Jamie Elliott landed ‘An ANZAC Day spectacular’ to quote Channel Seven Commentator James Brayshaw, when the 32-year-old leaped on the shoulders of Essendon’s Ben McKay. Midway through the third term of what was eventually the first of two draws in Collingwood’s season, Elliott took the mark 45 metres out from Collingwood’s goal as he got on the end of a perfect forward entry from Jordan De Goey.

Elliott is no stranger to big moments, after winning the Mark of the Year award in in 2013 and most pundits thought the award was once again his until good mate and fellow forward Bobby Hill almost hit the roof at Marvel Stadium in Round 14 against North Melbourne.

Jack Crisp kicked the ball to the top of the goal square late in the third term, before Hill used two North Melbourne players and teammate Billy Frampton as a step ladder to pull down a grab that will seriously contend with Elliott’s. What made Hill’s mark extra special was the second ‘spring’ the 24-year-old seemed to gain whilst in the air.
