CARLTON high flyer Andrew Walker nearly won mark of the year in 2011 and this year has already taken the "catch" which has been seen around the world.
Vision of Walker's leap over Adelaide's Sam Shaw on Saturday night quickly made it on to the internet, sending Twitter into a frenzy and had non-Australians tweeting in amazement at his effort.
Proving a great sporting effort gets universal applause, it didn't matter a lot of them didn't quite know what they were watching.
US sports website thebiglead.com reported an "Australian rules football player climbs up an opponent's back to make a spectacular catch".
"It's like an outfielder climbing a wall to rob a home run, but the wall is a person who is also trying to catch the baseball and the wall is trying to tackle you and dump you on your head," was how Walker's efforts were described.
Those who witnessed something different to what they were used to on the website, linked to USA Today, weren't sure what to make of it.
"Unfortunately in the NFL that would be called pass interference," one commented.
"Why wear booty shorts? It's like they are stuck in the '70s," said another.
Carlton coach Mick Malthouse was encouraged, despite the three-point loss to the Crows.
"We missed shots at goal . . . that should have been put away," he said.
"We may be a couple of weeks away from getting the next part of the execution right. Who knows? It may be months. I still think there are a lot more things that are on the up."
