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

    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.

    • 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.
