Last night on Footy Classified, Caroline Wilson pointed out that Aaron Francis' excellent mark in Round 23 wasn't properly considered for the Mark of the Year award because the judges were given the "full" list of contenders after Round 22. It's beyond belief that the AFL can't get its act together and manage the MOTY process after all the Home and Away games have been completed. What's the rush to have it resolved before the end of the season? The winner doesn't get announced until Grand Final Week, which allows plenty of time for a decision to be made. I assume there is betting conducted on the MOTY. In which case, should people who bet on Aaron Francis' mark be entitled to a refund? Should the AFL have to face scrutiny from the gaming regulator for not having managed this betting opportunity with appropriate integrity? I'm not saying that Francis mark was necessarily better than Isaac Heeny's. But it definitely was good enough to be considered. (I couldn't see this discussed anywhere else, but if I'm wrong, please merge with the appropriate thread.)

Was checking out Mitch Clark's mark on the AFL - Mark of the Year gismo and thought we've had a few entries this year. Counted them up and we have 6 of the 21 contenders this year, with then next best tally being 3 (Carlton)... Whooo Hooo Go Demons.
