Max King is in it. Hawkins doesn't finish high enough in contested marks each year, he hasn't got the spring of the others.
Levi Casboult has always had no problem clunking a big pack mark.

Having the most doesn't mean he's the best, there are all sorts of reasons why a player might be in a position to take more contested marks in a game.
Heeney reminds me of Ablett Snr with his marking. He has the same blonde locks and creativity with his jumps. Doesn't take as many speccies but he is certainly the best 185cm high flyer in the game right now.
Dunno how Hawkins doesn't make the list

Brennan Cox is a bloody good mark
Are you an idiot?
Max Gawn and Sean Darcy barely leave the ground either.
Your view of players and their deficiencies is really bizarre. I am actually surprised you did not put Dustin Martin's name in your poll.

Are you an idiot? Hawkins is the heaviest forward in the league and cannot jump and Gawn and Darcy are jumping ruckmen you fool.

Somewhat a repeating theme on Bigfooty.
Tigers fan starts thread on main board to create a circle jerk around a particular Tigers player.
Martin
Bolton
Balta
Lynch
Won't be long until we get one on Taranto.

Darcy and Gawn have never be known as 'jumping' ruckmen lol.
In fact, I can't think of another ruck who has perfected the art of grabbing the ball out of the ruck and kicking it like Gawn has. His timing is as good any in the games history. Doesn't even have to jump considering he stands 6ft'10 with considerable reach.
Barely leaves the ground when he takes contested marks.
At least Hawkins has a highlights package all to his own of high flying marks until his back went in 2012.
Hasn't prevented him from becoming one of the premier contested marks of his generation.

That is a quality thread
Noah Balta - Does he have the AFL's rarest skill set?
Noah Balta is a flag winning KPD that can pinch hit in the ruck, this year he has become an elite FWD/Ruck. Is there any player in the AFL that can play Ruck, KPD and KPF at an elite level?

I wonder if the OP ever gets tired of creating all these bignoting self-aggrandizing threads? I mean it's actually friggin' hilarious how transparent it is.
Same as me creating a thread saying 'who is the best goal assist player in the league currently'? We all know it's Hawkins, so the poll is completely premeditated, in its design to achieve its aim of 'Richmond player is the best' - rinse and repeat.
We all know Lynch had the most last season according to footywire, and in recent seasons it's basically been Gawn and Lynch...so what is the point of a thread like this, if not to just pump up yet another Richmond player - especially if you deign to disagree and pick Gawn, Naughton or 'Other' as the poll suggests.
It's become like the child yelling out to mummy at the pool 'hey watch me, pay attention to me, look at me, I'm gonna do a cannonball, HEY watch me, watch me, watch me, LOVE ME!'
Seriously, it's enough with these threads, Richmond, Geelong or otherwise, it belongs on your own board. Main board is a cesspool these days because of threads like this.
Seriously, the people who do this, stop trying to create discord and stop searching for recognition all the time - it really has just gotten oh so sad and oh so predictable.

Doesn’t run and jump much and hasn’t for a while.
He’s still probably comfortably the best one on one contested mark but he’s not as good overall as Lynch, Gawn etc.
Pound for pound I would have said Danger was our best for a while, he’s not noted for his ‘natural’ footballing skill danger but rather his run and physicality etc but he has an amazing sense of timing with his marking. His hands aren’t as good as they used to be.
And yes Max King is outstanding

FFS! Send this thread to the Tigers board. You’ve got a tawdry history of creating threads on the main board, who’s sole purpose is to start a wankfest amongst Richmond supporters about how fantastic some average Tiger player is.
