With Mark of the Year and possibly Goal of the Year it could be 50/50.

Yet those individual moments of brilliance aside, I'd like to point out the first few minutes of the match and Kade Simpson's pinpoint pass out in front of Jeff Garlett, running with the flight, who takes the mark, flicks on the afterburners and goals on the run from 45. Poetry in motion and a nice little catharsis for Simmo, in his 150th and his first game against the Bombers since his role in that draw.

I'm with you Ponky, that bit of ply bought a tear to my eye.

I loved watching eddie's work rate. him running from outside 50 to collect the hand pass from Judd to goal.


But walkers mark takes the cake by a mile!

I was whistling Sweet Georgia Brown through the second half. Referring to the Bombers as the Washington Generals.

...bit cocky but always fun smashing the Bombers.

Hope Juddy's goal assist in the goal square to Betts gets a mention, that was one of the classiest bits of play I've seen.

The team build up to Yarran's goal was terrific.

As was Scotland marking in front of oncoming traffic in the 3rd.

Loved Judd's one armed fend off & pass to set up another goal in the 4th too.

Travis Colyer's goal from the boundary was outstanding.

It was indeed but it was also a fluke.

Judd had a host of plays. His delayed handball to Betts for a goal while surrounded by hangers on was pretty good.

How about the time Monfries didn't get a kick?

I started referring to them as "The Gliders" in the second half - didnt go down very well in the section I was sitting in - especially when I said the Brisbane Bombers were more deserving of that particular piece of nomenclature.

That was just so special.. .
The guy shows why he is a champ, just by that piece of play, so much composure. Not easy to do that. The fact he didn't rush it to Gart's and then just lays it out to Eddie .... Champ.

Walker's mark was pretty good.

Nah, according to the comments in the article up on The Age it was no good and he's just a dud.

I loved the bit of play Gibbs-Tuohy-Hendo-Armfield-Hendo-Murph (or was it Judd)-Betts-Yaz goal.
