Shai did it by himself
Jack did it with Chols support.
No guarantees jack would have held the mark if Chol was not there. But both awesome marks.

At the risk of being booted off the PRE website, am I the only one who thinks that Roachy didn't hold or control the ball enough?

Agree a bit like Ablett Senior's one arm DROP over Collingwood's Gary Pert

You're in trouble now, how can we describe such behaviour, hmm, how about a bit like this:

I can't specifically remember how long Roach held on to that mark but they certainly paid a lot of marks back then where the player held on to the ball for a fraction of a second, wouldn't be paid now. Ablett's one is a very good example as someone else pointed out, he barely had the ball at all - spectacular though.

May have been because he had altitude sickness.
Nah he definitely held it long enough.
For the era it was long enough. If you want the world record shortest grab Templeton the day he kicked 15...one of them he led out and he waved at it as it went over his head...

Just confirms the line that white men can't jump.

Shai got serious airborne for his mark.

Cholly was way over the top of the contest and nearly decrapitated Jaaack who came in low n hard n still got the mark.

At the 3 minute mark, yeah, pretty ordinary.

I reckon we need the judges who scored this dive to weigh in on this debate. They are highly criticle and clearly dont take in to account the moment. Seriously though, check out the scores this bloke gets after doing something that made me have an anxiety attack just watching it. Luckily his girlfriend had 15 cones before the dive to calm her nerves!
Why would you do all that only to tie the world record?

Kinda stupid, all the way up there n he might as well have taken one more step to own the record all by himself.
