That's the craziest sporting event I've ever seen. Gotta give the guy credit though. Great athleticism - excellent timing and phenominal leg strenght.... What did you all feed him?

Not like those Dallas 'Cowboys' pansies!
They came out to Australia a year or so ago, and they took them to an Australian Rules football match. They decliined the offer to have a go at it.

"What did you all feed him?'
We usually throw him in a lions den and let him take his pick.

Jerry,
Good observation. It is mainly the run up from behind, if at all possible, and the spring is timed to get him as high as possible an the EXACT moment the ball arrives. The bad part s the landing, and they sure come down with a thud!
If you look VERY closely, they sometimes manage to get a 'ride' up the back of the man in front and even end up with their knees on his shoulders.
If he firmly gains control of the ball, he is awarded the mark and gets his free kick.
