Not trolling here, this link was posted on a collingwood board and after reading some comments I felt compelled to say something. Of course, I will no doubt be verbally abused for it by the lesser Blues fans.

I know you guys are desperate to win something. I can understand that, losing a semi final the way you guys did cuts deep, we know all about it. Walker's mark was a ripper and nobody really could split all three marks. But to say Krak's mark was shit and ordinary is below even Carlton supporters. Were you all screaming shananigans when Judd won a highly contentious brownlow last year, knocking off Ablett & Swan who had better years?? Nope! Krak took a fantastic pack mark and deserves his award. I'm not looking to start a email fight here, it is not my style, just give some credit where it is due, it is just common courtesy.

I think only Posiedon has given Krak some credit, very intelligent poster.

The hatred for collingwood sometimes seems endless and often uncalled for. There is a time to have a go and a time to dip your hat.....

Not saying his mark was shit, just that it wasn't as good as Walker's. And it wasn't. Take out our POV and you'll see most neutrals saying the same thing. And I'm assuming most of your lot didn't expect him to take MOTY... I think that says a lot...

It was a selection committee that overruled the public vote!
Yep, unfortunately the panel consisted of demetriou, anderson, darcy and bartlett. Expect walker style marks to be outlawed when knees on the shoulder becomes interference and a free kick.

just give some credit where it is due, it is just common courtesy.

Of course it was a good mark, would quite possibly even be in the top 10 for the year. Nobody's really suggesting it's a bad mark.

Walker should have won hands down.

Maybe the panel voted in secret and they each thought Walker was a shoe in, and ended up voting for Krakouer just to share the love around?

Walker's mark was a once in a decade sort of grab. Krakouer's was awesome, and could have won it in another year, but not up to Walker's imo. Nic Nat's was probably better too!

Guys, just because a pies fan posts here doesn't make them a troll. Big Footy is structured so all supporters can post on each others board, my original post had no trolling qualities, at least none I was aware of.

If Walker won MOTY I would not have been surprised at all as it was an awesome mark. Also wouldn't have been surprised if Nic Nat won it. Krak won it (don't know why specifically), it was a great mark as well but why bag him for it?

Let more abuse commence! :confused:

What did that idiot dribbler say to justify it?

Will definitely be tuning in tomorrow to hear the backlash.

First bold- That has nothing to do with it. Andrew Walker's mark should have been mark of the year. Krak's mark was good, but Walkers was better. If a collingwood player had taken the mark instead of Andrew Walker, I would still say the mark deserves mark of the year.
Im not saying Krak's mark wasn't good. it was pretty good, to get up that high in a pack was impressive, but i just feel , as do A LOT of AFL supporters, that Walkers was better.

Second Bold- And to say that we didnt scream shananigans when Judd won his brownlow, has nothing to do with MOTY.
Judd won the brownlow fair and square. The impact he had on games was impressive, not to say that Ablett and Swan's years werent good, I believe Judd's was better. A lot of people say Judd deserved his brownlow.
Judd was best on ground in a lot of games, where Swan had the likes of Pendlebury, Thomas, etc to take votes off him and Ablett had the likes of the whole midfield to take votes off him.

Comical decision...but just as comical as not putting Fyfe's goal into the top 3 of the year. The AFL have no cred in goal or mark of the year this year. Complete joke!

Walker's grab was the best of the last decade!

Hi, not trying to start a war here, I thought Walker's mark was the pick of them, but I seriously cannot believe how much it's bothering you Carlton supporters and how upset you guys are getting over it. It's sad really. MOTY and GOTY are the single two most irrelevant and unimportant awards you can get. I know if I were a Carlton supporter although I'd be surprised by the decision I really wouldn't be too phased. I'm sure even Walker couldn't give two shits he didn't win it.

It is a pointless, unimportant accolade and I cannot understand why it matters so much to you guys. Just my two cents worth.

luke darcy, the man on the rules committee.

really though, not winning moty isn't something to cry yourself to sleep over. walker can console himself knowing his will go down in the annals of time, etc etc.

Things like MOY, GOY, and AA Selections, are in reality just footy media “personalities” opinions, chocked full of their biases and ignorance, and hatred of certain clubs. They are good for a laugh, but no one takes them seriously. Jokers like KB actually sit on these voting panels – yep an SEN guy. The MOY decision was hilarious. I wonder if people are taking bets on these awards? Might be something for the AFL to investigate given the bizarre decisions they keep on making.

Anyway, The only awards with some cred are those voted on by the coaches and players, and umps (i.e. Brownlow).

I for one am a little relieved at Walker not getting the gong for MOTY.

I was at the game with two bomber supporters and in desperate need for a pi$$. I thought, "we are spanking them, what could happen?" and I ducked quickly off to the mens. Whilst there I heard what I could only describe as a roar you would hear at a sport where all supporters are cheering for the one side. I knew then that I had missed something special. I returned sheepishly to my seat where the two (formerly miserable) bomber supporters I had been watching the game with had suddenly chirped up. They happily described what they called, "the mark of the century" to me and that it had occurred only 30-40m from our seats. For the rest of the night they repeated with glee the vivid description of the amazing mark they had seen and I had missed whilst in the pi$$er.

I am now able to bask in the fact that I in fact did not miss the mark of the century and did see the Mighty Blues smash the bombers.

Go Blues 2012!!

LOL WTF Krakouer's mark was shit compared to Walker's, they're just pumping up their stupid little story of thug-turned-good.

It's ok guys dw bout it, everyone knows it was out of Walker and NicNat but seriously it's not that important and I'm not that suprised that a Carlton player isn't getting recognition it usually doesn't happen unless their name is Chris Judd...
