West Coast fans witnessed a memorable return for Jack Hutchinson, with the high-flying forward earning a Mark of the Year nomination following his courageous effort against the Demons.
Playing his first AFL game of the 2026 season after working his way back from ankle surgery in December, Hutchinson made his presence felt in the final term with a moment of brilliance.
The highlight came early in the fourth quarter with the Eagles trailing. Following a ball-up, Bailey Williams burst through the contest, gathered cleanly from the ruck and drove the ball deep into the pocket.
Launching into the aerial contest, Hutchinson flew bravely over Demon Koltyn Tholstrup to complete a strong mark before steadying and converting the set shot, capping off a superb passage of play.
Fans can support Hutchinson and go into the draw to win the major prize of $5,000 thanks to Virgin Australia.
The major prize winner will be announced at the end of the 2026 Toyota AFL home and away season.
Round nine voting closes 10am Thursday (AEST).
