Jumping Jack Clennett 1,825 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 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."
Rogue 585 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 It was huge - put Lloyd's mark on Saturday night to shame
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 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.

Ash35 425 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 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. heartbeatstrue said: Where can we vote?? I think you'll be able to vote here: http://www.afl.com.au/competitions/markgoal/index.html
AzzKikA 2,371 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 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.
mikeod 21 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 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.

Yze_Magic 3 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 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.
Supreme_Demon 4,144 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 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!
Dappa Dan 2,188 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 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.
DaveyJones'sLocker 647 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 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 ,
