Three finalists for mark of the year are Nik Nat against North, Schultz against us and Jamie Elliot against Port. Since when is a chest mark better than out in front with the dukes.

    I've just watched (again) Howe's grabs for this year and is a bit stiff. Based on that Ablett shouldn't win any more awards because he does it every week.

    That Schultz mark deserves to win... an absolute screamer.

    What round was Howes?

    Those three marks are all good. I'd have had Howe in there instead of Naitanui, but the context of Naitanui's mark adds to its greatness. Schulz's the best for mine.

    As for the goals, wow, all three of those goals are amazing. I'd go with Franklin's for it being more of a team thing, but Walker's run (with great support from Garlett) and Ablett's freakishness are great too.

    I'm having trouble watching then in my phone, was it round 3 against the eagles he ran back with the flight? Surely there are 3 better marks than Nik Nats. Even his round 23 mark against the doggies.

    Just found the link, yep round 3 against WCE.

    I'd have it in the top 3 just because he was running back and taken out Elliots

    Wow, that's absolutely mark of the year for mine.

    I just don't understand how that's not better than NN's. He's not even jumped!

    Elliot's was the best. A old school mark

    Natanui's mark is replicated every single week

    Howe was stiff not to get in for degree of difficulty

    Howey's mark against West Coast where he was running back with the flight should've at least made the final cut ahead of Elliott's.

    Of those three, definitely Schultz's against us. He got up very, very high.

    I stand corrected, Nik Nat wasn't a chest mark but still thought Howe's was better. With regards to the three finalists I'm actually going the other way. Elliot's for me, small bloke up high, nice sit, reasonable hang time, takes it out in front.

    Elliot's mark will be a deserving winner.

    Who really cares anyway... he isn't getting robbed as badly as Walker did in 2011. One of the best marks of all time and they couldn't even name it the mark of the year because Krakouer was a 'feel good story'.

    Where's Motlop's mark. That was huge.

    Also Schultz's mark should win. It was in the third row of the crowd FFS.

    Shultz for me, although I think it was over the line! NikNats was put in the A) because of the context and B) the AFL is in love with him. But should definitely go to the best mark full stop.

    Abletts go is nothing short of incredible, it gets my vote.

    To me it is a no contest Howes mark against West Coast is just amazing. The degree of difficulty is a 9.8. Have we ever seen anyone running with the flight of the ball jump as high over a 6.3 ft player to take a screamer. I can't remember one like tha but yes Elliot's is spectacular but a 6.8. Shultz mark is spectacular but really look at the camera angles it was so far over the line it was a joke.

    But it is all about how spectacular it looks not about degree of difficulty.

  • Quote

    Given that Schultz took his mark over the goal line I would put it head to head with Howey's over the boundry line grab.

    nic nats mark was good but no top 3. Elliots mark was good, but i dont think he got up as high as the camera work makes it look. Schulz was very good and was prob better than howes marks this year. I do feel like he has been robbed though, gets one nearly every week, these guys take one or two for the season and pip him. bit rough, awel, next year...

    Honestly, I though Howe was down on last year in all areas. While he did take some screamers, I'm not bothered by him not making the final three.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
