    Winner is done at All-Australian night IIRC.

    They have to have the voting though first...

    Wonder if it will be leaked beforehand on the AFL website like the rising star.

    Watch Nic Nat win it.

    Noooooooooo! I couldn't stand it!. One can only imagine the smug, sycophantic post from RR. Something like:

    Oh oh! or

    Woops! or

    A better mark than Jezza (and twice as attractive) - and we opted for a spud who couldn't catch a cold

    Howe 1 was the best.....

  • Quote

    Howe option 1.

    I will not be at all surprised if NN wins it though. Great grab but I'm being cynical.

  • Quote

    Howe's biggest risk is if his votes get split between option 1 and 2

    seems posters prefer opt 1 therefore best if everyone sticks to opt 1 even if unsure between 1 & 2

  • Quote

    Let's hope that Howe doesn't steal votes from himself. Go with option 1!

    and all the niknat cheerleaders here don't vote for him to prove a point. eh rangey :wacko:

  • Quote

    he should get it - I did think though, that nicnacs one handed mark in the goal square in one of the later games was one of the marks of the year, yet is not the one they are going with, strange.

    yeah i'm pretty sure i've seen better marks from NN than the one they picked

    I voted for mark number 2 for three reasons:

    1 He was so high the ball was out of frame in two of the three camera angles

    2 He was on top of Martin who is 6 cms taller than Grundy from mark #1

    3 He catches the ball with arms fully stretched

    IMO it's a better mark

    Actually thought that Rioli's mark early in the year (against the filth?, over Shaw?) would be the only threat to Howe's mark against the swans.

  • Quote

    I know the mark and goal of the year aren't all that signigicant, but this is a highly flawed voting system.

    If it were a 50/50 decision, the Melbourne player wouldn't have a hope against a highly supported club like West Coast. Newton's mark in 2007, wasn't even nominated in his week becasuse he lost to a West Coast player taking a diving mark in the goal square.

    Howe has taken the two stand out marks of the year and will probably win, but vote splitting could cost him.

    Nothing would surprise me after a season like this......FFS vote Howe 1!

    I thought Maynes mark was as good as the R17 one if not better

    They may aswell save themselves some time counting votes and give it to Howe!

    I thought I had stumbled upon a pro-Neeld topic.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
