Is Jesaulenko's mark in 1970 GF the most overrated moment in AFL/VFL history?
No, i think Jezza's mark still deserves its place in history.THE GAME was a 'grand final' between 2 of the VFL's greatest rivals, Carlton were fighting back after being 40 points down at half time, Jezza lead from CHF and took the specie in the middle of the MCG. The Blues had "not" beaten Collingwood during the season, the MCG was packed with a record crowd of more than 100.000, and only Collingwood supporters wanted the Pies to win, and that emotion is expressed in the voice of Channel 7 commentator Mike Williamson, with his call "Jesaulenko you beauty". It was like him supposedly unbiased, but willing the underdog home. Simply too much history, the teams, the venue, the crowd, a grand final, and with the emotion and pion at the time, for that mark to 'ever' be considered overated or possibly equaled !!
