Can you spot the telltale sign that explains why footy fans are losing their minds over player who kicked five goals in a match for his country footy club?
At age seven, Mibus was involved in a shocking accident with a lawnmower while on his family's sheep farm in rural south-west Victoria.
Doctors told his parents that it would take several operations to save his left foot, and their son would probably be in pain for the rest of his life.
His parents chose to have it amputated, and Mibus was back running just three months later.
Mibus, now 24, is not just defying expectations, but dominating senior footy with his side, the Penshurst Bombers.
Footage of Mibus kicking goals has gone viral online, with fans stunned by his skill.

Jacob Mibus lost his left foot at age seven after an accident with a lawnmower - but it hasn't held him back on the footy field
'This is genuinely amazing,' replied one fan.
'Man can kick further than me with one leg,' said another.
'What a legend,' posted a third.
Mibus, who won a premiership with Penshurst last season, says the most frustrating thing about playing is when something goes wrong with his prosthetic device.
'The most annoying thing is if I break it or it falls off,' he said.
'Everyone sort of looks around. And I get back up and put it back on - and they have a bit of a laugh.'
He says it's been important for him to play with his mates and represent his home town.
'It's good to get out there and get amongst the community and do something that means a lot to the club and the history of the club.
'And the camaraderie and friendship... it definitely means a lot.'

Controversial Married At First Sight Australia star shares worrying hospital photo from his bed
A DIVISIVE Married At First Sight groom has shared a worrying photograph from his hospital bed. The E4 star, who appeared on the Australian version of the matchmaking series, was seen lying back with a drip attached to his left arm. 6 6 6 Harrison Boon struck a serious expression in his selfie, which saw him clad in a white medical gown. Yet the controversial MAFS alum - who faced allegations of bullying and was at the centre of a series of spats during his time on the show - attempted to make light of his mystery condition in the caption. He wrote: "Turns out there's no cure for narcissicsm. "Sorry guys." His medical condition is currently unclear. announced his engagement to girlfriend Gina Ha, who he has been dating for just over a year. MAFS CHAOS It was an unhappier time for Harrison on the reality TV series. He was swiftly hailed a show villain for allegedly gaslighting his wife. Harrison first caused a stir when he upset bride Bronte on their wedding day. One of her bridesmaids told her that Harrison had been dating a girl in the lead up to the wedding, and wanted to be with her when he finished the show. MAFS Australia star reveals she's back with her ex While Bronte gave him the benefit of the doubt, she later slept with him on honeymoon, only for him to remark that there was "no chemistry" between them. Later in the series, Harrison was accused of 'bullying' for the way he spoke about the other couples during the commitment ceremonies. When Evelyn challenged him, they exchanged a war of words, prompting Melinda to jump in with: "You're just a rude guy! It's bullying. It's attacking everyone here.' Mafs couples that have stood the test of time Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home. Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau. Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December. Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: 'I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.' Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019. Owen recalled: 'I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work. "While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in. 'The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, 'Wouldn't it be funny if I signed up?' 'A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.' Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson. Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong. They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod. Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship." But Harrison was having none of it, firing back: "'It's not bullying. Don't play the sex card, grow up!". Needless to say, he and Bronte didn't go the distance and split before final vows. 'Harrison, we're done, we're over and I honestly never want to see you again," Bronte shouted at him when they split during the final dinner party. After the series aired, Harrison hit out amid the fan backlash. He said: "The network hid 90 per cent of Bronte's behaviour, so imagine how bad she must have been what they didn't show, in order for her to look equally as bad as me, when I'm just reacting to it." 6 6 6
