That mark had a touch of Leo Barry about it.

And I don't think anyone but Melbourne supporters appreciate how rare a Simon Godfrey right-foot goal really is!

It was an awesome goal though.

Yep, I saw the resemblance to Barry's mark. It was a ripper that Greeny took.

And that Godders goal was unbelievable. Just a magnificent moment in the game, made more amazing by the fact that it was nearly 50 metres out!! And I loved his celebration too!

MELBOURNE GETS ROBBED OF MOTYS AND GOTYS EVERY BLOODY year

we are lucky to have a team like we do which has the best highlights of most sides in the AFL...

just a few times weve been robbed...

Woey robed of GOTY by his own teammate farmer 1998

Robbo robbed of MOTY everyyear since he played the game..

Yze robbed of MOTY LAST (geelong game) year AND 2 years before that WAY BETTER mark over the top of a few sydney guys than stupid mcPharlins superman mark

Davey Robbed of GOTY last year by edward betts...

Yze robbed of GOTY this yer by dustin fletcher.... (best goal i have ever seen by yze)

didnt even get goal of the round

its a popularity contest... Green is up against FRASER dont bother voting...

last year it had some crediabilty when its experts had their say, and the fans...

looked like a good strong mark until you watch the replay closely and see it touched carrols arm first...

And you could see Chopper wanted to tear his head off

Yeah, you could see how cut he was being out marked by a bloke he had in a bear hug.

From someone who doesn't barrack for either Collingwood or Melb, Frasers mark was a ripper, and should win MOTW.

But BrownlowBruce makes a valid point. Some excellent nominations are missing out cos they are up against inferior Goals/Marks performed by players from popular teams [Coll & Ess for example].

Not sure I agree with every instance listed [Farmers goal was better than Woewodins in 1998, and Melbourne can't be robbed if the award goes to one of their players :wacko: ], but defiantely Dustin Fletcher should not have won the Round 4 nomination this year in front of Adem Yzes goal against Fremantle.

Having said of all that, I'll be voting for Jason Laycock this week. :lol:

Frasers was very ..so -so..nothing spesh.. a good mark..but thats all.

Green is impressing..he's really stepped up a bit ( well as has half the team )

Green is almost making htis style of mark a trademark.. well ok.. but two weeks running he's pulled off clinchers by going back into a pack at height , which is really another way of saying...this could really really hurt !!.

Kudos to the fella..well done :-) keep it up.

He took a few in a similar fashion last year too.

As much as I dislike the Pies and that overrated 200cm marshmallow, Fraser, I thought his mark under pressure in the goal square was first class.

Green's two marks in the last quarter were good stabilising marks from a player that has matured much in the past year and is not often credited for the hard in and under work he does.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
