‘A bit terrifying': Suburban footballer's soaring mark leaves fans gasping
Blackburn footballer Daniel Wood's climb over the pack to take a screaming grab – already considered one of the greatest Australian rules marks to be captured on video – was a 'bit terrifying' according to the player himself. Footage of VFL-listed player Wood soaring into the air to take the stunning grab against Balwyn in the Eastern District Football League on Saturday has gone viral this weekend. Teammates and opponents were left in disbelief after Wood, who admits he's 'a bit of a high-flier', backed himself in to go for the mark. Crucially, he landed safely and, for good measure, kicked a goal. 'Mate, it's pretty unbelievable,' Wood told Channel Seven when asked what it meant to have his special moment captured by the cameras. 'I knew it was a pretty decent flight at the time.' Loading His VFL club, the Box Hill Hawks, happily shared his exploits on social media, describing his high grab 'as good as it gets'. Box Hill posted on X: 'Yesterday, while playing for Blackburn, our own Daniel Wood took one of the greatest marks in the history of Australian rules football. Don't believe me? Just watch... Give him a car, a boat, a plane, the International Space Station.'

LIVE UPDATES: Fremantle Dockers hunt revenge against Ross Lyon's St Kilda at Optus Stadium
Fremantle could equal their best streak under Justin Longmuir if they grab their sixth-straight victory today against the Saints. However, the Saints laid a Melbourne ambush for the Dockers in their last meeting earlier this year, handing the harbour club a stinging defeat. Can the men in purple get revenge, or will former Fremantle coach Ross Lyon get the last laugh again? Follow all the action from Optus Stadium on our live blog. Fremantle head into the game with no changes while Nat Fyfe is back in the subs vest. He played a full game last week but had better impact during his two appearances as the sub. It's a big day for Fremantle. They can equal their best-ever winning streak under Justin Longmuir with victory over St Kilda but Ross Lyon will have a thing or two to say about it. The Dockers were embarressed by the Saints at Marvel earlier this year and need to have learnt their lessons. The ground is looking chopped after the British and Irish Lions spanked the Western Force last night but should be fine. At least better than the SCG!
