Andrew Krakouer wins MOTY

[Thrawn]

I didn't say anything about Carlton, just their fans

Walker's was a great grab, so was Krak's. If it hurts you so much that Walker didn't win MOTY then you care too much about an erroneous meaningless award.

TLDR; get over it!

I care enough because it should be officially recognised. It's one of the best marks of all time... and I say this as a football fan in general. Would say the same thing if any other player from an opposing team took a good a mark as that!

 

[Igloo]

Yes it is... majority rules...minority whinges

Poor form Collingwood supporters. Just because you breed like rabbits, doesn't mean you have to be biased in your MOTY nominations!

Poor Walker.

 

[recon]

This just isn't about Carlton, it's a disgrace to football.

Yeah like Steven Silvagni being named fullback in the Team of the Century.

 

[Terex8]

A consolation win for Collingwood supporters which somewhat makes up for C Judds brownlow victory over Swan last year.

I think the Premiership made up for that to a degree.

 

[HurleyTheFuture]

wow thats bad walkers was the best and if not him nic nats or petterds and GOTY should of been Fyfe

 

[Keele]

No it isn't. Don't turn it into a 'woe is me' Collingwood angle either.

Well I was asked to cast my vote on twitter.

Krak was eligible for both

 

[beez]

This could be the biggest issue of the year given the amount of responses already.

 

[17beams]

Walkers was 100x better!

I know I'll get slaughtered for this, but I honestly think Krakouer's was better. Sure walkers was a great mark, but I don't think the fact that Krak's was in a pack gets enough notice.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

the facebook afl page (yes i no stupid souce) said walker and betts won it

krak mark was great though

Patrick Keane the AFL communications person announced it as Krak/Ballas

 

[vWestCoast]

Only positive out of this is Carlton supporters will be furious.

I though Naitanui's was the best but i'm biased.

Wow just wow Krakouer really?!?!?

Wojack was robbed

 

[HyperAgressiveDonk]

Yeah I was sure Krakouer would win it. Happy he did, definitely deserved it.

And lol at posters saying, but what about the guy from my team Who really cares who wins mark or goal of the year.

 

[KissStephanie]

BS... Walker got robbed.

Carlton robbed twice within three says? I wasn't surprised by this. Andy Krakouer's pack mark taken in the hands with extended arms was a better mark than Andrew Walker's chest mark that was taken over a single opponent. Height was similar too.

If Krakouer sounded embarrassed, then that says enough.

You're reading too much into it. He didn't sound embarrassed to me. He's just a fairly quiet bloke. I'm sure fair minded people acknowledge a great screamer instead of whinge about it.

 

[Rob]

Hideous, hideous choice.

 

[Athomas]

Ridiculous.... must find out who decided this.

 

[Spectore]

Walker's, Petterd's and Naitanui's were all comfortably better.

 

[wce1989]

Naitanui was robbed!!! RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!

 

[Warsaw]

Walkers mark made news all over the world. Ergo MOTY.


And it was ****ing awesome.

 

[HARKER]

.You're reading too much into it. He didn't sound embarrassed to me. He's just a fairly quiet bloke. I'm sure fair minded people acknowledge a great screamer instead of whinge about it.

Then you would have heard him say, "I thought it was Walker's"

 

[juzz_e]

Yeah, guess Collingwood supporters voted a lot more than anyone else.

Take off you're glasses and realize Walkers was wayyyy better!

 

[WCErevival]

It was definitely public voted. There was a thread on our board saying to vote for Naitanui.

 

[alex 17]

I hadn't even seen Krakour's prior to this and it was as good as Walker's because it was a pack mark. Degree of difficulty as high as Walker's. Both deserved winners anyway.

Kleenex proud supporters of Carlton fans since 1877

Nah pretty sure they sponsor Collingwood. Needed a lot of tissues after Juddy won the brownlow last year. Oh and the 23 grand final losses.
