenline Project’ event has left this year’s competition unable to take place – with Fox Footy’s coverage of the event beginning at 9am!
