1. They should show Riewoldt's run into the mark.

2. Brown is liked more amongst the masses.

3. Riewoldt's was the best mark ever. Period. The collision caused him to do a front flip in mid-air FFS. GET A GRIP. No contest.

Both great marks and very hard to split. im sure if either player came second to the other they wouldnt be upset.

I think the fact that Roo got well off the ground put his above Brown's.

Roos mark was more athletic but both are ridiculously brave, can't believe that they didn't take their eyes off the ball for a second. Super marks from absolute champions of the game.

I'm biased.
Roo's was the greatest mark I've seen (not the best high mark)

Riewoldts better... By a bit IMO

He didn't even brace for contact... Could have been killed

Bartel also took one...

Reiwoldts mark is the single best thing I've seen on a footy field... At one stage he was behind the contest line

To this day, I watch it prior to playing. It was AWESOME

It's hard to tell, seeing as roo is going at such pace here, but the gif that shows his mark isn't even real time, which makes it look a lot less impressive if you're not paying attention, yet JB's is. Seeing those marks back to back in real time makes Nick's look ridiculously scary. At least give the same options for both marks so the people can judge fairly. I would like to submit something to AFL.com but I don't know how.

Also, i'd like to say this i feel saintsational has gone up a notch in quality of discussion/poster's intentions as of late, makes me want to be a part of the community :)


Being sick and stuck in bed probably also has something to do with it :P

maybe check if you have a fever over 40 before making outlandish claims like that

Roo's a fair bit better, both brave, but as far as marks go, no contest.
Milne's a tough nut, if he'd been an Italian soccer player he'd still be lying there thrashing around in agony.

Brown is winning the poll by a landslide of 59% to 41%.

Un-freakin-believable! Just shows to go how opposition supporters hate him for the shallow reasons of him having blonde hair and that he's supposedly a "sook".

The trouble with Nick's one is that the AFL have cut the clip too much.

You really need to see where he comes from, and the speed at which he comes from there, to appreciate just how unbelievable that mark really was!

Being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble.

What a stupid question, they're both brave marks. You can't scale braveness, it's there or it's not.
Which was a better mark though, absolutely Roo.
