MPNFL’s high flyers: Corey Buchan, Michael Bussey, Jackson Calder, Joe Fisscher

Who are the MPNFL players who consistently drag down wow-factor marks? We’ve listed the top high-flying aerialists. Who did we miss?

The Mornington Peninsula League is full of aerialists.

There’s nothing like a big hanger to thrill crowds.

While it’s not as common as once before, there are still plenty of Spring-heeled Jacks in the Mornington Peninsula league more than willing to jump, ride and soar for marks.

Here’s our list of the best current-day Peninsula high-flyers:

Corey Buchan, Frankston Bombers

The former VFL Dolphin consistently clunks big marks. He used to do it in the backline, now he likes to follow a speccy with a goal.

Michael Bussey, Edithvale-Aspendale

Possesses a huge leap and drags down high marks consistently. When he’s hot, he’s hard to stop.

Mornington's Jackson Calder takes a high grab.

Jackson Calder, Mornington

You don’t kick 62 goals in 12 games without being a good aerialist. The Bulldogs spearhead has long arms and takes the ball at its highest point. Has a vice-like grip, too.

The former Sandringham big man is noted for his strong contested marks and can also take the occasional speccy.

The high-leaping Bulls defender was initially instructed by his coach Luke Forsyth to punch the ball, but not any more. “He takes a hanger every week,’’ Forsyth said. “Now he can do what he wants because he marks most of them.’’

Jonah Siversen marks strongly for Red Hill.

A marking machine with a big leap, he’s often seen rising above the pack to take a clean, one-grab mark.
