That is the sort of mark every person dreams of taking when you play kick to kick with your mates at the park.

Textbook. Awesome.

Just love the split second of hangtime once the mark was taken.

Oxygen sapping at that height!

There are many things about this mark that remind me of Shaun Smith's at the GABBA.

For starters they are both number 29 and they were both taken on their skipper's head.

Such a good mark.

It seemed effortless. He just glided in to the air - it was more of a forwards-upwards floating motion rather than Robbo's heavy-looking straight-up jumps.

Truly awesome.

If this is what Newton can produce in just his 4th game, it looks like we have a decade of highlights in front of us!

Staker was holding his opponent & visa versa, the ball was just about passed him, he stuck out the mitt and took it as cleanly as a whistle, whilst pretty much being parallel to the ground.

Was a great mark as well, but doesn't have the WOW factor of a true speccie. Juice got that one down pat easily.

Definitely the angle on this thread...

I saw it happen at the ground, from just about EXACTLY the same angle as the camera shot we've seen replayed throughout the week. I remember thinking "if this wasn't such a crappy match, and awful time to be a dees supporter I might be more bouyant.

But watching it again and again... it just plain doesn't get any better than that. We over-use the word special, but in this case that's EXACTLY what it was. He even kicked the goal.

The only thing denying it from being perfect was the fact that he was attempting to take it with his hands, which you love to see, but he ended up missing it and taking it on the chest. Not the absolute perfect execution but near enough to it, and technique-wise you can't fault the placement of a single muscle fiber.

My mates and I were all prepared for a 60 point loss, so that highlight was worth the price of admission. I'd missed his first few games of footy because of work committments, and was afraid I'd miss his first bag of 4 or more. I'm just so pleased that after backing him in all year I rocked up and he didn't let me down.

Congratulations Juice... You're well on the way to making hoardes of demons fans (all 17 of them) fall in love with you. Keep working the way you're working and you'll start to hear crowds applauding you en masse, and people cheering your name...

JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the kind of player who is capable of the kind of skills that bring people to MFC matches that don't even barrack for the red and blue.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
