Sam Flanders' performance in the first quarter against Collingwood was exceptional. He tallied 13 possessions and 1 goal, and by three-quarters of the way through, he had secured 6 of the Gold Coast SUNS' 15 ground balls for the quarter.
His clean ball-handling below his knees & spread across the ground, as shown in this video, demonstrates his impressive work rate and ability to impact every contest.
Aspiring elite midfielders should strive to reach this level of play #sports#coaching#afltraining#afl#firstuse#aflcoaching#education#sport#goldcoast#suns
Luke Davies-Uniacke's work rate is exceptional, which is why he's ranked 8th in the AFL for contested possessions.
In this video, you'll see his work rate specifically around centre bounces.
At stoppages around the ground, where congestion increases due to more players, LDU excels even more.
This video offers a glimpse of his speed, power, timing, and agility #firstuse#coaching#sports#afltraining#afl#aflcoaching#education
Hawthorn is currently one of the top-performing teams in the AFL.
This video highlights a couple of their exciting centre bounce set plays.
These two plays enable their midfielders to attack the ball with speed, while other team members hold their positions to offer support #afltraining#sports#firstuse#aflcoaching#afl#education#coaching#hawthorn#hawks
Essendon's Jake Stringer is making a significant impact not just on the scoreboard but also around stoppages.
In addition to kicking 5 goals against the West Coast Eagles, he recorded four centre bounce clearances.
His body positioning, strength over the ball, ability to spread from stoppages, and power make him a formidable opponent #afl#afltraining#firstuse#coaching#sports#education#aflcoaching#essendon#stringer
Watching the Carlton midfielders work together during centre bounces is captivating.
Their success isn't measured by stats but by each player's clear understanding of their role to enhance the chances of winning the clearances.
From the ruck to the blocker, receiver, and sweeper, every midfielder positioned in the centre bounce for Carlton performs their role exceptionally well. #afl#carlton#blues
Marcus Bontempelli is the best at reading centre bounces in the AFL.
To excel as a midfielder in centre bounces, you need great strength, but two standout traits for Bontempelli are:
👉🏼 His ability to identify dangerous opponents
👉🏼 His skill in reading the body position of the opposing ruckman
Bontempelli is patient, instinctive, and powerful.
The only way to counter him at centre bounces is to direct the ball away from him. #afl#coaching#firstuse#aflcoaching#ruck#afltraining#sports#education
The Sydney Swans dominated the centre bounce clearances 19-4 against Adelaide in their Round 14 match.
A significant factor in this success was the performance of players coming off the line.
Both the forwards and wingers made substantial contributions, positively influencing the team's overwhelming advantage in centre bounces. #afl#swans#sydney#coaching
Round 14 of the AFL showcased some impressive stoppage goals within the forward 50.
Appointing a speedy player to target the hit zone can 1. Generate movement that causes uncertainty and panic for the opposition, and 2. Create space behind for teammates to exploit.
Initiating movement during stoppages in the forward 50 can create scoring opportunities and pressure the opponents.
In the forward 50, you can control the game, so implementing a set play that benefits either a right- or left-footer on your team can lead to successful outcomes.
