Riewoldt should have been mark of the year

[FR0GGY]

Who else thinks Riewoldts mark against Sydney should have been mark of the year. Anyone can jump up on someones back (like sampi) but not everyone has the courage to take a mark running with the flight of the ball at full pace with no regard to saftey.
No disrespect to sampi, it was a good mark but thats all

 

[Karbassiyoon]

didak by a long way

 

[FR0GGY]

cant remember a didak mark (not saying it wasnt good)

 

[Karbassiyoon]

it was a ripping mark

 

[Popey]

great mark but sampis was best easy

 

[BB gun]

the only bloke ever going to get hurt in the Riewoldt contest was S milne, or L Barry.

 

[FR0GGY]

but sampis was best easy

can i ask how you come to that conclusion? cos i recon Riewoldts was harder to take, took more courage and looked more spectacular and was different to most marks

Yup - dime a dozen.


This has been done to death, get over it FFS.

no bias in your opinion?

The picture speaks for itself.

the only thing i disliked about sampi's mark was how casual he was. but it wasn't mark waugh casual, it was unenthused casual. perhaps a spectacular landing would have made it a true classic.

after all, 50% of the mark is coming back down.

 

[Gtrain]

My heart says Riewoldts but my brain says Sampis, going to have to go with my brain

 

[Karbassiyoon]

no bias in your opinion?

melbourne fans would say rivers
geelong fans would say bartel
eagle fans would say sampi
saints fans would say ree volt

 

[Popey]

bad choice of words mate, usually the most spectacular mark wins the mark of the year, and you wont see many more spectacular than sampis.

 

[FR0GGY]

crows fans? Cos i said Reiwoldt and i got no bias towards any players or teams ceppt crows

 

[BB gun]

fremantle fans would say anyone taking a mark in the forward line

He shouldn't lose points for landing perfectly and making it look easy.

He shouldn't lose points for landing perfectly and making it look easy.

but his attitude towards the mark was just so-so, unexcited, like it was any other mark

its mark of the year and has to be treated with some respect, especially by the guy who takes it

 

[FR0GGY]

go to www.altavista.com.au and type in "mark of the year" and search for images you will see the same type of mark (or as you would say a dime a dozen) as sampi's over and over again - they are common

 

[Milkman]

Sampi always looks unexcited.

WTF???


What is he meant to do after he takes it, run around like a headless chook and start hugging all his team mates?

 

[FR0GGY]

how old is sampi?

 

[Karbassiyoon]

no, in the post match interview, he could at least acknowledge what a good mark it was rather than play it down

if the player who takes the grab doesn't think its mark of the year, why should a panel tell him it is?

What a most peculiar way to judge a mark, how the person who took it, talks about it after the event.


PS - Sampi is 21 this year.
