Hitting the HEIGHTS! Who is the Dogs speccy king?
Ok I've been thinking about this for a while.... So I'll throw it open to the fine folk of woof to discuss.
When it comes to taking crazy high marks who is the Dogs king?
Richard Cousins? Jim Sewell? Are they real people?
Rack your brains for the best overhead specialists in your time watching the Dogs, there's been a few! Give us your thoughts...

Crozier and Wood underrated, Weightman will have plenty by time of retirement. Can't really remember many from the 90s and 00s who were high flyers, and that's as far as my viewing history goes.

Re: Hitting the HEIGHTS! Who is the Dogs speccy king?
Ok, here's my vote.
Brett Montgomery. He was a freak at riding his opponents back and always got the timing perfect. Usually a one grabber too which to me is the prereq for an legendary mark (none of this ablett stuff).
He took a mark in a final in the late 90s that was next level, he may have done it twice. Once v the Swans in 97, then again v the Eagles in 98.

Crozier was pretty next level wasn't he when he got the ride.

He was the first one to pop into my mind for consistently taking hangers. During those peak couple of years he'd take 1 or 2 a game.

I didn't see him play but I seem to recall my grandfather saying there was a small defender/back pocket who took a big mark one day that everyone was raving about but then kept going for them repeatedly from then on without any success.

Merv was the rover and that mark was in the 61 PF win over Melbourne.
I didn't see it live but remember that.

Alby Smedts took a screamer in the reserves once and I think it made it onto the front cover of the footy record the next week.
Mitch Hannan also took one in the reserves which was raved about for a couple of years .
Weightmans mark over Max Gawn was a ripper.
The hawk took a few in his career.
Seems to be always the small to mid height take them . I am sure Templeton and Quinlan would have taken a few.
Bring back the biff
