Matilda Scholz’ screamer in Week Seven against Collingwood has won the 2024 Virgin Australia AFLW Mark of the Year, receiving $50,000 and two million Velocity Points thanks to Virgin Australia.

Scholz soared above a pack deep in Port Adelaide’s forward 50, launching off the Collingwood defender’s shoulder and pulling in a spectacular overhead mark. The 19-year-old ruck converted the goal to cap off the spectacular mark.

Scholz’ mark was voted the overall winner over finalists Mattea Breed (Hawthorn) in Week Nine and Rachel Kearns (Geelong Cats) in Week 10 at tonight’s W Awards.

Virgin Australia Executive, Libby Minogue said how proud they were to sponsor the Mark of the Year and in making the winner a Velocity Points millionaire.

“As the official airline of the AFLW, we are proud to have flown the players and coaches and fans from all 18 clubs to their games across the country this year. A huge congratulations to Matilda for her well-deserved winning mark. We are thrilled to award Matilda with two-million Velocity Points, which is enough Points to redeem return Business Class Reward Seats on our network that includes over 600 destinations around the world”

Scholz’ mark in Week Seven was voted the overall winner by a combination of votes from the AFLW All-Australian Panel and the public.

Members of the public who voted for their favourite mark also went in the running to win $5,000 thanks to Virgin Australia
