Shai or Jack

[Baloo]

Still Jack for mine for it's uniqueness. I don't think I've seen anyone run front on to a pack, leap, catch a ride on the front incoming pack and rotate 180 at the same time, then take the grab. It's ridiculous.

Shai's mark is a thing of beauty and will be in many AFL highlight reels for it's classic Aussie Rules high flying mark. It's near perfection in the art of high flying. But Jack's has that WTF factor that gets more ridiculous every time you watch it

So now in the last 4 and a bit years, we've had 3 premierships, a Brownlow, 3 NSM, 2 goals of the year, and now 2 marks of the year which are probably two of the best ever taken, in the last 3 weeks! What an era this is.

Jack's backside is only level with 181cm George Castagna's head whereas Shai was standing on 198cm Mark Bilcavs head

People have short memories.

Shai for me:

Jacks was amazing and incredibly brave, but I went for Shais purely due to the incredible height he managed to get to.

For courage and degree of difficulty Jack....Shai's for spectacular beauty and balance.

Jack's is mark of the year. Anyone who has played the game knows how much courage it takes to run back with the flight of the ball when the pack is coming the other way.

well thats a surprise

Shai's was an absolute ripper & watching the game more exciting.

But Jack's was borderline crazy & as courageous as they come & at such a crucial part of the game gets the nod.

Needing a goal or injuring himself is completely irrelevant. Shai. Best mark since Sean Smith

Genuinely can't separate them.

Just when I'm convinced that one of them is better, I look at the other one and change my mind. And then change my mind again.

Can there be joint winners of mark of the year?

I think in 20 years time we will still see images of Shai's mark.

Jack's mark possibly more skillful, and amazing how he timed his jump, pirouette and mark, but it is more made for GIF's than a still image.

This mark is ridiculous. It's one of the biggest marks ever. There's those couple of massive Howe marks, Sampi, the Brett Burton v Carl,
Busustow.... It's bigger than any Modra or Ablett. It's freaking epic!

Jack is lucky Castgna is lucky he didn't bite down.
Jack wouldve been castrated

George would have missed

Both all time great Marks in the Pantheon of VFL/AFL footy.

Doesn't matter what I pick as they will give it to some campaigner who takes an mediocre grab from another side.

Gotta get Shai’s in there to start with.

Yep Shai was ridiculously high. Jack's ridiculously freaky. Both very brave (try falling from the height Shai is at). Shai for me, just.

well thats a surprise

I have no doubt he actually had the tape measure out
