Opinion What is your favourite mark of all time?

[MrDanggazz]

What is your favourite mark of all time? This thread is NOT for discussion of the best mark of all time, just a place for people to share their favourites.

I’ll start it off with my absolute favourite, due to the crowd atmosphere and the finish.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

That Michael Mitchell one but did it actually get paid ??

Biased but also loved Andrew Walkers for the symmetry of it all.

The Shaun Smith one in Brisbane was pretty damn good. Riewoldt's is a good nom too.

The Dom Sheed mark late in the 2018 GF was a good grab.

I think it was paid? So it stands.

Who cares that is a bloody beauty never seen that mark before thanks for sharing.

He literally walks up his back and gets higher

Has to be Moorcroft.

This one. He ran from pretty much where the ball was kicked:

Gary Moorcroft over Brad Johnson

In terms of difficulty I mark the Moorcroft mark down a little bit because it was a dinky little up and under kick from Lucas and sort of sat up for him. It's why you had such great marks through the 50's and 60's as they used drop-kicks which spun and sort of hung in the air

Moorcrofts was very spectacular though (he was horizontal !!) but I reckon some of the others more difficult.


(......and now wait for the castigation from Bombers fans ).

Lappins mark next to the point post

Didak over Welsh ANZAC day 2004.

BT going off like a frog in a sock.

 

[VolgaBoatman]

Here are 3 that I remember from going to the game.

• Michael Mitchell Mark as above - I was sitting in the crowd at Subiaco for that match as a young Claremont supporter - 1985 I think it was.
• Luke McPharlin 2005 - Western Derby end of the first half - Freo home game - crowd went nuts I think.
• Just Longmuir 2005 - vs St Kilda

Godra!

 

[Blues177]

The Jesaulenko mark in the 1970 grand final is well known and he also took this ripper in the same season at Princes Park.

 

[Power Raid]

is this courage, skill or reckless?



which ever................it's my favourite

If Michael Mitchell took this mark in the VFL/AFL instead of the WAFL, it would be remembered as the greatest mark ever

I'm a massive fan of this one too
