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  :Smile

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.
