AFL- Mark of 2001

[jondoe4171]

SCREAMER

[cjmarshall91]

Lucas kicked on his right, another reason why this is the BEST mark I've ever seen

[godwinismyname]

wasnt this 2000?

[TheJames7able]

Mark of the decade??

[skinnydogkew]

That is the scoreline that we should regularely seeing against the Bulldogs.

[jhardyrules13]

pretty good year for gary moorcrofttook the mark, and put the bombers in front in the greatest comeback match against the roos, and funny how no one realised that he took the mark over brad johnson

[allybuilder]

I remember watching this. I jumped up like 'holy shit'.

[Arvo92]

I went to this game all those years ago when I was 9 years old (can't believe it was that long ago lol), I haven't seen a mark close to as good as this.

[939291]

Mark of 2001?

this will go down as the greatest mark in history.

[trickyonne]

The best mark in history. It is in a league of its own. Morecroft was on fire this game. After that mark he kicked his 6th goal and it was only the 2nd Quarter.

[tmunn13]

ooooohhhhhhh WHAT A MARKKKKK.... SENSATIONAALLLLLLL!!!!! great commentry

[jackbanpk]

essendon ftw

=]

[ac6murray]

Lol good call.

[SirPwnya]

Best.Mark.Ever full stop.If it had been in the Grand Final people would rate it better than Jezzas

[agray12345]

thats almost better than jesalinkos aii

go dons

[megankate6]

better than burtons

[dancansss]

Wouldnt be paid anymore because he used his hands to lift himself up.

[Mozsa]

@dancansss Not so sure about that, you'll find if a player takes a speccy like that these days and uses his hands, the mark is paid.

If he drops it, it's generally a free kick.

[seanway123]

talk about taking one for the team!!

brilliant catch

[Shine0nCrazyDiamond]

I was at that game!

[pandaeddie6969]

awesome mark

[reignmetal1990]

AMAZING!

[essendonFC4eva]

haha mark of the century

[kinkytwista]

AWESOME GRAB!

Sadly a part of the game that is fading.

[Luigi356]

I think he heavily damaged his back.

[obebe11]

This mark both made and ended his career.

At one stage he needed aids and helpers to get out of bed in the morning. Its a shame.

But a timeless classic!

[JONOCALDWELL]

unreal. best iv ever seen anywyay.

[sa17ma18ra]

2001 had the best mark & goal of all the 2000's so far. Mark Merenda-West Coast Eagles(goal), Gary Morecroft- Essendon Bombers(mark)!

[Andyftw73]

FTW!!! I Went To The Game Just Wish I Was Old Enough To Remember But Dude Thats a fucking EPIC mark dude easily mark of the century he never recovered and scott lucas right foot xD

[aitk3nj]

just a mark

[brakey87]

GARYY!!!!!!!

[GoTheUnderdog99]

that "Ohhhhhh, what a mark!, SENSATIONAL!".

its just so famous now.

Shame bruce isnt the commentator he once was!

[GoTheUnderdog99]

I reckon thats the only time scotty lucas has ever kicked with his right foot too!

he should do it more often lol.

[blakeyjb]

I was there for this

He never recoverd from hurting his hip when he landed

And i never knew lucas kicked it off his right foot LOL

[tommyadams666]

that is fking nuts.. easily mark of the century.

[fiandiain]

Goosebumps, this mark gives me goosebumps. Purely awesome.

[rhysnorris04]

jezza's is absolutely brilliant and wont be topped for a long time...it a good mark but some are saying that in todays game it would be in the back...but he marked the ball so its fine

[Martena56]

soz, but its mark of the century

[evren911]

who marked it lol

[jampt1989]

best grap i have ever seen. ever

[Martena56]

This mark kicks some serious ass. Kills all the other marks of the early 2000's

[DenzAngel]

Fly FUCKER Fly!

[mcgoonster]

jezza never needed his hands to steady himself though

[nowaynoah]

insane

[bombers234]

absoulutly shitted on Jezza's if u ask me

[tulipolar]

Best mark of all time.

[peppi618]

absolutely shitted on tarrants

[bombers234]

shits on jezza's too

[Bauer286]

bombers what a legendary club.. gary moorcroft what an awesome mark.. that made CNN in the states

scotty lucas using his right boot.. perfect kick

[speakerbox1987]

AFL= SHITE

GAA = Beautiful Game

[chrisrulezzAA]

wat is gaa

[lachsta12]

on brad johnson what a mark?????????????

[tateduku]

(Looks great)But, a midget standing on a midget off a 30 meter kick ,come on!!.A lot harder off a 50 metre launch!Spectacular all the same!!!!!!!!!

[scottyluke13]

that is probaly the best mark taken in the history of footy

[tsn1]

This is counted as a push in the back with the fucking rules today, turning into soccer girls

[coolguyalex69]

mark of the century. show me a better one?

[tribey]

Capper did that all the time in the 80's, Moorcroft's looked better than it was because he's a nugget, Johnson propelled forward making him look higher than he was and he landed like a dropped pie.

[HardstyleHooliigan]

Shaun Smith is a better one :)

[TheThingKing]

WHAT A GRAB that was 1 of the best I have seen. But in todays footy that would be classified as hands in the back I HATE THAT RULE.

[dudemate78]

@TheThingKing not anymore

[lukeybarto]

it is a great mark, but in todays game 2007 it wouldnt of counted...shitty rule really..

[mattmorgzloz]

and hey whats Johnson doin back there for the doggies!? And im a girl and i no my footy!

[FevRocks]

thats not jonson its another guy wit the 6 numba jonson used 2 be the 16 numba mattmorgzloz!!!

[mattmorgzloz]

R u sure it looks just like him??? Meh i dont really like bulldogs so dont pay much attention 2 em

[greg2588]

It is Brad Johnson.

[PeterGoDeees]

no its not its Gary Morcroft

[greg2588]

Obviously you haven't been following the discussion. It is being debated who Gary is taking the mark over. Please try to read the whole discussion next time before commenting.

[PeterGoDeees]

yeah sorry mate. When lachsta12 said "on Brad Johnson what a mark" I thought you were trying to correct him by saying the mark was taken by Brad Johnson and not on Brad Johnson, anyway sorry about that misunderstanding.

[Bauer286]

its Brad Johnson u twits

[greg2588]

Yeah we know u twit

[Bauer286]

well then why does this conversation go on for two pages about some discussion about who he took the mark over.. just look it up if your that dumb..

fricken ifgit twits

go bombers

[greg2588]

If you read my posts you'll realise i was saying the entire time that it was Brad Johnson okay. Please do not insult anybody's intelligence because judging from how you type, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

[jj45455]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[miketysonisalegend]

ohh yeh its not johnson ey look it up in the history books. Best known for his Mark of the Year over Brad Johnson in Round 14, 2001

[greg2588]

Hey mate respect ya cos ur a carlton supporter but that is Brad Johnson. You are wrong mate, 100% wrong.

[lachsta12]

your rite go bulldogs

[mattmorgzloz]

Great mark! I love afl! It will always be the best! Good Luck to the crows on Friday against the saints! GO CROWS! And good luck to Jason Porplyzias injury ! LOVE U MAN!

[WalMast]

That is the greatest mark of all time - it will be hard to ever beat that one.

[n1tr0s0x1d3]

rofl afl owns all other sports...and u said..spot?rofl what is spot? learn to spell loser.

[robbo2768]

personally afl is the gayest spot out but that was a mad mark

[nickyg2727]

your a fagg and you know it

[alexmckenzie49]

That was one hell of a mark, but what about scotty using his right foot, unbelievable!

[Livin1nSin]

As awesome as that mark was, I couldn't stop staring at the scoreboard. Man it's painful to see the Doggies losing by so much to Essendon. Well I guess the Dogs aren't all that great... I mean, they lost to Carlton today :-(. OHHH THE SHAME OF IT ALL!!

[Team3xtreme]

AFL is and always will be the best

[nowra]

what round was that?

[tompeddlesdeen]

awesome mark! though that wouldnt be a mark this year i dont think

[SupZig]

"He's taken the wind out of himself, and why wouldn't he cos he's sucked it in from the stratosphere when he was up there" - classic

[chupapapapa]

morecroft, what a gem.

love how lloydy is holding the ball when gaz is on the ground. he could smell an easy goal for himself! haha

[bennettnewton]

greatest mark in the history of the game. end of story.

[EnergyBoy007]

i love bruce!!! hes the best

[matt278]

ive watched this over 100 times this week and i nether get tired of it

[joesakic91]

I like that mark. Gary Moorcroft's landing was painful.

[vorteks64]

What are you trying to say? People who play AFL are retarded? Are you one of those rug-munching rugby boys? Do you want to scrum? Wanna smell my ass? Come on big boy I'll let you touch my balls in a line-out...

[gsdkain]

No, I play Aussie Rules, I was merely pointing out anyone who has ever played Aussie Rules would not call an umpire a referee. Unless of course they are retarded.

[djtonyc77]

from the US, nice catch.. no foul for pushing the guy in front of him as he jumps back?

[vorteks64]

Nah, didn't push with his hands, as long as he was going for the ball I think its cool with the ref's.

[ShoopiGOOFBALL]

lol ref's... do you even know anything about AFL?

they are called umpires!... if you think that was good watch one by Ashlea Sampi!

[vorteks64]

Ah yes ofcourse, umpiries haha.

I play AFL, but thanks for pointing that out, it was a simple mistake, no need to get critical.

[gsdkain]

you do not liar, if you do you are retarded.

[rods1987]

great mark but i think sampis was a lil better

[Chrisso9]

I rate that one of the best I've seen. See the score line too, how times have changed... (and I'm a Lions fan, I know about it lol)

[buckyboi2323]

has to be the best mark ever!!!! ya cnt get much better than that and if u can i'd love to see it!!

[nick69nitro]

one of the best marks ive ever seen
