    I reckon your right brendan. For me it was between Ricky or Walker. But I think we all know why Krakouer won it now, don't we??

    I don't like Walker's mark. Nice jump but it was one on one. It was almost like a schoolyard setup. I think Krakouer's was an ok choice.

    Agreed, a shocking decission. Krakouer's mark wasn't even in the top 3 if you ask me.

    Completely agree. Not even in the top 3 for mine, Nic Nat's, Walker's and Petterd's all better.

    These things are always debatable. I thought it was pretty good grab.

    You need to build a bridge to get over the filth's supposed fortune in these things. We're better than that cobber.

    Funny that. I've just been poking around twitter and came across a tweet by Marty Pask, retweeted by Damian Barrett saying that the AFL loving public voted Walkers as the best, but the AFL themselves overruled it. This disproves one of my reasons, but doesn't go much distance at all to disproving the others. Unfortunately the Filth do seem to have a bit of extra fortune with these sorts of things, just calling it as I see it.

    Well if that is true it's very disappointing but given the AFL's form of late, not surprising.

    Black and white@&$?!

    The thing is, he easily kicked goal of the year and didnt win that! For me Naitinui was a clear number one for mark of the year, got higher in a bigger pack of people

  • Quote

    For me, Naitinui, Petterd, even Watts against the bombers were more enjoyable grabs, along with Walkers.

    If Walker hadn't ended up with a chest mark and it was a fully outstretched grab above his head, it was his.

    Krakouer's mark is a beauty, but the thing about Walker's is the hang time. Staying up there is rally hard to do, and Walker was up there for a long time. for mine, Krakouer was about 5th or 6th.

    For what it's worth, Luke Darcy spoke about this on 'One Week at a Time' last night. He was one of the selectors of MOTY so his views are worth something. he explained that while it was a difficult decision, the key determinant that got Krakour's over the line was that it was a pack mark rather than one on one like Walker's.

    Do I agree? No. I'd have gone with Walker - but at least Darcy explained the reasoning.

  • Quote

    Krakours was underwhelming imo.

    Love to see it and Pettards side by side. Haven't seen Pettards for a while but from memory was more spectacular.

  • Quote

    Petterd's and Naitanui were pack marks and were both better than Krak's. So shove that argument Luke.

    Walkers was MOTY, everyone knows it, so who cares.

  • Quote

    absolute [censored] that he was awarded mark of the year.

    Being totally unbiased, Walker's speccie was one for the ages, was night and day ahead of any other this year, then came NICNATS, then daylight to Petterd, then even more daylight to Krakouer's.

    Walker was robbed. His would have to be one of the highest grabs to be ever taken. Such a clean jump, such a clean grab and he was up near the top of Eureka Tower to boot.

    Agree with the goal of the year though. Fantastic run and carry down the entire field from ballantyne.

    Walkers didn't do anything for me .

    Prefer the big pack marks myself and so coulda thrown a blanket over Kracks , Nik Nat and Petterds .

    Actually it's chosen by a panel. But luke darcy is on that panel so it might make sense as to why it so stupid

  • Quote

    The temptation for the AFL to go for the career redemption / good news story proved too hard to resist.

  • Quote

    Walker was a clear winner. Just about hit his head on the roof.

    NicNat second, just ahead of Petterd and Krakouer equal third.

    • 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.
