Lachie Hunter’s courageous mark against St Kilda has been nominated for the Four’N Twenty Mark of the Year.

Running back with the flight of the ball in the early stages of Saturday night’s match, Hunter did not take his eyes off the footy once – taking a strong chest mark at full speed.

Hunter's Mark of the Year contender (RD10)

With his hand still in a brace, Lachie Hunter never took his eyes off the ball in this courageous Mark of the Year contender!

He was so determined and focused he even collided with teammate Jason Johannisen in the process, with both luckily avoiding any injury.

Voting is now open at markoftheyear.afl and closes the day before the next round.

All members of the public who cast a vote and pick a weekly winner go into the draw to win $5,000 and a Four’N Twenty pie warmer.

At the end of the home-and-away season, the AFL nominates three marks for public voting to determine the Mark of the Year.
