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."

Looked good on the big screen & on television!!!!

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 think you'll be able to vote here: http://www.afl.com.au/competitions/markgoal/index.html

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.

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.

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 ,

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
