Opinion Best contested mark from your club.

[Aristotle Pickett]

Contested marking is a vital aspect of the game .
Who from your club is the best at this?

At Richmond I would nominate Riewoldt, Lynch, Nankervis, Balta and Grimes, with Jack Riewoldt a clear winner imo.

 

[Stabby McGee]

Probably Maxxie but Benny not far off. Tmac has his moments but a step away even at his best

 

[Power Raid]

Dixon and Aliir lead the stat in 2021 but I suspect Georgiades could be our best in 2022

Looking at the stats for 2021 for total contested marks it went:

Wright did surprisingly well in 2021. Ridley and Laverde make sense as some of our better contested marks. Jones and Draper I expect to improve significantly next year and both missed quite a few games so would already be near the top off a full season.

My prediction for 2022 would be:
1: Ridley
2: Wright
3: Jones

Rank	Name	Games	Total
1​	Peter Wright​	21​	32​
2​	Jordan Ridley​	22​	26​
3​	Jayden Laverde​	23​	23​
4​	James Stewart​	17​	21​
5​	Harrison Jones​	16​	17​

I've always rated Aaron Francis as a great mark, it would be good to see him get it together this year.

Harrison Petty.

But ya'll not ready for that conversation.

Good shout, I'd say after Max he is the best at the club.

 

[Schauermann]

Hard to go past Lobb. Taberner dropped of a bit, was very good in previous seasons (but got hardly noticed because he mostly played less then 10 games). Darcy starting to go alright as well. Fyfe dropped of, too, but still goes alright for a mid.

Actually pretty solid on paper for disappointing onfield results. Think that is overall a very good top 4 but we never seem to dominate play (not to mention scoring) through contested marks...

 

[RUNVS]

Pound for pound Parker is pretty damn good, but he is on the shorter side.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

McEvoy has been always up there but i honestly say Lewis his hands are elite.

 

[FreoRicci]

Can’t go past Taberner. Just doesn’t play enough games to get consistent. Lobb drops the easy one on ones at times. Taller and versatile then Taberner yet gets pushed out of some contests whereas Taberners pretty strong and hard to even fall over going for pack marks

Jones likely number 1 by the end of next season. Uncanny ability to pull down the pack mark.

Matt taberner has been a solid contested mark for Freo in the last 4 or 5 years

and Tim English!

Naughton in my eyes is the best contested mark in the competition !

Naughton in my eyes is the best contested mark in the competition !

Hard to argue against. Very impressive average this early in his career.

has a terrific pair of hands. Probably our best contested mark these days.
Should only get better in the air as he strengthens up a bit more and enters his prime.

Yes , unbeatable one on one and will be the new captain.

is probably as good/better (due to superior aerobic/jumping capacity)

Big Harry does probably have an unfair advantage as he has dukes (arms) that stretch so far it makes it nigh on impossible for his opponents to spoil.

next. Despite playing the whole season with a plantar fascia injury in his foot, he was also top 10 in the league for contested marks per game.

 

[eth-dog]

Probably Draper now that Hooker's gone. Apparently Baldwin has great hands too.

 

[PhatBoy]

All things considered probably Hawkins and he has had that mantle for a decade and at various times has arguably been the best in the entire comp. However Henry is very good and pound for pound, though he’s never likely to take one in a game that actually means anything, Gary Rohan
