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.

Re: Vote for Roo, bravest mark
Both great marks and very hard to split. im sure if either player came second to the other they wouldnt be upset.
Re: Vote for Roo, bravest mark
I think the fact that Roo got well off the ground put his above Brown's.

Re: Vote for Roo, bravest mark
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.

Re: Vote for Roo, bravest 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

Re: Vote for Roo, bravest mark
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.

Re: Vote for Roo, bravest mark
Roo's a fair bit better, both brave, but as far as marks go, no contest.

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".

Re: Vote for Roo, bravest mark
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!

Re: Vote for Roo, bravest mark
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.
