COLLINGWOOD players Paul Medhurst and Cameron Wood both took strong marks in the Anzac Day match against Essendon and have both been nominated for the Toyota AFL Mark of the Year.
Medhurst was on fire all day and received his nomination during the third quarter for his giant leap and mark in the goal square. Wood received his nomination for a courageous mark in the third quarter where he ran back with his eyes solely on the ball to take a brilliant grab in front of a pack of players.
Pies’ fans can view and vote for their favourite mark at www.afl.com.au/markgoal. Voting is open from the Monday after each round through to the following Sunday night.
