I vividly remember one he took at the Lake Oval against South. No hands in the back, he just seemed to fly. Tears come to my eyes just thinking about it - and him. What a player he was!

...........both the 1977 Lake Oval and 1979 Windy Hill grabs are bona fide classics.

There are few lessor seen ones when he wore 25 in 1975 and 76.

Did he have Nicky's in there...the one at the G?

One that comes to mind for me is the speccy in the goal square against the Brisbane Bears up at Carrara. Can't remember what year it was... ?

It was similaraly good as the one Sean Smith took.

Is the windy hill one where he comes down almost vertically and lands on his head/neck?

Barks was a better mark, better spoiler and better defender than Spud.
I will be generous to Spud and suggest that Barks best marks were never captured on TV as St Kilda was so low on the ladder that the TV stations were not intersted in recording the games..

I was fortunate enough to be very near Barks when he took that one..

As teenager I went by myself to football for the very first time at that game (as opposed to Dad taking me)...and seeing that special speccie up close was my reward.

But with Barks he seemed to take a great hanger every week...often several timesa game.

The only speccy ive seen is in the Trevor Barker room, that looked a ripper

I saw that segment. I was waiting for Barks to get a guernsey. Pity there wasn't the coverage or camera angles then as there is today. If there had of been he would have been known as the game's greatest aerialist.

At least they did have the sense not to include Ablett's or Silvagni's.

I also thought Roo's mark up in Sydney (running back) might have squeezed in.

He took a fantastic speccy right in front of us v Nth. Melb at the MCG on a friday night.
I don't think we won that night. In fact we probably didn't, but ... Oh, What a wonderful memory to keep, to see Barks 'Fly like an Angel'

That's interesting. I had you pegged as much younger than that.
