I’m having Mark Fraser ahead of Jamar. The Russian only played 5 games for us.
Don’t forget Mark Alvey
Nah i just meant his run-up started from a long way back.

Yep, good call.
I mentioned Dunstall in response to someone mentioning Lloyd as the best hands ever.
Dunstall just never fumbled on the lead.
Madden - easily the best mark by a bomber I have witnessed.
Frank Dunell took an unbelievable mark at Windy Hill in a reverses game that defied logic.
Blethyn was great to watch and took some rippers.
But for consistency Vander Haar was sensational!

Having seen Coleman I would dispute that.

What about Mark My Words?
I do get a bit cryptic at times.
Nah.
Otherwise you’d have been referring to him as
Slim Cash Money.
Surprising for a guy that played a bit of footy and with his leap and hands Hardingham never won even an EFC MOTY or took a really memorable one.
I remember one game at Etihad at around centre wing-half back he jumped on about 3/4 players heads from nowhere, Andrew Walker/Sampi (or Francis on Ryder)-esque and just punched the ball 10 rows back. I remember one of the commentators joking that he should have taken what was in the end an easy mark and it would have been unforgettable.
Special mention to Jordan Houlahan for his VFL MOTY. Absolutely massive.
Bonus points for being against the Northern (Fark Carlton) Blues.

Basically the same size as Coleman (+1cm, +1kg) so this is the closest most of us mortals have come to that easy-soaring greatness.
