Who’s your club’s jack in the pack?

[ReturningHawk]

Calsher Dear’s couple of classic catches against Carlton got me wondering who are the best leapers across the competition?

Howe, Heeney, Bolton, Reid are some names that come to mind - who takes the most/best speccies for your club, and who does it best full stop?

was so good, although probably less speckies and more just ridiculous contested marks. Weightman is one that can do it a bit for us but he's been injured - the one he took on Max Gawn

in 2021 was very good, in the wet.

We don't really have any others that spring to mind.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Jamie Elliot.



Essendon don’t really have anyone that comes to mind maybe Durham?

 

[Orfullrules]

Duursma can take one on the wing. Then spends the rest of the game getting rub downs, then out for three weeks.

 

[voorhees]

not my club...but Howe was the man at it.
Age might have slowed that down now, and that arm injury come down from getting to high

 

[Scythe]

Pickett certainly flies for the most, but IIRC, he's pulled down a grand total of two for his career (both this year).

 

[Orange crush]

no one in our team can mark

 

[voorhees]

for Richmond Bauer try's to win mark of the year in each VFL game he plays.
Doesn't mark many, but he frustratingly try's each week.

 

[Sttew]

Ollie Dempsey at Geelong threatens to be our candidate

 

[Alex_au]

no one in our team can mark

I always thought in my head that Himmelberg went alright in that department.

 

[lalorGOAT]

Taj Hotton has played 2 games and already taken a screamer on a ruckman. Watch this space.

 

[Orange crush]

I always thought in my head that Himmelberg went alright in that department.

Nah, he's pants

, or Dewar Leaper as Dwayne likes to put it.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Both Lohmann and Rayner love a screamer.

 

[Plugger35]

Cooper Sharman has taken some good high flying marks for us but Tauru will probably overtake him soon as our no.1 high flyer.

 

[Big Animal]

Fyfe used to. No one now. But Howe was consistently best at it. Dude is living in a different gravity.

Only Henry can really be found in packs though, unless I've misunderstood the thread title.

 

[longdonkey]

Georgiades is by far the best at Port.

 

[RUNVS]

Probably Heeney. Very strong marker of the ball and has quite a leap on him sometimes too.

 

[ReturningHawk]

Probably Heeney. Very strong marker of the ball and has quite a leap on him sometimes too.

Not sure if that’s a deliberate understatement. He has a massive leap and the mark he pulled down against GWS last year was one of the best I’ve seen. I loved Bolton’s a few years ago as well. I just love a jack-in-the-box player. He and Isaac have that incredible ability to seemingly get way up high without needing the run up. They just go up vertically. Jeremy Howe of course was probably the GOAT.
