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.

well arent we a blessed bunch. smith, farmer , the ox, robbo and now the JURRAHCAINE

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
