    Bit freaky for Charlie.

    Very good mark but I'm surprised it made the short list of 3

    ANB's reaction is awesome

    He is always first on hand for every celebration and always lights it up. Post-football he'll be a gorillagram.

    Easily Georgiades but I'll vote for Charlie, as will my father, two sisters, brother and two pet dogs 😆

    Joe Daniher will win with another chest mark, this time on his own.

    If you really like Mark of the year as a contestthis won't win. Because you will vote for the best mark and not one just because it has a Melbourne player.

    Great effort though.

    This year we’re in with a shot since Charlie is up against players from clubs that don’t have a bazillion fans voting. Think, Daniher 2017. That said though, Greene will probs take it out.

    Spargiepants mark easily the best on account of him running sideways to the ball’s trajectory and using the sit to stabilise himself for the grab with the body twist. Greene’s and Georgiades were both front on classic elevated presentations. Charlie’s degree of difficulty higher. Science, people.

    If it wasn’t for that technicality of having to actually mark the ball Kozzi would have all 3 nominations

    Didn't the AFL change how MOTY and GOTY are decided when Howe was denied the win by the weight of numbers of fans voting for others.

    I thought the decision was taken 'in-house' by the AFL so this voting by fans could be a 'mock' vote to keep it in the news. 

     

    Edit:  Just found this:  "At the end of all Competition Rounds the AFL Game Analysis Committee will select the best three marks from a selection of 28 (the 23 round winners, along with 5 other contenders as determined by the AFL Media). The best three will be based on a 5/4/3/2/1 vote given by each member of the selection committee".  https://www.afl.com.au/mark-of-the-year/prizes

    It doesn't say where fan voting fits in.  It doesn't say who is on the selection committee that does the 5/4/3/2/1 voting or how many.

     

    All the technicalities aside, fantastic that Spargo is in the final three!  Very courageous going with the flight of the ball and no idea who was coming the other way.  Deserves extra points from the voters for that.

    ...and just after the half-time siren sounds.

    It was a very very good mark. As seems to be Charlie's way, he appears very nonchalant as he went back which I think, dulls the experience for the person choosing to vote.

    Agreed. 

    I reckon the OTT commentators may get Draper GOTY because it sounded so exciting.  But Nic Nat has done that dozens of times so Draper's goal isn't really so special.  Just the noise is a few levels higher.

    Bit disappointed one of Kozzie's miracle goals in Alice didn't make the final 3.  Or his match winning, top 2 ladder position setting, goal vs Carlton with 10 seconds to go while being tackled.  Right up there for a crazy, match winning goal in a clutch moment.

    So, I’ve wasted precious time voting for Charlie over and over. Cool.

    Thanks for the info, Luci.

    We must never think participation is wasted, WCW (though perhaps it can be a little overindulged in?) $5000 would be nice, too!

    I've voted. There's no great distinction in the 3 elevations, and Charlie's 'hold' and landing are both close second bests to Greene's. So the running with the flight sets it apart, I believe.

    (An annoying curiosity with the voting on-line (why am I surprised!...):  I accidentally highlighted Georgiades and it wouldn't let me change to my intended vote. Only solution was to vote on another device. Grrr... On the plus side, my vote registered, despite me not ticking the box that would have seen me inundated with Four n Twenty promos, Then again, they've probably put me in the 'not to win $5000' pile. Grrr again...)

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
