Whether it is the best mark ever taken is arguable. What is not in question is how incredible the photo is. Perhaps only the photo of Shai Bolton's mark earlier this year is better.

Surely the photo of the Sean Smith mark is the greatest. Heightened by the fact in the footage you see the flash go off in the crowd at the perfect moment.

 

Almost flattened Marty Hore, he did!

and I’m not just talking about that epic flat top

Genuine question coming up.

 You’re so negative about the club in all your posts, it wasn’t a surprise that you’re also negative about the types of posts that show up in the forum. 

which begs the question (s)

Why on earth do you keep logging in to Demonland?

are you a masochist?

are  you hyper vigilant about anything that upsets you AND compelled to always comment?

do you interact with the general public in the same way?

Agree with this for a couple of other posters who continuously pot the same players, coaches and the club generally. I wonder why they follow a club that they feel regularly lets them down. Surely life is too short and if people start to develop a resentment to the club the follow, find another sport? 

If footy no longer gives you pleasure regularly, why continue to follow?

I hate Gary Moorcroft. So flat when he came to us. The only goal he kicked was a mung from a free kick that he played for.

Isn't that a frame taken from the TV recording? I seem to recall that there was no professional photo taken at the time and that the person with the camera that flashed was sought out for her (his?) photo. If that amateur, well-timed photo was ever published, I've never seen it.

Yes it was published, days later. 
from a cheap camera. I had it on the wall for years

The girl nailed it

I know!

Surely new threads are only allowed to be about how we are pretenders, at what point we should panic, and how we can’t be trusted.


There was one bloke I would have been more cheesed off at coming to our club than Moorcroft and that was Boris Bewick. My lord those two blokes s***ted me.

Moorcroft did exactly what I thought he would when he came from Essendon: stuff all. He was a role player at Essendon, and why we got him is still mystifying to me. It's up there with getting David Rodan and Shagger Byrnes in during 2013 as far as melon scratchers go.

The bloke got the shot at the perfect moment. They had him on the footy show to talk about it back when it was watchable.

Today's photographers with their technology take pictures like machine guns, they just keep firing but that bloke just mailed it.

Incredible mark. Seriously mental when it happened. Other classic high flying marks like Shaun Smiths have been taken more out in front or on the chest. Moorcrofts mark was at full extension overhead from a great leap. It’s probably the best mark ever for that reason. 

 

Without actually doing the research I dont reckon that Moorcrofts mark was in the best 10 I have seen.

 

Smith, Sampi, Bolton, both Riewlodts, Tarrants even the wizz mark was better. Its just well known because it was Essendon at their zenith and Bruce carrying on like Dennis Commetti had  just given birth unexpectedly in the commentary box.

And Moorcroft himself was an extremely overrated plodder in reality.

It was a mistake getting Moorcroft but that's ok. From memory it was totally Neale's call and he took the punt. 

Good mark though.

Was an outstanding Jr Footballer.
Very limited Senior Footballer.
Role player in an excellent team.
Exposed in an average team.

Talent-wise, was probably on par either ANB.

Eddie: Talk to us about the photo you took. 
Photographer: I picked up my camera, hit the button and took a photo. 
Eddie: Fabulous. We’ll be back after this break. 

I can’t imagine there would have been much more to it than this.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
