I hate "he marked the ball at its highest point". How is that possible when the balls highest point is that the top of its arc before it begins to drop?

We have nothing to lose and everything to gain as we will get to see what these kids have and where they are at.
Some handy players have worn that 43, do it proud son.

Maybe you're taking that expression too literally. I believe it simply means to actually use your eyes before launching the aggott into the forward line (rather than kick and hope, or put it on top of the heads of the talls).

What does it actually mean?

I would have thought that every players' eyes are on roughly the same plane  ::)

If it means looking for a passing opportunity, then why not say that?  It's just another meaningless phrase that has crept into the commentators' repertoire.

I thought it meant that rather than kick long to the goal square or constantly looking for the KP forward, that you instead go for shorter passes closer to you, usually for the smaller forwards ?

It the highest point of his jump, not the highest point of the ball trajectory.

Lemmey shadows Harry at training and he works against Weiters et al at training.  His running patterns are good and he is a good mark.  His kicking for goal is generally very good. 

He can play in defence and he’s a competent ruckman.

I’d say that he’s still a work in progress, but he’s a much better chance of having an impact as a key forward than Hollands, E, Kennedy, McGovern, Kemp or Young.
Yes he is a WIP, his biggest shortcoming at the moment is aerobic capacity, and when he fatigues his competitiveness drops away the same as anybody who is fatigued. But that's common for young KPPs, Harry was the same early, Lemmey is just a kid we need patience. Young would have him covered in this regard.

A key AFL KPF craft is repeat efforts, lead after lead after lead with often the last one being rewarded.

Running the KPFs around the ground is a tactic used by opponents to take repeat efforts out of a KPF's legs, we do it to our own when we have them up the field or in D50 filling B or C-Grade roles, they aren't midfielders. If we ask that of Lemmey he'll blow up before 1/4-time!

If running deep does no harm, why aren't McGovern, Kemp or Weiters in the F50 goal square attempting and taking the odd contested mark? It's because it's impossible to be at both ends in a timely manner, and still be fresh enough to compete strongly.

And I will add that way too many Mark Of The Year contenders have gone to someone who took a chest mark speccy that could have been marked without the big leap and just by putting the arms up (easier said than done of course). I would like an analysis/estimation done of the highest marks taken - that is the ball caught at the highest point. Think Jezza on a ruckman's shoulders with his arms up.

There was a ground level photo of a Dawk who got launched taking a mark with arms straight up, it's luck in that the timing has to be perfect to steal vertical momentum off opponents. But the player was standing on the shoulders of another player who was also about half a body length above the flat footed ruck. That puts the marking hands 3m to 4m above the ruckmen head so 5m or 6m off the ground.
