Mark of the Year
Andrew Krakouer flies for a mark in the round nine match against Adelaide in 2011.
Since 2001, the Mark of the Year Award has been run by the AFL and the winner has been selected by public vote.
Originally known as the VFL Mark of the Year and selected by a panel of football experts on Network Seven’s “World of Sport” program, the contest was renamed the AFL Mark of the Year following the competition’s renaming in 1990.
Prior to the official records in 2001, it is largely believed that Bill Picken won the award in 1976 for his launch against St Kilda.
