 This type of play can include some play contesting, many Australian rules fans requiring a "stepladder" player to emulate the specky or spectacular mark seen on the football field, often also heard crying out famous names of spectacular mark proponents such as "Jesaulenko", "Ablett" or "Capper".The ancient indigenous Australian game of Marn Grook, which is believed by some to have influenced Australian rules football is similar in many ways to the modern varieties of the kick-to-kick pastime.Author Sean Fagan claims that the kick-to-kick tradition originates with rugby football in England, citing books from 1856 which make reference to the term "punt about", however although the sources mention kicking practice they do not indicate other participants catching or marking the ball or kicking it back.
