Mate, you're dreaming... They were both similar marks as far as the pack situation goes, but when a closer to ground level replay of Jurrah's mark bobs up you will realise how friggin high he got, and that is what will put it above Goddard's mark.

Agree. The ground level shot on Fox looked awsome, but they didn't show the equivalent angle for Goddard's grab. Jurrah by a whisker for me.

I know we're all dismissing Newton as a Demon from next year, but remember his mark in 2007 at all?

I was at the game.

And Jurrah's is better.

Both marks were stupendous. Hard to separate them. Both would get 10/10 for style points. The difference I see IMO is that Goddard more or less rose effortlessly to grab the ball in more of a classic effort. Whilst Jurrah leapt up like a tiger with incredible forward motion from seemingly out of position. An amazing leap. And he kicked the goal too. Usually players who take these monster marks near goal usually fluff them. I would give it Jurrah narrowly but then again I'm biased.

Agree. I cant split them. I have a bias for Jurrah but would not be surprised or disappointed if Goddard got it.

After marking Jurrah did kick a goal. Newton did the same in 2007....Pity he has done little since. :mellow:

jurah was on watts shoulders! massive leap...watts is 196cm tall...from the footage i saw LJ didn't even touch watts or use his hands to assit in the ride...

if it doesn't get mark of the year it will probably go close to being in the top 10 marks of the decade. . .

HERALD sun poll showed 70% of voters went for Jurrah. Jurrah for mine too. Absolutely stupendous!!!

I like both, hard to separate.

A SEN poll this morning was running at 83% for Jurrah out of the two. They can't all be Melbourne supporters.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
