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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
