The three finalists have been announced

Eddie Betts will win the goal of the year, no question. That is a class above the other two.

The mark of the year is harder to pick. I reckon Daniher might win it but Daw's a Lobb's marks were both awesome too. They are all very good

I'd have no ill feelings if Buddy's gets the nod, fair roost.
I agree, Lobb's mark was pure courage, the other two we're clean leap and grabs, I'm happy for any of the 3 to win that one.

Eddies goal and Daws mark for me, the ball was so freaking high when he grabbed it.

Bruce's commentary was great too - if you saw that in isolation you would think he is a superstar.

Just needs to do it more than once in a blue moon and he will be scary good

Eddie's goal will win hands down.

Whilst Daniher's and Daw's marks were great spectacles, I would like to see Lobb win it for pure courage.

daw only because of the height and the fact his arms are extended at full reach

However there is far more difficultly taking a big grab running from out of the full forward square and reading a bomb launched out of the centre circle. There is far more intensity in taking those forward line grabs than taking a mark from a kick out from the full back which daw did

Lobbs mark is just psychotic you just back back and prey when u get hit that you wont get up crippled but youll do it cos you know your coach is watching. I dont think its courageous i think its just stupidity lol
