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...

GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – 5 PLAY SWITCH SCENARIOS
Usually I post the game video then the training video but I’m going a different today with these 5 outnumber scenarios. I normally leave quite a bit of bandwidth with how the scenarios can play out but these 5 are specific slices of the game with an offensive or defensive outnumber theme. The 2nd major...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – 5 OUTNUMBER SCENARIOS
Usually I post the game video then the training video but I’m going a different today with these 5 outnumber scenarios. I normally leave quite a bit of bandwidth with how the scenarios can play out but these 5 are specific slices of the game with an offensive or defensive outnumber theme. The 2nd major...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – FORWARD 50 DEFENSE
As mentioned in the video, set some cones up through the mid line of the ground to act as a space constraint then let them play. We’re specifically seeing how our 2 defenders can delay the ball from getting to the far wing and provide time for our pother defenders to get over from where...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – KICK OUT + FOLLOW UP
This is a set play from the kick out but it’s all about keeping the kick out player involved in the play because the least defended player on the ground is usually the one who just disposed of the ball, so they’ll often be free if they keep on the move and in the play....
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – HALF BACK/WING PLAY SWITCH
Here is another switch of play scenario from an actual game. This one starts from an out of bounds on full free kick and Freo are able to work the ball from 1 side of the ground to the other with patience and above all, using 100% options around the ground. 100% Option = A...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – GET WIDE TO OPEN UP THE CORRIDOR
This scenario focuses initially on getting wide from the ball carrier to open up the corridor but also encompasses other vital tactics such as run from behind and utilising a number advantage, all while keeping your entire team connected all over the ground. In the training video I go through just 1 way this might...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – PRESSING HIGHER AND HIGHER
This scenario shows and lays out a way to train to gradually ramp up your forward press as you are able to move the ball towards your goal. I started with lower numbers for simplicity but over time feel free to increase player numbers up to about 15 for the advantage side (offensive) but you...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS- RUN FROM BEHIND OPTIONS (FREE)
I first saw this running from behind play tactic from the Sydney Swans in 2021 based off player movement in soccer but you now see a lot of it in AFLW because it’s very effective to lengthening the ground and maintaining team connection all over the ground + they sort of have to do it...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – KICK OUT ALONG BOUNDARY LINE
The game video shows the 1 specific way the Bulldogs exited their defensive 50 via their kick out but as I state in the training video, that is just 1 of many options that this set up will present to the offensive team and it’s all about taking what the defense gives you and taking...
