Brendan Fevola has been left with injured hands after trying to break the world record for highest altitude catch.
The 40-year-old former AFL great attempted to beat NFL superstar Rob Gronkowski, who recently made a catch from 600 feet (182 metres) from a hovering helicopter.
In his attempt on Wednesday, Brendan tried from 650 feet (198m) and while he came extremely close, he ended up disappointed and with swollen hands.

In a clip on Fox 101.9, Fev, who was dressed in a jersey with a helmet and gloves, looked motivated as he was being revved up by co-host Fifi Box.
'I know that the nerves will be fluttering around in your tummy but you need to harness that energy, you need to tap into the muscle memory of an AFL great,' she told the former AFL star.
