In part 2 of 2 for round 7 we get our 2nd tick lead of the season on a fast play going inside 50, this time directly resulting in a goal to GWS.
Doyle runs to goal to generate length and get Peterson's back to the ball which is really the main goal of running back to goal because then as a forward your affordances really open up and you can essentially go wherever you want as the defender can't touch you when you're looking at the ball and they're not - it's not necessarily run to go and get it over the back into space every single time forward as AFLW players can't get the distance on their kicks to do that from where they're going inside 50 from.
The 2nd video shows Port Adelaide simply running alongside and in step with the Gold Coast player streaming down the wing, with the perfect opportunity to press defensively from front on, and halt play in Port's defensive half but instead they continue to run "with" them, then get stepped and allow a defensive 50 to forward 50 fast play under pretty much zero pressure and untouched.
It's Melbourne's to lose right now and it's inside forward 50 connection like what the video shows, that's a big part of it.
They've also mastered the lane running between the arcs which opens up how they can go forward, using much more of the ground than most teams who stay in a single lane and hope for clean use from contest to contest.
Lastly our run of 2 tick/hit up leads is broken by Fremantle where out of 4 players streaming inside 50 towards goal, none of them turn and hot up at the ball carrier resulting being too far from the kicker and the St Kilda defender reading it far better then all them for the intercept mark.
