Our jaws are still on the ground.

The high-flying Collingwood star produced arguably his finest grab in the AFL yet, soaring over Essendon defender Ben McKay and pulling down a screamer during the third quarter of Thursday’s clash.
Elliott’s feat left commentators and fans in awe.
“That is as good as it gets over the hulking frame of Ben McKay,” Channel 7 commentator James Brayshaw said.
“Gee we’ve seen some big marks at this ground – none bigger than that … That is our game at it’s best.”
Melbourne legend Garry Lyon rold Fox Footy: “Jamie Elliott has ensured he will be on Anzac Day highlight reels forever and ever. That, my friends, is going to take some beating for mark of the year.
AFL Nation commentator Gerard Whateley added: “It’s a screamer that will last for generations on this day. Jamie Elliott, with one of the all-timers!”
Coincidentally, Elliott’s mark occurred in the same pocket of the same ground against the same opposition as when he kicked his gobsmacking post-siren match-winning goal against the Bombers last year.
