AT A TOWERING 6’7″, there aren’t too many people who are going to beat Nic Naitanui in a jump-off.
The West Coast Eagles star won the AFL’s Mark of the Year award with this stunning leap against Geelong.
Naitanui took a running jump which helped him soar above team-mate Callum Sinclair — who is also 6’7″ — and Geelong defender Jared Rivers.
He was immediately installed as the odds-on favourite and sure enough, collected the Mark of the Year prize at the annual Brownlow ceremony on Sunday.
