Mark of the Year (SANFL)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ian McKay's mark during the 1952 SANFL Grand Final.

The annual South Australian National Football League (SANFL) Mark of the Year competition (currently known for sponsorship reasons as the Skilled Careers Mark of the Year) is a sporting award that celebrates each season's best mark. A mark is the action of a player cleanly catching a kicked ball that has travelled more than 15 metres (49 ft) without the ball hitting the ground.
