In my opinion, the biggest thing missing from local/amateur football is what I call 666 Connection which refers to all players and all lines staying connected, without any major gaps of space between them.
Defensively, these gaps in connection simply provide more leading space options for forwards and thus more area to cover when you’re out of possession.
Any defender will tell you that the more degrees of space a forward can work with, the harder is to really do anything about it if delivery is adequate.
Offensively, we're constantly focusing on winning 1v1's and trying to find teammates out in space but with the huge disparity of physical and tactical prowess of players even within a single team, simply having good numbers around the ball as much as possible is a way to keep all players involved and share the load over a full game, and season.
Most teams use something along these in the AFL but Sydney has been doing it for 4 or 5 years and it's now a staple in their game.
I’d suggest that this is something very new to most of you I'd so I've compiled a bunch of examples so you can see what it looks like in all different facets of the game.
- OFF OF A CENTER BOUNCE FREE KICK
- HALF FORWARDS COMING UP STRAIGHT AWAY
- OFF OF A DEFENSIVE 50 REBOUND
- OFF A DEFENSIVE HALF FREE KICK
- OFF OF A DEFENSIVE HALF MARK #2
- OFF OF A MID 50 MARK
- ALL FORWARDS GET IN FRONT OF THE BALL
- FULL TEAM/GROUND FORMATION DEFENSIVE 50 THROW IN
- POTENTIAL END RESULT
I also add some animated videos from different game moments to show this a bit more clearly:
- GAME START CLEARANCE LOSS
- GAME START CLEARANCE WIN
- INTERCEPT MARK/FREE KICK DEFENSIVE PART 1
- INTERCEPT MARK/FREE KICK DEFENSIVE 50 PART 2
And finish off with videos to teach it:
