My memory of that mark was that he took it unopposed going backwards and slightly to his left. Everyone else either misjudged the flight or was being obstructed some way.
I may be wrong.

I was the good looking bloke, a bit of Brad Pitt lookalike my women reckon
Allow me to add my bit, considering it happened a mere 20-30 meters from where I was sitting...No , I'm not the "right in front of me" guy.
That ****ing little **** umpire, simply paid the free he was looking for, not the free(or the mark) that should have been paid to Otten. Otten was held first - equally as obvious as Truck's hold, then he was pushed in the back as he went for the ball, then he marked it. Which one of these three events was not as worthy as the free that the cheating scum umpire was searching deep and hard for?....
rant over.

I was thinking of a way to word that - that is spot on. There were three things that could have been paid there - a free to Anthony, a free to Otten, or a mark to Otten.
Umpiring 101 - the frees cancel themselves out and you pay the mark.
The frustration was is compounded by the fact that similar holds had gone unpaid the entire night, it wasn't until that instance that the umpire decided to finally pay it.
Another good game from Andy today. He really has gotten back to where he was before he did his knee. So happy to see him doing well. It was a tough time for him after his knee. Hopefully we can keep him at our club long term. Our backline is so much better with him in it.

Has certainly made people forget about Shaw pretty quickly.
The most exciting thing for me about Otten's form this year has been him regaining his sidestep. His agility was such a big weapon for him, particularly given his lack of pace, and it seemed to have vanished after his knee injury. Just in the last few weeks it's back and he looks twice the player for it.

Delist. Too slow, poor decision making... wait, what?

Never lost faith in Andy Otten.
Knew he could turn it around and get back to his best form. He just needed a bit of time and confidence in his own body.

hopefully his return from injury will give Crows fans a bit more understanding when Walker comes back.

No no no. You've got it all wrong. We need to trade him immediately! We could maybe get a speculative second or third rounder for him!

As good as gaining a free agent in the offseason. We are a better side with Otten.

Nice bump!
I was critical of his speed after Rd1 but tonight I saw him go stride for stride with Polec. Whoah.
He is playing very inspired footy and hopefully he can be our version of D.Menzel.

Would've made the squad in 2010 if he followed on from his 09 form with organic growth.
I was critical when we gave him 2 years, I didn't think he'd be back.
But he has been very good since he's come back. Seems like a really nice bloke. Very pleased for him.

Can literally play every position on the ground. An old fashioned utility who is now invaluable in the modern game.
