What some of the Essendon fans had to say:
""Mark performed well again this year. His ability to adapt to different roles is handy as are his occasional flashes of brilliance in kicking goals."" (Helen Scully)
""Once again shut down the best small defenders on his day. Needs to work on his discipline. Would love to see him establish himself as a high possession midfielder as his left foot can be damaging."" (Bryan Candy)
""Took on some tough challenges with great success. His stats don't truly reflect the work for the team completed. Has to become more of a team leader as part of the senior group."" (Andrew Grubb)
""Played nearly every game which reflected another consistent year from Mark. Was able to push into more of a midfield role this season, which saw him perform impressively at times. Hopefully he can develop this role even more in 2006 to suit the needs of the side."" (Samuel Wharton)
""Reasonably consistent year although sometimes lack of discipline. Like to see him attacking in the forward line rather than a tagger as it uses his great speed to the benefit of the team."" (Catherine Walker)
""Probably a bit down on other years. Would also like to see him a bit more in the midfield, while blooding other fellas in the backline."" (Jahmin Daga)
