1. Last Bear/Lion to win goal of the year?

2. Last Bear/Lion to win mark of the year?

Name and year please. I actually don't know the answer to number 1 but I bet someone does. I know number 2 though. A current player, as if you need a clue.

1. Jarrad Molloy - 1999, against Carlton in one of the finals.

2. Not sure about this. Maybe Daryl White. Or Alistair Lynch back in 1988 or 89 at the MCG v North Melbourne.

1. Darryl White in 1992. Paddled it around the Carrara boundary around a couple of players, danced in and out of bounds, regathered the ball and slotted it from about 40 metres.

2. Sheesh - I can't remember. I'm going to kick myself when I find out, I'm sure.

Didn't Richard Osbourne win it about 15 years ago?

Paul D is correct. Lynchy in 89 Fitzroy v North - the huge grab over the top of the pack. It remember it so clearly because I actually went to the trouble of ringing the phone number on grand final day to vote for it.

89 was also memorable for the Fitzroy reserves premiership. I stayed up to watch the GF marathon on 7, then the under 18s and reserves and was so tired I fell asleep halfway through the first quarter of the big game and missed it completely.

Come to think of it - is this the first time these things have been awarded prior to GF day? What if there's a magnificent goal this week? Can it be entered for next year?
