Scores from turn over is easily the largest scoring source in the AFL and I'd suspect holds true in local footy.
Forcing the opposition to turn the ball over as close to your goal is the most effective way to do this as the closer to your goal you can force a turnover, the better chance of scoring you have off the back of it, playing a forward half game and simply starving them of any easy footy and hopefully, even getting it to their own forward half.
Richmond put a huge emphasise on pressing forward to the ball carrier in their premiership years with the mantra of "If you're going to make a mistake, make a mistake coming forward" and I'm also here for it.
If you're the closest player to the ball carrier and you're running away from them then they are under no pressure in having to dispose of the footy plus they're also gaining territory with every step.
This is the perfect time to apply huge pressure coming forward towards them and taking away their space which will wreck havoc with their decision making as now they might have to handball instead of kick and it's that lag time in changing the decision and executing it that's your opening.
Here's a scenario you can try to carry this out using 3 or even 4 layers of frontal pressure...
