I'd probally go with Farmers in 98 against richmond that was a great game

 

Robertson is our greatest marker of all time

Schwarz pre-knee was an absolute force in the air as well

Many of you may not have heard of him , but Greg Parke was an undersized and slow centre half forward for us who smoked at half time but was unstoppable in the air, and regularly won the competition's marking competition .


ROBBO easy he is UNCANNY!

i can think of about 10 marks which stand out. im pretty sure he holds a record for most nominations for mark of the year.

his mark against west coast in pre season in 2004 i think is one of the best ive seen from a relative small bloke.

My old man used to say that Jack Mueller was pretty good for a bloke with one-and-a-half hands.

I have heard many old time supporter of MFC and some who were not who have said Jack Mueller was freakish.

Joeboy has a fair call on Greg Parke. Very good. Gary Hardeman was outstanding.

People forget how good Robbie Flower was marking. Just brilliant.

Brian Wilson was consistently very very good for his size.

Farmer, Smith and Robbo provide the spectacular.

Schwartz was good pre knee and could have been peerless.

 

In the current side I'd have to say the best mark of a footy would be Rivers easily, he reads the flight of the ball better than anyone else and has exceptional hands.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
