anyone else think his other mark was better?

I find it really hard to split the two. The Sydney one looked more spectacular, but I wonder whether the one against Port wasn't higher and a bit more difficult. Spectacular will usually win.

Just saw this clip of Howe's mark on Good Morning America... pretty funny.

If they knew the game any better they might have got a good old belly-laugh from the score in the top left corner too...

Spectacular didn't win it last year.

Jeremy #1 55%

Jeremy #2 22%

Niknat 22%

Must have secured Nik Nats AA selection.

Ironic when you think that Newton and Jurrah have provided our only "silverware" in recent times....

Lets hope Howe leaves a bigger impact on AFL than those two fly by nighters.

MOTY is overrated beyond a 5 second thrill. I am interested in what players do at ground level. Newton and Jurrah did not do enough to survive in AFL footy

I still haven't found anything saying he has won MOTY, anyone?

Bloody hell RR, it's a novelty award for a spectacular part of our game. I'm not sure who's overrating it, the sponsors aren't as I'm pretty sure 1st prize is about $2500 worth of fuel or something. It's a fun award that means bugger all in the scheme of things, but given that we aren't playing finals, our year was crud, and 1 of our players has 2 of the top 3 nominations, surely we can have a bit of fun with it?

If you don't like the MOTY, then I'm sure you won't waste your time voting, and further to that, won't waste cyber space of posting on this thread again.

Good day to you.

"Spectacular will usually win."

There are four words in that sentence. Can you spot the significant one ?

'Usually.'

Yeah!

Get stuffed 45!

You don't have a very good grasp of irony do you RR...

Howe was nominated 8 times during the season so I guess he's had at least 8 fly by nighters.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
