Better Mark; Rayner or Walker?

[Mr Ripper]

But Walker could have given his opponent a little bump in the back and taken an easy chest mark. Rayner wouldn't have got near to the mark if he didn't jump on top of 5 guys.

So he didn’t resort to cheating? Even better.

Well he did sit on his head so strictly speaking...

 

[Mr Ripper]

In the act of taking the mark, perfectly legal.

 

[Mooch]

My mind was still processing what I had just seen Walker do when Cam took his grab.

Walker’s for the spectacle. Cam for the pure difficulty of jumping from behind the pack.

Same. I was still celebrating a great mark when all of a sudden another one comes along!

Same as others really, give it to Cam for the difficulty factor.

 

[braddsey]

Rayner. Big pack marks certainly more difficult from the fact there's more moving pieces. Less common to see big pack marks these days.
Walkers was more spectacular, but more common. Still awesome!

 

[Clarkythelion]

I went with Walker just because it was all about him and he is a big man. Watching it live, there at the ground he just seemed to be higher. Both great marks and the amount of replays on the news was just great for the club

Pack mark wins every time.

Gary Moorcroft disagrees.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Definitely Walker's for mine. But the best part is that we had two possibles.

 

[Nuggo]

I've got the Rayner Love Goggles on at the moment. Can't see anything else.

There should be a "Passage of Play of the Year". That passage would be up there.

 

[Comeback Lions]

What I love about Walker's mark was how high he flew. He has great hands. But once you're up on someone's head, it hardly seems like a contest. Cam's mark was a contested beast of a mark. He beat two Adelaide guys and one of our guys and he needed great timing, desperation and belief to do that. It wins because it's the more difficult mark in my view.

 

[Gadzorks]

I gave it to walker - takes a lot of confidence to go for that grab and he has had to work really hard to get confident this year. At this point I'm pretty sure cam has never lacked confidence and I hope like hell he never does.

Gary Moorcroft disagrees.

I reckon Moorcroft's mark of the year, was pretty 'meh' as marks of the year go.

 

[knaf]

Pack mark in front of goal “priceless”.

 

[Sanchez365]

I have always disliked that mark. Using your hands to get up like he did shouldn't be a free kick, but it makes it much less spectacular.

 

[MacMum]

GAblett snr's so-called goal was ordinary too.......the ball pretty much fell on his chest as he was landing on his back. Snr was my footy idol, but straight away on seeing footage of his "spectacular" mark, I thought it wasn't so spectacular at all.

 

[BuntonRules]

Watch the effort and desperation Cam needs just to get there. Awesome.

 

[BangyBangy]

Snagging a pack mark from three deep is pretty impressive. Even more so for a first year player. Vote goes to Cam for me, but how good was it that even in a week where we had a loss, we were in so much of the media for this impressive and exciting passage of footy. Deserved 2019 premiership favorites if you ask me.

 

[rusty08]

Rayner for mine. For a first year 18 year old to out body a more seasoned defender initially, then to get the ride he did. Absolutely loved it. Have watched over again numerous times. He's gonna be an absolute ripper

 

[luthor]

I 'm a huge Rayner fan but Josh Skywalker gets my vote. (only just).

Both of them are just fabulous.

Totally agree. He certainly got up well, but then he got one hand to it and it fell with him and bounced out when he hit the ground. no way did he control it!

 

[Suitcase]

Rayner for sure. High degree of difficulty to jump over 5 blokes who are 6 inches taller and clunk the mark with 1 grab.

 

[BrizzyBandit]

Wtf....That is the greatest mark ever in my opinion.

Rayner's mark was super athletic and powerful..... but more of a lunge over the top that was beautifully timed.

I think Walkers grab was amazing. You very rarely see a man of Walkers height and weight taking giant speccy's. Huge skill and athleticism.... not to mention an intercept mark.


Walker's all day long.... but loved them both

 

[MacMum]

Wtf....That is the greatest mark ever in my opinion.

Never seen Shaun Smith's mark back in the day of the Brisbane Bears at the Gabba? Not a bad little grab, have a look sometime. Still considered the greatest mark of all time by a good lot of people.
