HOWE snubbed for mark of the year.

[deanox 9,945]

Howe's mark was better than those 3 imo. Running back with the flight for a speccy where he gets hang time as good as any of the others is simply unbelievable. To be honest I can't recall a mark like it ever.

Elliot's was good but for that type of mark the are better. The payee collapses under him so hang time is short and he isn't high when he takes it. Schultz is good, best hang time, but chest mark. NN is a good strong Mark and amazing that he takes it over the back of the pack but I really didn't think it was as impressive as Howe back with the flight. For me Howe is the best followed by Schultz then NN.

The goals is a great competition. Ablett's is the classic impossible snap. No one should be able to do that, yet he meant it. That is contrasted with the other two which are the long running goal. Walker's was better than Franklin's, 4 bounces is awesome. Franklin's was amazingly long but it bounced through and it that respect is quite lucky.

I hope Buddy doesn't win by weight of popular vote and hype. Ablett will probably win for unbelievable factor and also because I think the other two will suck votes off each other.

What about Howe V West Coast, Mark of the Year IMO

[gsmith12 491]

For Howie not to be nominated for the final 3 in this competition is surely a travesty.

One of our few on field highlights for the season were his huge grabs, two in particular.

Schulz and Elliott fair enough, however Jeremy had 2 grabs that were clearly superior to the Naitanui nomination.

Typical of the AFL AA panel and smacks of bias.

They have an extraordinary amount of love for Naitanui as evidenced by his inclusion in last year's AA team.

Not even nominated, but I would have gone with Luke Hodge for GOTY for his smother of a kick which he then converted into a long goal without breaking stride. Hard to know which it replaces - perhaps Walker?

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.

Snubbed ?

Not in my opinion , Howe will eventually take something really memorable

Some of the greatest marks i have seen were chest marks

Westhoff's goal needs to be added on to the GOTY list. Not only was it freakish but it almost sparked the Power (no pun intended) to come back at the cats.
