Brisbane averaged over 100 marks per game in season 2024, capping that off with a ridiculous 158 in the Grand Final itself leading to a whopping possession of 53% for the game!
If each mark and then kick on average is 5secs in length (just making this up), then that's over 13mins with the ball in hand with complete control of the game, and a game model planned specifically around this as well.
It definitely fits the mantra of you have the ball, they have the ball or its in dispute.
And when you watch them it's not they're constantly trying to pick off 50% options, it's mostly to players in space, or enough space to take an uncontested mark off the back of the player movement in front of the ball.
Most local teams are territory-based over possession-based but it doesn't have to be that way.
Train to maintain possession, train it under game conditions, give players plenty of opportunities to explore this game style over the pre-season and build their confidence, and competence, with it via your practice design.
Playing the short, fast and forward game also allows you to regain your defensive formation behind the ball and as you progress the ball up the ground, it also enables you to then squeeze that defensive up as high you want and play a forward half game.
If you kick long and lose possession immediately then you're forward and midfield runners are caught in the middle from chasing the initial kick and nowhere near set up to defend the rebound, and then your defense is extremely vulnerable.
Here's a pretty easy way to do it...
