FLASH'S HANGER

From where I sat, Aaron's big grab over Richo looked pretty spectacular, and , I thought, a contender for "mark of the year".

Unfortunately, it seems the photographers didn't capture it well, since there's nothing in the "AGE", and a small, ordinary shot in the "H-Sun".

I hope this doesn't count against his chances of the prize.

It was great, too, that he kicked accurately for an important goal, since often players miss after a "speccy."

    Well Richo is 6'5 or there abouts and he gets on his shouklder with no help from his hands, it's a massive leap.

    The problem for Davey is that Mark of the Week winner is decided by the public voting.

    As been discussed here before, players from teams like Collingwood and Essendon seem to get over the line even if their mark/goal is inferior.

    I was at Friday nights game, and Lloyds grab was awesome, as was Daveys. Which was better is debatable to me. The fact that Davey jumped onto Richo probably has him in front, but I reckon Lloyd will win the weekly nomination due to the number of votes he will get from the Essendon supporters.

    I saw Lloyd's mark on TV, and Davey's at the game. I thought Davey's was more exciting - quite similar, but Davey's leap was better.

    I agree that Lloyd will win, though.

    Where can we vote??

    I loved Shane Tuck's smash into the umpy. The guys behind me were crying bloody murder all night about that umpy, foul mouth Tigers supporters.

    Some abusive tool behind me was carrying on about him all night, even when the Tiger were 38 points up. I almost felt embarrassed for him.

    McLean might actually be the one to get in trouble for this - as he pushed Tuck into the umpire.

    As for Flash's mark - nowhere near Mark of the Year because when he actually marked it, he was hardly off the ground at all!

    Quite right, it was a great leap, but he actually took the mark on the way down, whereas Lloyd was still on young Wilkes back when he grabbed his speccy.

    I thought it looked really good live.

    Was a nice mark from Flash.

    Obviously not Mark of the Year, but it was great. He only gets up once in a blue moon.

    Yeh it was a great mark.

    I hope he can take another big speccie this week against the Swans!

    Although I'd rather he kicked a bag of goals and win us the game! ;)

    I can't believe it hasn't got more air-play!

    Richo is enormous, and Davey is TINY. I thought it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in footy.

    Everyone get on afl.com and vote for aaron davey for mark of the round.

    was a nice grap, not mark of the year but it would be nice to see him in contention with Robbo and u can see the footage again on the site

    Also vote for dunn for the afl army award, look at this footage some good work by dunn ,

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
