Top 50 AFL Marks of All Time REACTION
![Sean Rii, Karyon, Sharzkii - Taungule [My Love] (Official Music Video)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/eJoMuypbSzQ/mqdefault.jpg)
These were amazing!! If ever there was a video to get me investedfully into AFL, this was it. Such a great selection of videos showing why AFL is such an exciting and technical sport. Can't wait to watch more. What is your favourite mark of all time? What player is known for being the best at marks?
ruclips.net/video/fm-vY-1a7FA/видео.html
This is a compilation of the best marks just from season 2022 put out by the AFL itself. About half of them would usurp in the ones in this video I reckon. Also will give you a up-to-date feel for the game and players. Also you can see that it’s a pretty frequent occurrence in the game. Love your enthusiasm!
I’m Australian and the most entertaining players to watch are probably Dustin Martin, Liam Ryan, Toby Greene (an asshole but a great player), Scott Pendlebury. And when we’re young idk about other clubs but we weren’t trained to land we land how we land haha
that one hand warrick cappa mark is the best i think. Jeremy Howe is the master though.
@@DaDamuse Agreed and Agreed.
G’day from Australia. In a mark the player has to control the ball, if it falls out of his hands after controlling it still counts as a mark.
One of my relatives is called "The Birdman". We asked him ,after getting mark of the year if that was his best.
"No" he said : "I've done better"
He could mark a ball at 14' above ground. They train for it by jumping on huge pads hald by training staff and concentrate on marking the ball. Yes, you must mark it, untouched , and hold it till they hit the ground. They start this, like your footballers, practising skills since children and are very lean, strong muscular guys. Most are nice guys who have girls, wives and kids and are not snobby.
We took a German friend to a game and she was amazed that fans were not segregated. You've just got to be a good sport, win or lose.Glad you enjoy it.
Nice reaction, Mat. The number two mark was clearly the best, and no one disputes that. (Gary Moorcroft played for my team, the BOMBERS, and he is very short, so that was clearly numero uno.) The number 4 mark, by Andrew Walker, was taken over-top of Jake Carlise, who also played for my team, the BOMBERS. Jake is 6'7" in your measurements, so to jump cleanly onto his shoulders was awesome. And Walker had a head injury! And he kicked a goal. That sucked. These guys are proper athletes. To answer your question, "do they practice landing?" Well, it's pretty hard to land on your head like a sack of potatoes, but clearly, practice makes perfect! 🤣So, no, but they are tough and often pretend they're not hurt when in all reality they need an ambulance. Keep up the great work. GO BOMBERS! (Notice the subtle nudge to pick a great team. BOMBERS, BOMBERS.) And Dr. KAP, back off!
Gary Moorcroft, Trevor baker, Stephen silvagni. top 3 finest speccy of all time
Jeremy Howe the 4th best speccy of all time
And Walker didn’t win MOTY smfh
It cost Moorecroft his time at the Bombers,injured his hip never the same again.
There is only one great team. They don’t always win but they are by every other marker, the greatest. 🦢 🦢 🦢
enjoying your reactions to AFL and Australia :)
Thanks mate, appreciate it. I am honestly loving watching the AFL videos. It is an amazing sport. Can't wait until the new season so I can start watching it for real.
The Jonathan Brown or Nick Reiwoldt marks are easily the best running back with the flight giving 0 shits about what's coming the other way and putting everything on the line to get the footy.........it's everything that is great about our game
Back in 60’s & 70’s you had players like Alex Jesaulenko, Dave McKay, Royce Hart & Peter Knights who took speccies all the time. Look for a video called “The Sensational 70’s” I think you might enjoy it.
I’m Aussie and it still fascinates me how high they fall from after a mark, then mostly just get up. I’d end up in hospital if I fell that far onto solid ground lol
I play, and while i don't get nearly as high as the pros, its the adrenaline that saves you from really getting hurt
@@as3editz707 I didn’t know that Re the adrenaline. My brother sister and father went to the footy every week, I’ve been to one match in my life lol, must admit got more into footy watching the reactions from other countries. I even know some of the newer players names, compared to the 60s and 70s when dad and siblings went to the footy and then watched all the replays. I think I missed out on the ‘footy’ gene lol 😆
Basically, you have to demonstrate possession. The ground or even another player can dislodge it, but if at any point you demonstrate possession, the ref can pay it. I like the rule because it encourages that sort of risk-taking
Yep, control of the ball for long enough.
So the team with the red/gold/navy tricolour stripes are the Adelaide Crows, who are my team, and back in the glorious 90s we had a player called Tony Modra who was a marking and goal-scoring machine - he's actually in this compilation three separate times! I practically used to worship him when I was little, and I'm still in awe of him even now. Still a little heartbroken that he couldn't play in our two premierships, but he'll always be one of the greats. Love the video, keep enjoying our beautiful game!
You made this Aussie laugh mate. Good content and glad you like our game.
Love that you stopped to appreciate the commentary on the Jesaulenko mark. That phrase; Oooh, Jesaulenko you beautyyyy....has become entrenched into Aussie vernacular. Basically for whenever anyone does anything spectacular and exciting 😂
Wait till you see the top 50 goals . You have by far picked up the nuances of the game better than any other reactor .
Jeremy Howe played for Melbourne (Demons) and now plays for Collingwood (Magpies). He has an amazing leap and has been taking amazing marks his entire footy career.
He's definitely a freak of a mark
Good onya mate. Great video.
That #2 (backwards horizontal in air) gets me every time.
Massive Essendon fan and Gary’s mark was so good at number 2. He is a legend!
@@dickwilliam3793 ok buddy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@dickwilliam3793 keep trolling 🤣 I feel sorry that you felt it necessary to make that comment. Are you ok?
I was at that game and he took mark after mark on his opponent. He never played better or climbed that high again. I suspect he sustained a permanent injury from that one falling backwards, although that was never admitted
@@dickwilliam3793 Clown
@@stevelozevski8151 It seems Brad Johnson is using an alias 😂
Loving your enthusiasm!
Hmmm… renaissance paintings 🤔 that’s a new one 😂
Someone else mentioned that Jeremy Howe must be one of the most consistent players to take marks & I agree completely. He seems to do it so effortlessly.
Great reaction mate, I’ve watched a lot of these and some of the things you say show a lot more insight than most others.
Look I’m sure 10 others would’ve explained it to you but I can’t be bothered reading other comments so I’ll tell you just in case. It is considered a mark if you control the ball, that in most cases means stopping it dead, even if it then spills out. There are two in here that probably shouldn’t have been paid, one was number three the Ablett one and the silvagni one which was approximately number 20. Keep watching it mate, greatest game in the world.
So loved seeing your reaction to these, Mat! Brilliant to see you feature AFL-it’s an incredible game. My 19yo son @RilesMacca has an amazing AFL RUclips channel if you want to learn more about it-he even does historical videos on the game. Not many people know that this code was actually derived from an Indigenous Australian ball game called Marngrook 😊
A man from England watched AFL first time last year as a RUclips sports reaction. This year he and his wife came to Aus and saw grandfinal and game before. He and his wife went to Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. He’s hooked - be careful 😂
I only like these short vids. My whole family love footy except me lol. My dad went every single week when it was VFL, not AFL. with my brother and sister before dad passed. I only just noticed in slow motion they usually catch/mark the ball with 2 hands, then hug it with one hand, hit the ground, then roll.
Ok every Aussie here probably knows this. I couldn’t see that at normal speed. Only slow motion. Yes I’m a born and bred 3 gen Aussie, ancestors from Scotland, yes I have red hair😂
I played till I was 46... in 5 decades school football in 60's thru to 2000... love the game and camaraderie of a club and fans
Historic footage showing SAME PLAY is one thing I love about AFL.
The two teams jumpers your were commenting upon, Adelaide and Western Bulldogs, couldn't represent two more different communities. That aside, you'd have to go for the dogs (blue, white and red), they represent a working class multi-ethnic community, with their base in the inner west of Melbourne. They also do a lot of work in the community, running a free community health program similar to that run by Liverpool FC. I'm not a Bulldogs supporter, but I've much respect for the work they do in the community and they're a much loved club, even by opposition supporters, as it's not uncommon to have a second team, mainly as say your team might not be having a great season, you can then live vicariously through your number two team, especially when it comes to finals and your team doesn't make it. That said, you don't change teams, ever. You might have a different number two, but there's only ever one number one. Go Tigers!
Adelaide represents the whole state, a state of battlers compared to the silver spoon vics
Still respect to the doggies, true battlers
Hahahahaha 😂 Your reactions are priceless! You HAVE to come over for a Grand Final….you would love it. Keep it up, excellent work 🎉
Well gang we've done it, another international fan 👍😂
Ur the most observant reactor to this yet! First one to notice the flash of the camera on number one. That photo taken by spectator at that second was one of the things that made this one special as well as the occasion. Even though not the craziest looking mark
The renaissance analogy was next level . You're a thinker for sure . Cheers
Number 4 is Andrew Walker from Carlton football club who I barrack for. He was known for doing the most amazing marks in the air so fans affectionately started calling him Skywalker 😆
Excellent reactions, made even more special by that accent. Awesome comparison of this sport to a renaissance painting. I am now a subscriber.
In answer to your questions:
I would have Gary Moorecroft's (#2) mark as #1.
Yes, kids practice taking a "speck" (spectacular mark) from an early age. A common playground activity at lunchtime is "kick to kick", where you have two packs of kids separated by the length of a kick and they take turns kicking and marking the ball between the two groups. If you land awkwardly, you can get the wind knocked out of you.
To be judged a mark, the umpire has to decide that you have "controlled" the ball. If it jostles out when you hit the ground, that us ok, as long as it was controlled before that. There is no rule about how many seconds you have to hold it or anything like that. By the way, I don't think Garry Ablett's mark (#3) should have been paid. Greta effort, but not controlled in my opinion.
When it is close to the goal line, the player has to complete the mark without the ball completely crossing the goal line. If they fumble it and control it after it crosses the line, that is a behind (1 point).
Yes, there are certain players that have a knack for speckies and Jeremy Howe was one of them.
Nothing like getting spectacularly tea-bagged in front of tens of thousands of people to bring a dark cloud to your sunny day.
West Coast's Nic Naitanui is known as the High Flier for a reason :P Man can freaking fly
The high-flying Mark is definitely the thing that separates our sport from others. But check out a goal video, 'Goals of the decade' is one of my favourite
Burton was called birdMan throughout his career bcos he made a habit of taking speccies. Jeremy Howe was the same. The second of Burton's marks was also taken over Kurt Tippet who is 6'8 but was playing for the Adelaide Crows then & Sydney Swans later on where the Ottens mark occurred.
Adelaide Crows is the team with the colour strips.
Best mark imo is Nick Riewoldt, number 6 in the list, for the speed and courage running with the flight into who-knows-what, eye only on the ball, kept control at all times, twist mid air and crashing into the guy helps the case too. All good marks (agree with below that Ablett mark was not a mark), but some pretty average. Number one on the list I’ve never understood. This video is pretty old. We had a lot of great marks last season, more than the average amount each year, and from memory the year before. The guy who keeps popping up is Jeremy Howe, plays for the Pies now. The other guy featuring a lot, the Crows player (the red, yellow, blue strip), is Tony Modra, aka Godra. Legend. Type of player you enjoy watching whoever you barrack for. Moorcroft mark pretty damn good. The short guy at the end.
Riewoldt's mark is fantastic, one of my favourites.
The number 1 mark was judged 'Mark of the Century' (last Century) by an expert panel and is one of the best ever imo. He's up so high, a 6 footer climbing on a 6'4" team mate (Lyon) with almost straight legs, with his feet on the shoulder blades of Lyon, probably over 50" vertical, there's only been a handful of marks that I can remember that have been just as high, Sampi's (No.7) is close but he had some help from Russel Robertson to get there.
@@off1k Yeah, I know Smith’s mark was judged mark of the century, but I wouldn’t call it as spectacular as most of the marks. on this list. I’d judge it, highest vertical then I guess. Not sure it is though. It’s like Shai Boston’s mark a couple seasons back. Got up very high, but wasn’t as spectacular because he landed on his feet (which is good for him getting up that high). If we were going best mark, we might technically go for a leading forward arms out in front, clunk it cleanly Carey-style. Mark of the Century should see some horizontal air or stepladder action, no thought but for getting the pill, and should look like painful. Gotta earn it. Those are my criteria, but to each his own!
@@cajoz
This reminds me of 2016 MOTY.
Majak Daw getting up so high and landing on his feet but I personally thought Rory Lobb would of got it that year but nope. He put his body on the line leaping into a pack of players and crashing into Menzel in flight, great courageous mark.
Mark no. 27 is Warwick Capper, a flamboyant former player for the Sydney Swans (you should barrack for them! Power club.). Wazza as he is known was a prolific goalkicker and one of the most consistent 'speccy' (spectacular mark) takers in the AFL. An under rated player because off the field he can be a bit of a douchebag. He certainly made his 'mark' on the game.....and yes, Jeremy Howe is a specialist at the speccy! BTW, the flash you noticed in the background of the No. 1 mark....they eventually tracked that lady down and the picture she took got published. It was a top shot.
Yeah, that mark they called the mark of the 20th century. It was a mark right in the last minute of the game, unfortunately they were the losing side.
I love your comments, it's truely a unique game, the funny thing is , women around the world love to play it as well!
I would never have called the Ablett 'mark' a mark because you have to control the ball all the way to the ground, and he didn't. Also, most of these 'marks' would not count these days because you aren't allowed to put your hands on an opponents back whilst going for the mark. But because marks like these are so spectacular the umpires allow a little room.
Most of these marks are taken ‘these days’. As for using the hands, only Brad Ottens in this compilation is guilty of assisting his lift with his hands.
@@jamesdean2185 That Shultz mark was taken behind the goal line and would never have been granted today.
The team you said took a lot of screamers are the Adelaide Crows. They had a player a few years ago called Eddie Betts who was a freak of nature. He'd always come out of nowhere, mark some unmarkable ball and then kick a goal with it. Absolute loose unit. If you like this and can find an Eddie compilation I'd recommend. He was one of the best in the business in recent years.
Loved your comments and reactions to our AFL. These guys truly are legends in sport. Really loved your comments re the older B&W clips... the players then played they full game, unless they were injured and had to come off field. Many were just bandaged up and still kept playing. These players were way fit, and fu of stamina and endurance, more so than today, where they will kick a goal and then be off field and resting. Compare these AFL boys flying the the air and falling to the ground, to the professional soccer players, who roll and play act, when they get a bump. Absolutely, it is real man's football. And the Big Men Fly...... ❤️🇦🇺
There's so much skill and finesse and a little brute force. Really is the best all round sport.
Thanks for reacting to our great game, My Nana was scottish from Culloden, great to hear your accent
9:47 Agree, Capper's mark should be a lot higher, top 10 for me from this list.
10:50 The old players are not as fit as today and modern players are far taller compared to the B&W days, even compared to 80's players they're still fitter and taller.
The last 5 or 6 years has been great for marks, I would replace about 20 from this list with recent marks.
the renaissance painting remark 👌🏻🤣 totally agree.
You're 100% right about the technical aspects of the game. You've got to be able to kick, bounce, handball, mark, tackle and run. None of it is easy, especially when you've got a monster chasing after you trying to bury you in the turf. Lol
When you start watching games, you'll be amazed at the skill and speed of the game, and not just speed of foot, but speed of thought. You've got so little time to dispose of the ball that if you wait a split second too long, you're fucked.
This video is a little old now and misses some incredible marks. Check out the AFL's best of the decade series. Outstanding.
Keep up the great work champ!
You loved the Warwick Captain one. No. 27. I think that was called Mark of century or something... and the bloke is a character lol
I recommend looking up Roy Cazaly on wikipedia. It has the picture of one of the most iconic marks of all time.
Technically if you "control" the ball while in the air it is called a mark (up to the ref). Once you hit the ground it is understood that the ball can come loose from a tough fall.
Sometimes marks are paid just because of the spectacle of the act.
There are a few here that I don't reckon should've been paid.
Ablett definitely wasn’t a mark
Notice number one mark, a person in the crowd took a great photo! There are images of that guys photo, and it’s perfect timing too! 😊
Good on ya, mate. Nice reaction. Technically, if the umpire deems the player has had control of the footy before it is dislodged from his hands when he hits the ground it is judged a mark before impact.
Tony Modra of the Adelaide Crows (the ones with the outfit you like) we was reknown for climbing on people's backs to get a great mark.
We're proud Aussies & we're proud of our sports 🇦🇺 😊!
I am really, really enjoying watching you enjoy our great sport. The speccies/screamers are unquestionably the most spectacular part of the sport (some might say of ANY sport), but make sure you watch and react to the top 50 goals too, just as skillful and spectacular in their own way. My personal favourite mark is Moorcroft's (should be number one), and I think the bloke that did it most consistently is actually Jeremy Howe. He's still playing, although he's getting on a little and doesn't do it with the seemingly ridiculous ease and regularity he used to. I think there's a highlights video of him around somewhere. But anyway, keep it up!!
Oh, and I meant to say, that's the first time I've ever heard anyone liken these big grabs to renaissance paintings!
Jeremy Howe is bloody amazing!
Nice video mate. This one is a few years old, there’s plenty of great marks from the last 5 or so years that missed out.
Keep in mind also that AFL matches were only 100% televised from around 2000 - in the 90s and beforehand there were only 1-2 games videoed per week in full, so plenty of marks weren’t captured on video.
The high marks are great, but as a lifelong footy fan, my favourite highlights are the best goals, they are insane.
What you also have to remember is the continual pressure and pace of the game...it doesn't slow down till the final siren... they are no doubt the fittest athletes that play sport. Some midfielders can travel a half marathon jogging sprinting tackling chasing being chased.... you should watch a whole game preferably a finals game not necessarily a grand final....at the MCG Cheers
The rule is that you have to have control of the ball before you loose it due to landing. That number 3 was controversial at the time. Ablett was well know for his great marking ability and sometimes because of this he was awarded marks that others would not have. If you look at it in slow you can see the ball hitting his arm but he did not have control. Also you have a ground length of 160mtrs from goal to goal and back then only 2 umpires. Making it hard for an umpire to keep up with the play that can move that distance in 5-10 seconds when moving quickly.
Your favourite in the Red and White was Warrick Capper. A blonde pretty boy who was hated by as many as he was loved by
That last mark, the person that took the photo, they found that person, got the photo and had it framed
Where you were talking about the player being emasculated, Brad Ottens (marker) was 6'7 & the fellow he sat on top of, Kurt Tippet was 6'8. The fellow you said was about 6'5 is also 6'7, that's Joey Daniher. The black guy with the dreadlocks is Nic Natanui, another 6'7 dude & he appears twice.
Enjoy your reactions! 👍
Best reaction to this video ever, and I've watched many
Glad this put the fire in your belly for our great game. These screamers are a big part of the excitement for the fans. You may not have one in every game, but there is maybe one per round of this type of quality so when they occur the crowd goes mental.
I respect Gary Moorecroft at #2 as a Carlton supporter. I actually think it should have been #1, and there are plenty of people in the AFL community who think the same because it is all 'in the grab' and it was virtually perfection in how it stuck to his fingers. What was given as #1 was a bit lacklusture in comparison but still worth a top 10 position due to the height. For the record, Abblett's at #3 was a definite non-mark, never controlled the ball at any time. #4 of course is a favourite of mine due to the effortlessness of it.
Love your passion with our game
9:36 Classic grand final and classic mark!
when a mark is taken and then when they hit the ground lose it, it depends how long they have held onto the ball before losing it and you must have not let it go before you land on the ground yourself. The team with the colourful striped shirts is the Adelaide Crows, my favourite team, were at their best in the days of Anthony Modra and co back in the 80's.
one of the important things to know is if these guys go up for the mark on the opponents and push backs shoulders etc and don't actually mark the ball a free kick can be awarded against them. So that adds more pressure on them to get it right
Number 6 Adelaide, Modra was spectacular to watch.
At 3.14 Brad Ottens who is 6' 8", jumped above other players to take the mark.
How GOOD!!! Go AFL…..GARY MORCROFT…..Super….little MAN! Far out. Glad you love watching our national sport. Peace bruv!
Love your reaction ..
Around Mark 8 I realised you are hooked. Anyone who can wax lyrical about a mark like that lol
You don’t usually feel the landing but when you do !!!!
Love people finally seeing AFL as the best sport!😊
Mark is when the umpire said you had control of the ball so it can be punch out or hit the ground but if you had control of the ball it's a mark called by the umpires
You’re supposed to hang on to it,but sometimes the impact can make the ball come out of your grip then it’s up to the umpire to determine if it’s a mark or not you’ll see that in some of these marks.Alberts mark against Collingwood is a prime example ( for me it wasn’t a mark)
Albert??? Ablett... Yeah it was a mark, he grabbed it with his left hand and it switched to his right arm where it was nestled against his body, THEN he hit the ground where it bounced out. That is a mark, he had control of it before he hit the ground.
I'm an Essendon fan btw, I'm not a one-eyed Geelong supporter.
Ablett of course should have had the specs on,still for me a very dubious call.And I’m a Saints fan …..
If you control and catch the ball whether you’re in the air or on the ground, then it’s a mark. These are just a fancy way of doing it and are called a “specky”.
Footy was a "blue collar" sport, so back in the 80's the players were labourers on constructions sites, miners, trench diggers etc. Their job chiseled their body to what you see in the video. Back then there wasn't enough money in the sport to pay the players enough every week that they didn't need to work a normal job, and employers would let them have time off as required for games in other cities and training in the evenings, because guys were playing for the local team who everyone cheered for.
They also use to drink beer at half time, diets didn't exist back then, training was running while dragging a tire behind them on the beach etc.
From what I was taught by Rowan Sawers (first umpire to officiate in over 400 games), a Mark is taken when 1) the ball has been kicked off the foot (foot being below the knee) and has traveled a distance more than 15 meters, 2) has been caught and not touched by another player, and 3) held onto for a reasonable amount of time (that time to be determined by the umpire).
#3 has always been controversial, because the umpire paid the mark to the player, but there was no reasonable amount of time that Ablett held onto the ball.
That guy Burton is him. Birdman.
They have to be tough to play Aussie Rules football. One player, Leigh Matthews ran into the post and broke it in half while trying to get the ball.
As long as the umpire deems you had full control of the ball a mark is payed.
The mark you said should be framed in his house…I actually have framed and signed by him at my parents house 😂😂
hahaha! renaissance footy! You will forever now be known as Scotty. Not just because I have a tartan.
You only have to have a good solid grab for a few seconds in a contest
It's up to umpires interpretation of the rule if it's a mark
But if it's uncontested and you drop the ball umpire will,call play on want award a mark
For landing it depends on how you come off the person your jumping up or over is how the landing happens
So you don't really know how you'll land until your jumped and coming down
But most times you'll see they turn their body's and land on shoulder or get arm out to cushion the fall
The one that hurt are when landing on your back knocks the wind out of you takes a few min to get breath back it's like you can't breath
Mainly torn muscles and joints are common injuries like shoulder joints knees and ankle joint hamstrings are common or a corky
Which is a big hit to a muscle and its bleeding underneath looks like massive bruise they ice to,stop swelling and bleeding
But if not to bad they keep you running or it'll get sore and sieze up very painful takes a week or two to get over it depending on how bad
Their are broken bones but not that common a few snapped legs flopping around collar bones ribs you'll notice some playing have strapping on that to stop joint from com out and strengthen shoulders knees ankles are common after operations as most are subject to popping out so taping helps to strengthen joints but does restricts movement why players wont tape before injury
If you see a clean bandge normal happened in game like the guy who takes Mark his heads bandged that would've happen in game
But pretty rare only one person from memory ever been paralysis
I'm not sure about deaths none in main game that I know of
In miner league has been some a young lad dropped dead on field while playing but it wasn't from a injury a couple of years ago
Also someone was struck by lightning so games now stop if lightning happens we used to just continue to play
I think the person died from lightning in a minor league not even sure if footy or another sport
But all sport maditary stops if lightning happens
Cheers mate love your passion 🇦🇺👍
There's never a stupid question it's the only way you'll know is by asking and most Aussie will help
The team clours you like is one of my home teams Adelaide crows and we have port power
The city is Adelaide there's always damage when playing against each other
Crows are the richer team and more supporters where power is working class and less followers but as noisy if not louder then most
Players don't care it's part of game jumping on your back it's expected
18:32 is what I'd put best ever and was obviously a mark to all the doubters also
It's all about control.
Garry Abletts mark was controlled which was not shown on the camera. Him landing awkwardly made the ball drop out.
No. 2 should have been number 1.
Shaun Smith at #1, he was always in the air. Some people just have the ability to launch and keep going up. Some of these would be 9ft (3m) high at the highest point.
If I was the umpire, I would not have paid Gary Abletts mark.
They just have to catch and hold for a few seconds to count as a mark. Look at how grumpy the player jumped on looks. Kids don’t do that early but they are trained towards it.
Watch the song played before every Grand Final. It was written about Roy Cazaly, one of our greats and before my time. He was amazing and there are some great marks in it.
Wait ‘til 2023 mate! Go the Carlton Blues!
Once an umpire has deemed a player has taken control of the ball during a mark then it's paid a mark. Prior to 1990 players were semi professional training Tuesday and Thursday then playing on Saturday and the grounds were not maintained well back then so at times it could feel like landing on concrete but now they are fully professional train 5 day's a week have club Doctors there and the grounds are kept in perfect condition M.C.G and Marvel Stadium in Melbourne two grounds in New South Wales three in Queensland and another two in Adelaide, Western Australia and Tasmania and one in the Northern Territory game started in 1858 there are just a few facts about the game
The person who took the photo in the crowd for the No. 1 mark posted the photo online a few yrs ago and it's a ripper.
the only people that think Ablett controlled that mark are Geelong fans and the umpire. Lol but for effort we give it to the ol man.
A mark in Australian rules football is the catch of a kicked ball which earns the catching player a free kick. The catch must be cleanly taken, or deemed by the umpire to have involved control of the ball for sufficient time. - Wikipedia
Well done my favourite flyer was tony modra ….the crows….I hated the crows
I hate AFL ,but your excitement for this is infectious lol 😆
I dont believe there is any pain management training, I think just the adrenaline of performing the mark in front of up to 100000 ppl keeps them motivated to spring back up.
its a mark if the player is in control of the ball. If something external, like hitting the ground or another player knocks the ball out of your hands, but you're otherwise in control, its still a mark.
Mark No. 4 was my fav.
Number 2 was definitely the best it also ended his courier he landed badly on his hip
God I love this game, come on universe get on board!
If a player controls the ball through the air after catching it is considered a mark as the referees understand a hard fall will pop the ball out of someones hand regardless of the players strength and grip, The "unnoficial" reason is because the fans would riot and the referee would probably be out of a job if they didn't award this kind of exceptional play 😜
Also, if you recklessly go for a screamer like this and miss the ball they give a free kick to the defender because you "pushed him out of the play". (basically a push in the back foul)
