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 ,

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
