Walkers mark was amazing. It was like a basketball dunk where someone just absolutely destroys the direct opponent.

    I seem to be alone (or close to it) in thinking Walker's mark should not win MOTY.

    Sure it was a great mark, but people talking about "best in 40 years"..? It was a chest mark! That ruins it for me.

    You are not alone. Ricky was above the head of 22 for the Dogs who himself was off the ground. that puts him higher than Walker for a start. He was well above Gilbee who had jumped. He got up there on his own not on the blokes shoulders like Walker. If you look at Tapscott if Ricky was on his shoulders that would be equal to Walker's mark but he was a mile above him. IMO Ricky's was far superior as he was higher with more opposition and got there himself.

    Not better than Petterd's? Honestly, people are being a little delusional.

    This is like a primary school argument about the best hanger .Love it .

    Steve Smith's was the best I ever saw for pure height.

    Capper was the most consistent .

    He dropped what looked like a simple mark in the goal square towards the end of the 1st QTR today.

    If only it had of stuck in the last few seconds against the pies last year. BOo Hoo.

    Good player, and i think he will improve when the team starts winning more games.

    I reckon Walker's is overated. One on one marks don't have the same appeal to me as the ones where a guy climbs over a pack.

    FANTASTIC smother.

    It was an amazing smoother! He does some really great team things, can let himself down with kicking and decision making but always has a crack.

    Cringe.

    I think his brother Shaun was better.

    Not better than Petterd's? Honestly, people are being a little delusional.

    Great memories of Sean Wight there....

    Exactly what I thought at the time, and commented to my wife. A replica of what we saw so often from Sean.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
