how the hell did krakouer win mark of the year walker was the best mark taken even ricky petterds mark was better than krakouers

thoughts????

 

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.

I'll need you to enlighten me mate.


Collingwood player, fairytale comeback, public vote with the biggest supported club in the league. Need I go on?

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

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.

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.


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.

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.

Vlad giveth and Vlad taketh away.

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 .

Collingwood player, fairytale comeback, public vote with the biggest supported club in the league. Need I go on?

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


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

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

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

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
