    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
