Defensive 50 Intercept Marks are a huge part of football these days so it makes sense to instill some tactics/strategies to help make this happen so you're not hoping someone takes a pack mark from out of nowhere which is not really controllable.
What is controllable though is creating a defensive formation when out of possession that directs the opposition to where you want them to go, which is your defensive anchor.
Your defensive anchor might be a key defensive player or a ruckman who drops back a kick behind the play but whoever it is, it's vital that the rest of the team knows who it is, when they're there and what to do, so we can direct the opposition straight to them.
We're not necessarily trying to have them be a loose man in defense because that means we're probably attacking with less players, severely hindering our ability to score even if we're keeping their scoring at bay as well.
We're simply backing them to contest enough so that the opposition don't mark it, we can get numbers to where we now know the ball is going to go for crumbing and if your defensive anchor is a great contested mark, then we can regain possession pretty quickly and be in offensive transition while the opposition is still trying to recover defensive formation.
