Barks took so many in an era where there weren't cameras at all games and a couple of the greatest I've seen.
Nicky took some great marks, the one against Essendon at Moorabbin brilliant and the one where he booted Dlckhead Sticks in the head.
Jeremy Howe takes them as consistently as any player I have seen.

Stewie Loewe took many great marks so much so that Rex Hunt gave him the nickname " The markologist"

Re: Who took the most hangers?
For me Trevor Barker was the most consistent at taking screamers. What a wonderful player he was !
A few blokes over the years who took speccies-
Bill Ryan of Geelong took some good grabs in the 60s, including a spectacular leap against us in the 1968 first semi.
Geoff Blethyn , the bespectacled Bomber of the late 60s and early 70s, had a great leap. Capper did, too.
Shaun Smith of NM and Melb, took some good ones, including the best I ever saw ( in the goalsquare away to the Bears, to the right of screen ).
Jezza is best known for the mark over Jerka Jenkin in the 70 GF, but he took plenty of others .

Re: Who took the most hangers?
Howe takes one a week. He's a freak. Greatest ever by a fair margin imo.
