Neither compare to a Sam Welsh chest mark

Wouldn't say robbed. It's more of a MacGill getting picked over Warne type situation.
Both speccies were great. I probably appreciate Mihocek's slightly more from a technical standpoint, but there's always extra points for doing it in the goal square. Bolton landing on his feet from such a height is pretty cool too.

Replay is on Fox now. Could BT have massacred the commentary any worse? A screamer like that and he barely reacts at all yet loses his head over simple passages of play. His incompetence as a commentator knows no bounds.

I'm pretty sure I'm not upset that it was against my team, but Bolton's mark... I dunno, I was a bit like "Yeah, great grab" no worries if it was mark of the year, but I just didn't see it in the "Give him the car now" class and the talk during the game about it being the mark of the decade had me genuinely befuddled... I must be missing something.
100% agree. Of course it was a great mark but it was not the all time classic like some people are banging on about.
It looked better as still photos than on video.

Absolutely absurd that Bolton should lose out to a Mark that is taken at training every Tuesday night! They practice that stuff, I'm a Catman and even with my bias I could see that Bolton's Mark was a great one. not to be recognised is just plain dumb! Never let the fans judge anything!

I honestly couldn’t tell you who had won MOTY or GOTY in any season in recent times. Who actually cares besides kids?
Alex Keath’s mark criminally under-rated in this conversation. I have Bolton’s above Mihocek’s on the spectacular scale and probably degree of difficulty, given he was outnumbered and the opponents had as good a look at it as he did. But Keath went very early to put McKay out of the contest and to hang long enough to take the mark from there was a tremendous effort.
All three great grabs though.

I'm guessing it's also the momentum he's been building in the last few weeks where he has really emerged as a superstar, culminating in that mark
It was a massive moment but unfortunately for Shai a bit of a turning point as they got thrashed and then he got bashed

Only reason why it's in mark of the decade conversation is because there's only been 2 years in this decade. Even still it was better than Walsh's mark which one last year
Revenge for bringing tbe game into disrepute with his nightclub antics #keepthegameclean

Flawed system,should not be down to fans,ridiculous system,diabolical.
I did not know it goes to a fan’s vote otherwise I would have voted but saying people who don’t vote on a website are nuffies is silly.
Should be voted by a panel of ex forwards who played AFL.
AFL at fault here but he can still win MOTY.
Bolton's mark wasn't as good as it's been hyped imo. The still of it looks crazy but if he didn't stick his leg up it wouldn't look as good. He got a good ride but so did Mihocek. Mihocek also took it in his hands and held onto it despite landing on his back.
Pretty close so I don't know what the fuss is about.

The system is wrong and if that mark is excluded then a massive rethink is needed.
Similar thing happened to Jeremy Howe, happy with a voters choice award but should be judged impartially going forward.
Edit, Good to see that Boltons mark will be included unless there are 5 better coming.

Problem is, Richmond was soundly beaten last week, and we all know Tigers supporters retreat into the woodwork when the team loses

Fixed that up for you St. Silverware mate, we retreat into the silverware when we lose. We haven’t won any woodwork for years, you must be thinking of the Blues.
It's MOTY, not the Brownlow. It's exactly the sort of thing you want fans voting on. They've got the contingency if enough fans don't vote for a great mark or if there's more than one great mark in a round. If you're that invested in it, vote and work to convince others to do so too.
We are everyone's mark of the year grand final

Howe got robbed a few years ago when Daniher won it
So obviously there are more Essendon voters than Pies votes and even less Tigers voters

The fact Franga didn't get even nominated for that mark was a real robbing
