Still the best mark I've seen was the winner of "Mark of the Century", Shaun Smith of Melbourne at the Gabba. I'll never forget some lucky bugger in the crowd just happened to take a snap as Smith grabbed the ball, it was a monster.

However, Burton's is right up there as well, a brilliantly balanced grab. I've always been amazed at how players can gain such incredible heights and yet still remain perfectly balanced.

if you look closely, somewhere near the front row of the crowd, a bloke has his jumper over his head (i assume he was putting it on/taking it off) and precisely the WRONG time! poor bugger missed it!
