The best I've seen at the ground was Ablett's mark against Collingwood. I was sitting ground floor in the old AFL members section so didn't get a great view of it, but vividly remember seeing him rise up over Pert. Just incredible. Farmer's mark against Richmond in 1998 would be next best. Was on level 3 behind the goals so almost had a birds eye view of it.

My favourite all time mark though was Leo Barry in the GF. Iconic mark and an amazing finish to a grand final.

The best Ablett mark ever was round 10, 1987 v Richmond at the MCG. Ted Whitten was doing commentary and he was hysterical.
There was a photo published in the paper. Insane hops as he was literally standing on the guys head.

I think my personal favourite Ablett one was in 1985 versus North at Geelong. In the goal square. The one against Collingwood in 1987 at Waverley over Cloke was great as well.

Never hurts to take them in a Grand final.

While I love all the hanger marks,as much as anyone that Nic Riewoldt mark at scg could happen every week but it doesn't.Best ever with some of Jono Browns also deserving a mention

All time favourite is Moorcroft’s. A close second is Howe’s screamer on the wing against the Swans…’hoooow did he do that?’

My favourite ‘with the flight’ one is actually Bartel’s. And I don’t like Geelong.

Same game as his torp goal up the other end. Glendinning was his opponent.

Yep, close to the greatest mark and goal I've ever seen. By the same player, in the same match.

Ricky Barham took an upside down one hander (1min 28 min of this video which is very underrated.



It didnt even get mark of the day which was even a greatest travesty than the Daniher Howe controversy of a few years ago.

Steve johnsons in the flight mark was better then bartels.

' mark and barrel roll across the pack

Moorcroft though sits as best ever in my mind.

 

[Blue1980]

Best ive seen in person are the Moorcroft one in 2001 and the Walker 2011 one.

The Walker one in 2011 is one of the best of all time, let alone best of that year.

I’ve never seen that footage, unreal.

Probably didn't hold it long enough but that is amazing! Never seen it before.

One that hasn't been mentioned yet was Jono Brown v Hawthorn (Fav alongside Moorcroft and Leo Barry). The courage running back with the flight was unrreal.

I've never understood how that mark doesn't get more praise. Of the "running with the flight of the ball" type marks, to me that's easily the best. No one jumped out of his way, he ran into a pack and still held the mark. Amazing grab.

I was living overseas and watching the '07 semi in an ex-pat pub, nearly hit the roof for this one

Pretty sure because it was a final it was NOT Mark of the Year either. Absolute madness, that's one of the great marks.
