Selection Process
After each round of the regular AFL season, three "Mark of the Week" nominations are determined by a panel of football experts. The general public can then vote for a weekly winner on the AFL website.
After the regular season's end, the title is given to a single mark, which is chosen by the AFL All Australian selection committee; the public is not given a say in the final outcome. The selection committee is not restricted to choosing a winner from the Mark of the Week winners; indeed, in 2010, the two favourites both came in Round 21, and whereas the public voted Brendon Goddard as Mark of the Week, the selection panel named Jurrah as Mark of the Year. The winner is announced during Grand Final week.

Famous quotes containing the words selection and/or process:
“It is the highest and most legitimate pride of an Englishman to have the letters M.P. written after his name. No selection from the alphabet, no doctorship, no fellowship, be it of ever so learned or royal a society, no knightship,—not though it be of the Garter,—confers so fair an honour.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
