Which Bulldog could take the best speccy?

[bulldogtragic]

Something off topic of games, and a little fun, through the course of our club's history, who would you say was the very best player in the art of the speccy?

Monty hands down. Or hands up as the case may be. Crozier is a serious challenger as was Matty Robbins. Of the oldies Rance could latch onto them.

Looking forward to Naughton dragging down a few genuine pack speccies.

Early Montgomery for me. Hopefully Naughton by the end of his career.

Merv Hobbs mark was a ripper.

Monty certainly produced the most over a career that I can remember.

Easton's efforts in 2016 were spectacular.

But what Crozier produced against Collingwood was one of the most extraordinary marks from any Bulldog I've ever seen.

Its exceptionally rare that I jump off the couch at home when I'm watching the football. That mark had me out of my seat.

Here are some great marks:

Of all the marks in this compilation, the one I remember most vividly is Hawkins' mark at 1:20.

I would have been around 7 or 8, I was standing at the Geelong Road end, and I distinctly remember wondering who Kellett had kicked the ball to as it looked to be going straight down the StKilda player's throat.

Then Dougie comes flying out of absolutely nowhere and sticks the mark.

Here are some great marks:

Don't know why Liam Jones's dropped mark is in there. Surely not one of the greats if you clearly drop it on the replay

Was it paid a mark?

If it was, it's probably similar to Ablett's "mark" of the century.

Chris Grant used to hurl himself at the footy at pace and really crash and bash. Bloody underrated as a CHF.

Surprised not to see Bob Murphy's excellent mark against Hawthorn in 2008 at Launceston not included.

Thanks BAD. Classic speccy from a very unlucky non-All Australian from that year.
