Sam Walsh Mark of the Year

[Lods]

Every time we (Carlton supporters) give Cornes attention he gets his jollies.
It's what  his Carlton baiting is all about.
He's just trolling for a reaction
If he was on the forum he'd have been banned a long time ago.

In terms of the mark, it's probably a question of  personal preference.
I love the big high mark as much as anyone.
Walker was robbed.
Others prefer the courageous 'back with the pack" mark
I remember thinking at  the time of Walsh's mark....that's the best I've seen by a Carlton player for some years (probably since the Walker one).

I for one hope that Walsh doesn't make a habit of those types of marks. He got a little chop out from Liam Jones which impeded Dixon to a degree, but that wont happen all the time, and Dixon or similar types at top speed could really inflict a lot of damage.

If we are being really super honest, as mightily courageous as it was (John Brown and Nick Riewoldt like), it wasn't mark of the year in the vein of Jeremy Howe, Shaun Smith, Andrew Walker (Mark of the Year that was robbed) etc. Kane is a knob but as he said, there were probably better high marks (ie spectacle). But lets not begrudge the kid, it was super.

I totally agree GTC ... he came in from the side someways and though it was without doubt a superb mark, it isn't an all time classic.  Newnes goal?  That was and is.

The thing that probably got him over the line was that the body heading in the other direction was Charlie Dixon, on a day when he was treating Liam Jones like a ragdoll.

Fair points T

And to her credit, Carro said exactly that as did Hutchy. Said Newnes should have got GOTY.

Probably.
