Sydney Swans midfielder Luke Parker is one of three players in the running to win the Round 12 nomination for this year's AFL Mark of the Year.

Parker flew in from the side of a pack during the second quarter of last weekend's win against the Western Bulldogs, plucking the football with one hand, gathering the footy in the other before, in one fluent motion, playing on to keep the Swans moving forward.

It was a brilliant piece of play and just another example of Parker's athleticism and abilities in the air.

Before Monday, he'd be in with a shot of taking out the nomination.

But then along came Jeremy Howe.

Howe's Queen's Birthday screamer will take some beating but Sydney Swans supporters can give it a shake by heading to AFL.com.au's Mark and Goal of the Year hub and voting for the superstar midfielder.

Voting closes at midnight on Thursday.

It's the third time a high-flying Swan has been plucked as the top three marks from a respective round, following on from Callum Sinclair and Callum Mills's efforts earlier in the season.
