Nope, it isn't. Had he taken it above the eyes I would have had it above Allison's though, as Allison didn't get the height (wasn't on the shoulders, just on the back).

I personally didn't think it was that special - chest marks are easy 
but srsly didn't think it was or should be MOTY

As an athletic feat I think it is probably the best we will see this year, and quite possibly for a very long time. To leap that high off three steps is just incredible. It requires the perfect timing, situation and execution. Sure it was a chest mark but had he not gotten so high it would of been an above the head mark that wasn't nearly as impressive

Both knees on the blokes shoulders, over one guy not a pack. Anyone saying Nic Nat's was better is kidding themselves. Unbelieveable mark.

Yes it is and I very much doubt anyone else will get close. To appreciate how good it was, watching time and again on replays was how even bomber supporters rose as one to acknowledge it...

I've always loved Disco Roach's mark and it was taken over a pack running at pace and was also taken on the chest but for me this one of Walker is better.
Very short run up, one on one so it was easier to watch, extra elevation as he straightens his legs and the incredible amount of hangtime.
It doesn't top Michael Mitchell in the WAFL for mine but it's one of the next best. That hangtime is what makes it so good IMO.
Reminded me a bit of a lineout in rugby when team mates will boost a player up and hold him there in position.
Every single fan there last night was witness to MOTY and the smiles around the ground from fans of both sides told the story. Everyone enjoyed it.
At this point I rank the M'sOTY this way:
1. Walker last night
2. NicNat v Blues
3. Hocking v Richmond (I notice that has rarely been mentioned - a Youtube link for it for others to comment on would be handy).
4. Krakouer
5. Petterd

Preferred Naitanui's. Walker's was ok but the camera angle made it better than it seemed to be
Didnt looks that special on tv but the front-on angle in the replay showed how good it really was with knees on both shoulders.
He "only" took a chest mark....hope he doesnt get marked down for that.

Exactly. Was expecting much more given the hype.
Nic Nat for mine is easily a better and more spectacular mark.
bullshit it did. If anything the TV didn't do it justice.

Or anyone who says Nic Nat's isnt MOTY is playing the racism game.....

I agree Deenamite, dissenting views from my own are always marked down for stupidity too.

It looked way better at the ground than on TV. The photo on the back page of the HUN is impressive.
Been lucky enough to see three amazing marks live; Walker, NicNat and Burton.

Some time before 5.30pm West Australian time this afternoon Prem?
