Andrew Walker Mark: Australian Football League Forward Climbs Defender To Make Unreal Catch (VIDEO)

Australian League Football Player Makes Insane Shoulder-Climbing Catch

You're not going to see a mark much better than this.

The following video comes from Melbourne's Carlton Australian Football League Club's match against rival Essendon on Saturday. Watch carefully, as Carlton forward Andrew Walker ignores the difference between his defender and a step-ladder to climb up for an incredible grab.

The catch is being called the "Mark Of The Year" and prompted Deadspin to suggest "eliminating offensive pass interference."

Carlton coach Brett Ratten was certainly impressed.

"I said to him at half-time to stay on the ground a bit more because I thought he was flying at everything," Ratten said in a post-game interview. "He looked at me when he came off and said 'Is that OK?' -- I said that's OK when you do that."

Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that the Carlton rugby club was based in Auckland, New Zealand. It also misidentified coach Brett Ratten as "Bruce."
