Leon Davis of Collingwood kicks goal of the year after dispossessing Des Headland.
MATTHEW Lloyd's grab over a pack against Melbourne in round 18 was yesterday named the AFL's mark of the year.
Collingwood's Leon Davis has won goal of the year for his round-22 effort against Fremantle where he dispossessed his opponent and kicked on the run from the boundary, 50 metres out.
The two players will have $5000 each given to the junior club of their choice, and the use of a new Toyota for 12 months.
Lloyd will receive the Alex Jesaulenko Medal and Davis the Phil Manassa Medal.
Yet again, the issue of deliberately rushed behinds has emerged. In a grand final, no less. And this time, no one can argue a case of sour grapes from a loser. Not when the coach of the winning team was himself calling for change.
