VFL Mark of the Year 1969 - Danny Hibbert

Post by stoliboy »

I was looking through an old Truth newspaper book and saw this amazing photo of Collingwood player Danny Hibbert taking Mark of the Year in 1969.

I was wondering if there is any video of this mark or any Nicksters have any more detail on the mark.

Article says:

It's The Mark of the Year

Breath-Taking Leaps distinguish Australian Rules from all other football codes, and spectacular high marking is the feature that makes the crowd roar. And how the Magpie fans roared when tiny Danny Hibbert took this screamer over Geelong's Geoff Ainsworth at Victoria Park. Truth Sporting Editor, Brian Hansen, judged it the Mark of the Year..
