Bewick's rare air

We can't say that Rohan Bewick "dropped the car" any more because, well, they don't jangle a set of car keys in front of the winner of the AFL Mark of the Year award any more. These days, the award is sponsored by our good friends at Lifebroker and there is cash on the line for the winner. So a more accurate description of what Bewick dropped back in round two against Geelong is a "bundle of cash". And for all the brilliance of the leap and the ride, Bewick was left with a simple chest mark once he was up there. No doubt about it, that ball was right in his breadbasket. He had done all the hard work and by then it was all very straightforward.

Hunter hovers up high

The Bulldog youngster didn't just drop the mark of the year and the aforementioned "bundle of cash", Hunter might have taken the mark of the century had he held on to that, admittedly very difficult, mark against the Dons last Sunday. He was at right angles when he went for it and he appeared to get at least a finger to it, which begs the obvious question: what was the curmudgeonly field umpire thinking by pinging Hunter for making an unreasonable attempt to mark? Not only was it reasonable, such attempts to mark should be highly encouraged and without the risk of an infringement. Boo to you, umpire.
