I finished off my previous post after the first of 2 Zoom calls for the course with the 2nd one here having a huge focus on game vision and seeing how different tactics and strategies look in actual game situations.
#6 - FAST PLAY OPTIONS
For every mark your player takes, their teammates must strive to get in 1 of the 5 options being in the corridor, lateral to the marking player, behind laterally to the marking player, skinny side boundary side and long down along the line.
#7 - SLOW PLAY OPTION
Where possible you want to try and turn slow plays into fast plays and a great way to do that is with the run and block, which you would have seen almost every AFL do at some stage recently.
BP is the player with the ball, the green X is the man on the mark and the purple X is your teammate, the skinny side boundary winger from above.
The skinny side boundary winger will need to push in on to the fat side of the man on the mark, not come behind them, and then push back into them as they put the block on.
Also be aware that you cannot put the block on until the ball carrier has played on so it's worth investing some time in training this to get the coordination and timing of it correct for game day.
Instead of only getting the ball as far as the kick down the line, the run andblock allows for an extra 10 - 20m run and carry and a mid to deep forward entry depending on the kicker.
#8 - Boundary Throw Ins
Richmond love to play that high half forward as an extra midfielder up at the contest and this shows a little bit of what Kane Lambert does
The L in a circle is Kane Lambert, blue X's are Richmond and purple X's are the opposition with Richmond going to the left of screen.
The other Richmond mids pull back slightly from the contest to provide more room for Lambert to operate in, especially the 5 and 3 o clock tap options as labelled above.
At the back and fatside of the contest you have the skinny side winger (SW) and the fat side winger (FW) who can defend the front of the contest of the opposition but more importantly start Richmond's run and handball express game through the middle.
#9 - AFLW
These are your best chances of being a successful team at AFLW level based purely on where the game is at right now in regards to skill development, running capacity and tactical prowess.
- You're best served by getting time in your forward half by pressing/manning up and trying to create an area of space in your forward 50.
- Be adept at defending the long kick down the line as that's where most of them go.
- Cause defensive 50 stoppages and
- Be able to defend within the contest
- Teach your players how to take the ball off the line
- Instruct your players how to turn a slow play into fast play
- Kicking is a harder skill and can cause worser errors than kicking which can allow the ball to go into space and then if you donlt have the numbers they can hurt you on the rebound so run the ball via handball
- Run in waves
- Most scores come from stoppage and fat side movement
- Have a rebound strategy
- Possession consists of 40% contested and 60% uncontested ball
- The ball is usually in dispute upon turnover so train to keep your shape/s
- Use high half forwards to get out the back for easy goals
#10 - Junior Football
- Strategy compliments skills and skills need to be executed to execute a strategy
- It's harder to score on skills alone v with just a strategy on its own
- Juniors usually learn offense 1st but it's easier to teach defense and it wins games
- Defensively look at instilling a form of press, play man on man on the back of the goal side shoulder, own territory and press
- Offensively look training via a strategy/skill/skill/strategy process, put speed on the game, attack through the corridor/switch the play
- In the contest use some form of shape around the ball
- For stoppages use some basic structures, train stoppages on the wing, midfield and mid arch area's of the ground and devise player starting point positioning for each of them
All up another banger of a course delivered by Austin who has aloso goiven the confidence to hit the coaching route in 2021 which I will.
I'm happy to call him a mentor of mine, he's always up for a chat so look out for his future courses coming up.
