AFL Legend Leigh Matthews thinks leaping knee-first into a marking contest could be legislated out of the game.
High-flying Magpie Jeremy Howe admits he’d be worried if he was Jamie Elliott that Bobby Hill’s second quarter screamer against North Melbourne might top Elliott’s Anzac Day speccy to win the mark of the year.and stood on teammate Billy Frampton’s and Kangaroos’ defender Charlie Comben’s shoulders to take a remarkable grab.“I’d be nervous if I was Jamie,” Howe said. “I think Bobby’s was better.”
“Maybe not the occasion but even dusted his head as if he hit the roof. It was an impressive grab,” Howe said. “He goes for a few, maybe some unrealistic but that one he managed to stay up, collect it up there and bring it down. It was good to see.” “Oh that was good one wasn’t it,” McRae said of Hill’s mark when asked before making the classic coaching shift to talk about the small forward’s GPS numbers.Advertisement
Hill also managed a brave mark in the dying minutes, which allowed him to kick his fifth goal and give Collingwood the lead once again.
