Yeah I'm going for Elliot, only just, because he holds that classic shape for longer but Hill twists off the mark and lands on his feet so balanced.
$$ Nicksters note that if this is going to be a popularity contest, we could be doomed splitting our vote and some terrible tiger or sappy swan mark could win like Stephen Bradbury. Pies we need to be organised to get a winner here.
Look a both of these by themselves and together on the Pies Youtube. It's such a tough call. They both kick the goal, Elliot's much tougher from his MCG pocket but the Pies end in a draw. Hill's shot is far more easy but plenty have missed from there, he goaled with class either way and the Pies hit the front and the Pies won!

last years winner of Mark or the year got a pie warmer, a years supply of pies and a cash payment.
This year, the winner will get $50k and 2 million Virgin frequent flyer points, enough to fly a couple return almost anywhere.
Goal of the year is now sponsored by NAB and the winner gets $50k plus $10k donated to their junior footy club.
This applies to both AFL and AFLW.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
Billy for me. I like to see three elements:
1. Pure leap or spring. No hands allowed (Jack Riewoldt I’m talking to you)
2. Ride, boost, bump, hang (whatever you want to call it)
3. Full stretch. Don’t fly high and take a chest mark.
On my strict judging criteria, both pass points 1 and 2 easily. What splits them for me is Elliot is at full stretch and it’s out in his hands.
Note: I don’t really care how many blokes it’s on top of. More suckers underneath provides a bigger platform but I accept they are all likely to be moving so maybe that makes it more difficult?? I also probably prefer the player to land in a haphazard manner (as opposed to landing sweetly on their feet). Just something more about attacking the contest with reckless abandon and a little more chaos.

It's never as good/nor bad as it seems...
