Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Brisbane Times report that Sydney Swans forward Charlie Curnow has been awarded a mark that is being discussed as a potential “mark of the year” contender. All three outlets describe the same incident: Curnow makes a leaping attempt during a match against Collingwood and is paid a mark for the contested aerial play. The coverage characterises the mark as controversial, indicating there is debate over the decision, though none of the provided excerpts detail specific reasons for the dispute. The reports focus on the visual impact of the attempt and the fact that the marking call stands, elevating the play into consideration for end-of-season honours. With identical framing across the three sources, the common thread is the credited mark to Curnow in the game versus Collingwood and its status among highlights being circulated as a candidate for “mark of the year.”
