'Skywalker!' - Round 18, 2011 Wrap

Every clash fought out between raditional rivals Carlton and Essendon always promises to deliver in some form or another. Whilst it didn't so much in terms of it being a close encounter, we were however treated to quite possibly both the goal and mark of the year in the same match, thanks to Betts and Walker!

Betts' solo effort in the forward pocket was an amazing sight. He danced and skipped around 3-4 Essendon players, all of who tried to run him over the boundary, only for Betts to slide through traffic and snap truly.

Betts' goal was only then to be overshadowed by Walker's screamer. What made his mark even more spectacular was that it was taken on the shoulders of Essendon's Carlisle who stands a touch under 200cm! Hard to believe he had the spring to catapult up so high. If the nickname of 'Skywalker' didn't stick before, well it sure will now!
