Matthew Lloyd - Mark of the year

[kelvin_sheedy]

Well after he back heels a goal from the goal square and wins instead of a Motlop or Yze checkside from 50m out on the boundary there will be some outcry from me.

Well the back heel was goal of the year imho. Better than all the rest easily as it required quick thinking then skill to execute.

2001. Was runner up to Gary Moorcroft.

The RU mark was against Geelong in 2001.

He won in it 2002 with the mark on QB.

GL.

You have it backwards.
Came 2nd in 2001 with his mark on QB at MCG, Moorecroft.
Won it in 2003 against Geelong at TD .

Good mark but -2 because it is Lloyd.

 

[Z_K]

**** me, where did that come from? He couldn't run a few months ago.

Fair effort.

 

[mxett]

The footage on youtube is ordinary.

Just saw it on Ch 10. It's HUGE

Easily MOTY!

Rioli's was great, but only because of the opposition he faced, not the height or skill of the mark.

 

[Tigerfish]

Yeah, great grab. Afterwards it struck me how few of these big pack hangers are taken nowadays...

 

[sikmoe]

Extrodinary. Easily mark of the year.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

MOTY without a doubt; it was one of those ones you couldn't believe you'd seen, the scoreboard replay causing the crowd to roar all over again.

 

[Bay Pie]

MOTY so far for sure. Who knows what lies ahead for the next few weeks.

Where did that come from? He was treading water about a month or so ago?

Nuffy Walls had him retiring at years end. Love to see egg on that peanuts face.

 

[sikmoe]

LOL how can Rioli's mark even get close to Lloyds. no chance Rioli.

 

[d4vE]

the youtube video aint the best view of it

seen on chan 10 as well with the different angles

def mark of the year so far...

 

[ams4crows]

it was.... as bruce would say............... 'Oh what a mark..... SENSATIONAL!'

easily MOTY was awesome!

I was at the game. Didn't know Lloyd had it in him anymore. I'm not going to say it was *definitely* mark of the year but it is an A-grade contender and a memory that's going to stay with me for a long time.

 

[vinum coupe]

gee I had heard the wraps, I expected better.

 

[mantis]

No idea, but it was amazing, combined with his 8 goals, was a great Captain's game by Lloydy today.

 

[cfc4life]

wasnt that good

 

[d4vE]

LOL - was just on before the game..

wasnt that good?

you got to be kidding!!!!

 

[TwoBlueEyes]

Easily Mark of the Year! He stood on players' heads!!!

Rioli's was equal to that of Monfries last week so can't see it beating Lloyds. Pack mark, 5th in line... awesome!

 

[Mitchell Madness]

i saw it just then. great grab, but did anyone see his teammate infront of him? was almost a set play.

The teammate, ducked, giving lloyd a springboard for the mark.

 

[Bosley]

Burton's mark versus Melbourne was better. Seriously.

It annoys me how marks later in the season are remembered more.

Lloyd would have some nerve accepting the prize after incredulously winning goal of the year last season for a backheel from 2 metres out (something u see in under-10s soccer week in, week out).

He got a lucky lift today but it was a bit ... how do u say .... meh.

Still the monotone media darling will probably win it. Hell, Burton had 3 of the 4 finalists a few years ago and still got robbed.

 

[ManWithNoName]

MOTY easily. It was right in front of where we were standing and it was huge. Crowd went beserk.

Everything seems to happen right in front of where you are. Can I have your seats?
