mark of the year

[ioppolo]

Well it beats Nic Nats & Krakouer's, so MOTY for me too.

 

[windyhill]

That's because it has nothing to do with the mark. He could have taken it on a half back flank and stuffed up the kick... doesn't matter.

disagree, clunk it, go back and kick it, it`s called the cream on the cake thrawny.

 

[Thrawn]

It was much better live, had a nice view of it. A pity the commentators weren't more excited.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

What an awsome year for screamers and so many marks left.

 

[Thrawn]

The cream isn't exactly the cake itself, however. This is MOTY, not MOTYAKAG.

bloody ripper, genuine hanger, sat on a tall man's shoulders with hardly no run up. What makes it better is that he slotted a goal straight after it.

This is Aussie Rules right here.

My top 10 over the past 5 years:

1. Burton - 2009 (MOTY)
2. Edwards - 2007
3. Walker - 2011
4. Lloyd - 2008 (MOTY)
5. Goddard (GF) - 2010
6. Jurrah - 2010 (MOTY)
7. Naitanui - 2011
8. Ottens - 2006 (MOTY)
9. Petterd - 2011
10. Newton - 2007 (MOTY)

Goddard's mark from last year is one not mentioned (not the GF mark). Attacking the pack at full speed and held it. Brilliant.

Saw it live and thought it was the best mark since Moorecroft. However have just watched the video of it and I was a little underwelmed... Still good though

 

[PP34]

Awesome mark. I always expect him to take a hanger each game because he's always looking to take a hanger everytime a marking contest is near him.

 

[Bomber32]

Yeah, certainly much, much better live. I can understand why people might not rate it as highly if they watched it only on YouTube.

Brilliant mark, surpasses Brett Burton's screamer in 2009 against Carlton as the best I've ever seen live

 

[hoddo22]

Was directly above it on the fourth level. Could see it coming. Didn't expect it to be as good as that though. Massive leap of just a handful of steps. Got that ever important second ride just before the ball got there.

 

[Jesus Baulks]

Every screamer is better live. There's no need to continually point that fact out to try and make up for how underwhelming the mark is upon replay.

Good mark no doubt, but not even remotely close to living up to some of the hyperbole on offer in this thread.

 

[Geelong Fella]

Lighten up it was a beauty, still reckon Farmer's was better in 1998 against Richmond and I always liked Tarrants in 2001 that clearly should have been MOTY much better than Moorcroft's

 

[Jesus Baulks]

it was a beauty

Yeah but it was better live.

This. The other three would be better live as well. I'd even rate each of the other three higher simply because they were NOT chest marks.

Krakouer deserves it.

 

[FevolasFox]

nic nats mark against the blues was very very very very good, this I would say was marginally better.

That said, if nic nat won, I wouldn't say it was a rough call.

Two of the great marks of footy.

for me, Walker, Goddard GF1, nic nat v the blues, best three marks in the last 12 months.

[Strapping Young Lad]

Nic Nats is still the better mark for mine.

 

[Woodson]

Amazing ride & sit over Jake 'Jerker' Carlisle by Walker.

Unless Carlisle can kick a huge winning goal after the siren ala Blight 1976
he'll be remembered for being Walkers stepladder.

Thanx to Benders for posting up all four contenders. Rip snorters all of them.
Each marvellous in their own right.

Also special mention to the Swans young fella Reid, who took a hanger also this weekend.

 

[Silvagnis]

Walker's hanger over Sauce, Hampson and Warnock was better than Krakouer's.

Thank God he bettered that mark.

Krakouer's isn't a mark of the year like Moorcroft's small man effort.

 

[Benno_900]

Judging by the Essendon fans' reactions, that mark would have looked amazing live.

 

[Eth]

Is it just me, or is Krakouer's not that impressive, compared to the others? He doesn't have the height or the hangtime that the other three do.

At the moment, I'd have Walker first, Naitanui and Petterd tied second, with Krakouer behind them.

But look at the elevation, especially from that side angle. It's all leap. Reminiscent slightly of Jeff Farmer circa 1998.

I would have to go Walker, followed by Naitanui, then Krakouer and lastly Petterd.

Also any takers for Jarrad Grant?

 

[Public Enemy No1]

Great mark.

Walker:

Hard to split them.

Each time I lean one way, I then go the other.

Walks jumped higher, and had more hang time, but Naita crashed a pack and took it higher, arms outstretched.

Both worthy contenders.

Flip a coin?
