Opinion Best PAFC mark ever.

[Enviable Tradition]

Inspired by a thread on the main board I thought this might ne a fun (and lighter) off season discussion.

For me it is the Harold Oliver mark in 1914. Despite limited pics it is clearly a screamer from such a great player and so iconic.

Other challengers from my memory are Wingard against St Kilda and Shulz in the goal square (others will remember the exact games).

I feel like there would be a few fron Clive Waterhouse in his Maggies days too but nothing that immediately springs to mind.

Probably a few from Russell as well but that was before my time.

Ray Huppatz over Wayne Schmaal (nord) in the goalsquare in about 1983 is the best I remember seeing live

Wingard against st kilda is the best of the afl era

A few from the AFL era here. Outside the obvious entrants, t shirt Tommy Logan's effort, Ebert back with the flight and Sam Gray on the goal line deserve to be better remembered.

The Sam Gray one was truly unique, went for a speccy and then dived backwards off of his opponent's back to take the mark. The closest thing to Gary Moorcroft over Brad Johnson since Gary Moorcroft over Brad Johnson itself.

I got to see four great marks live in my lifetime... and I think the one that wowed me the most and still wows me because of how high he got and the uniqueness of it was Jay Schulz

also ALMOST took a better mark in the same match, but the ball bounced off his shoulder instead.

And I was right in front of Wingard when he took his mark of the year, that s**t was nuts too.
