Ok, the mark.
Basically its called a mark but its really a catch. You have to raise your arms in the air, open your hands and then, as toddlers can do, you ....catch the ball.
:D
Back in my playing days I was often renowned as a good marker of the ball. It kinda confused me, the acknowledgement I received, as to me this was something I'd been doing and doing well since before kindy. Yes when other players are also going for the ball this can make it a bit harder but really, alls you gots to do is
a) determine the flight of the ball and where it will land.
b)time your leap
c) catch the friggin ball
Anyway, I as all people like acknowledgment and so when I switched codes to marngrook and received such glowing praise game after game...I kinda liked it

Stay tuned folks, next week i'll explore and explain the...drop punt. Or in other words...the ...kick.
