2017 AFL Mark of the Year

Main article: Mark of the Year

The Australian Football League celebrates the best mark of the season through the annual Mark of the Year competition. In 2017, this is officially known as the Woolworths AFL Mark of the Year. Each round three marks are nominated and fans are able to vote online for their favourite. The winner was Essendon's Joe Daniher, which surprised many fans and media personal who expected Jeremy Howe of Collingwood to win the award for his screamer against Melbourne in round 12.^[1][2] Following the shock win, Collingwood's president Eddie McGuire said that the voting system for Mark of the Year needs an overhaul.^[3]
