Moorcroft Mark Of The Year 2001 - Full Video

[@peps1mega]

I'm still backing this mark as the best of all time.

@M AFL is the most important sport. AFL is getting more popular all around the world while soccer is declining and failing miserably

[@Bullitt64]

fantastic commentary. What an incredible mark

[@tommywm24]

This will always be the greatest mark of all time.

[@nirmalchand3950]

wilburjmc what's close then?

[@Thediamondduck11]

Nothing. Keep in mind he stretched out after jumping on his back.

[@cameronjones7240]

Yep - best mark of modern era. I say that because of the difficulty - that kick from Lucas was moving low and fast (and wobbly), Moorcroft too was charging at it fast. A lot of great marks have the ball 'hanging' and plenty of time for . Smiths vs Bris, Walkers vs Ess, G.Ablett Snr vs Coll, Silvangis vs Nth spring to mind as getting close but they were marking a higher slower ball.

[@samb8744]

This is the best. Riewoldts running-back mark against the swans where he literally could’ve died is a close second for me.

[@costanzo6770]

@@samb8744 And now another Riewoldt's done that against the Crows, yet this is still easily the greatest mark of all tiime

This is the first ever video I've seen of Australian football. And I must say it's awesome! From the USA

@MANCHESTER UNITED What's your problem man?... I have seen this message on a few videos... So what if people like different sports..

That's like Pavarotti being the first person you ever hear singing after a lifetime of deafness.

My friend, you will not see better.... little man taking a 'towering mark'

[@braevujanic336]

22 years on and nothing is close to this masterpiece!

[@Andylinx1]

It sucks that this mark basically ended his career. He had severe hip troubles after this and never fully recovered. He will forever be remembered for this mark, but also cut short his career. The irony.

[@rawprawn8198]

@MANCHESTER UNITED Well obviously the softies and effeminate boys need something to do. Thats why soccer was invented!

[@Havencheese]

@Alex F Nah it's cactus man, it's a big money sport full of laundered money sugardaddies and pampered millionaires. For decades I used to absolutely love it til wankers like this guy came along and bandwagoned on big clubs and when these entitled idiots team don't win, they sook. It's okay at the lower leagues and non league but at the top it's always the same teams buying all the talent. Boring.

[@coolcoconuts4453]

It does suck but at the same time, I think I would be happy with a shortened career because I took a mark that fucking spectacular

[@electricmaster23]

I’d take the immortalisation over a couple more years playing in the AFL.

[@212mochaman]

Whether this is the greatest mark of all time or not this is BY FAR the highlight of the great man's commentary career. Bruce was never better than in these 4 minutes

[@FilipinoMHB]

This should have more views, from geelong fans! Love Bruce commentating though

It must be a 'Melbourne thing', Bruce is the reason I don't watch the game anymore...and whenever he's calling the tennis, I don't watch that either. He's nauseating

[@Bonkatsu12]

Not a Melbourne thing. A lot of people dislike him for no good reason. I like him. So much genuine love and passion for sport. Got to admire that.

Greatest mark ever taken. The end. If you don't understand the degree of difficulty of this, not discussing. It's not up for debate

[@KingdomOfApple]

Moorcroft Mark of the Year 2001 - 2101.

[@watchettv]

mark of the century right here

[@onarass]

I remember watching this when I first moved to tassie. Went for the bombers because a friend of mine went for them. This was my first season of AFL I had watched. God this was awesome I love AFL. Just an amazing mark.

[@javatreecko]

2020: Still the greatest mark ever

[@jonathanlee2995]

Its a mongrel kick too they're hard to catch the mongrels

[@mrpuniverse2]

It also had the rare moment too that Scott Lucas kicked with his right foot. Greatest mark ever I was there behind the goals and chatting to a couple of blokes from the UK as the international series was being played at that time and they were there and it was a great moment Right foot Lucas greatest mark Moorcroft who injured his back after that was never the same player but the mark will go down in history

[@ramyahagas8506]

what a mark!!!!!!

[@VenusSnow23]

SENSATIONAL!!!!!!!! Chills 19 years later

[@chriskelly5102]

Still pretty good 22 years later

[@TheMemeMachineMatt]

2021 here. 20th anniversary since this happened. Still the best mark of all time. Iconic.

[@wheelson7895]

Nothing will ever top that

[@zanky81]

There was a book of all time marks. There was a couple of great photos of J Coleman and Ron Todd. It was printed in 1996. Best to look for it in 2nd hand book stores. You are right is a pity we did not have video coverage of those days. Or more of it.

[@jhk22]

20 years ago today, still the best mark

[@joshuatreebje]

It actually did get shown on cnn!

[@888stevieg]

@nickycooks the term mark is derived from the native australian(aboriginal) word 'markee' which means, to catch something :)

[@sidneygahrig1927]

Forever the best mark of all time. Greetings from 🇩🇪 Footy❤❤

[@sansabastian]

OMG, Lucas has a right foot!!

[@mickyv437]

How’s the stat line? 6 goals from 11 kicks with no handballs. Love it

[@dale_roots]

Remember watching this on TV. Absolutely the best mark ever taken.

[@17thknight]

I watched a final a few years back when it was televised in the US and it was an absolute blast, I love the sport and so does everyone I introduce it to!

[@CaptainArn]

Still the best mark of all time. To this day

[@vittoriospina5418]

To me it's the greatest mark ever purely because of his height.. 9 feet in the air and for a bloke who's 5 feet 7 at best? Just incredible..

[@17thknight]

US fan, and this is my favorite mark of all time.

[@MrTheodosios]

It was a mongrel kick but how do you mark the mongrels?

[@DavidoffProductions]

What. A. Mark.

[@DanielFigueroaPalomo]

Dermie enjoyed every minute of it.

[@lukastar12]

stilll havent seen a mark to beat it and its 12 years later and the passion in bruce mcavaneys voice makes it ''SPECIAL''..

2021 season came and went. Still the greatest mark of all time

[@timbyrne242]

I loathe Essendon with every fibre of my being, and this is still the greatest mark in the history of Australian Rules football. I remember being at a pub and there were two roars. The first when the people watching live saw the mark, and the second when everyone else turned their heads and saw the replay.

[@danielstephens9748]

Smack on...the greatest of all time... and there have been plenty...Peter Boususto...sean smith...Jezza'

Was that Dermie in the box with Bruce? Was he blind? Gold.

[@buddyhugehuge]

@mikeFrze from a kick (not a handball)

[@jakubwidlarz]

How much would I give to hear a QuadCall of this.

[@Rapsciddy31]

Is this the greatest catch in sport history? OBJ’s catch is on a similar level in the NFL, Yuvraj Singh, Jonty Rhodes, Steve Smith, Paul Collingwood and Glenn Maxwell all have some contenders in Cricket Tyree’s Helmet Catch and Edelmen’s bobble catch were on a larger stage. So was Flyin’ Ryan’s in 2018, setting up Sheed. There’s a few more in footy that could bark up the same tree; Andrew Walker, Shaun Smith, Nick Riewoldt, Jonathan Brown and Jeremy Howe Baseball have gloves that could be considered a threat to overfishing, but Adeiny Hechavarria and Kevin Pillar have impressive hauls. Edwin Baptiste as well, a nice grab in college. But for my money, all of those catches are on a separate tier below Gary Moorcroft’s display of physics defiance. He is SO high off the ground, he is reaching SO far back, and he brings it all the way down cleanly. Plus he snags his sixth goal of the game. This is, The Greatest Catch Of All Time!

[@Rapsciddy31]

Please let me know if you think there’s another catch out there, in ANY sport, that can contend with Moorcroft. Or maybe you think there’s one that’s even better.

[@michaelscott7166]

Ben Stokes took a ridiculous one handed catch against South Africa in the opening game of the 2018 Cricket World Cup. But to be honest I think this mark is on another level to any catch in any sport ever.

[@Guysspagett]

Brad Johnson in defence? I thought he was a forward/midfielder for his entire career?

[@theocemma]

no shit, ive seen so many marks and this has got to be one of the best !

[@harrison1993301]

you know landing on your back has nothing to do with hurting your knees right?

[@MrJacko3353]

Actually if you hold the specky and push the other guy in the back, it is still counted as a mark. Look it up in the book of rules mate.

@SultanOfMischief I love it when people discover this game for the first time! It must be exciting!

And it's a goal when they point with both hands (6 points)

who said scott lucas doesn't kick with his left foot!?!?!
