Tips & Maps
RUNNING OFF
Fast mid-sized and small players expose a lack of accountability from the forwards and push up the field when the ball is being cleared, creating a 2-on-1 contest in the midfield to free an attacking midfielder. The Ruck Rover runs with the Ruckman at all times.
ACCOUNTABILITY
All defenders stick close to their opponents, creating 50/50 contests that bring the ball to ground and allow smaller players to bottle it up or clear the ball from defence. Any opposition player that enters the Defensive 50 is manned up immediately.
THE FLOOD
Midfielders 'fill holes' in the defence and create contested situations for leading forwards, or the entire team slows up play and pushes the attacking side wide. This is effective against free-scoring teams but can be broken on turnover, and teams employing it usually win by small margins in low-scoring games.
RUN INTO SPACE
All players begin behind the Ruckman and push forward of the ruck contest into an open space and run onto the ball. Wingmen support the midfield by providing a handball option, shepherding out the opposing midfield, or remaining wide as an option.
DISH-OFF
The Rover receives the ball from the Ruckman and handballs to the Ruck Rover, who then kicks towards goal or a leading forward. The Centre remains behind the Ruckman in case the tap is lost, maintaining a prime defensive position.
50/50
All midfielders aim for a 50/50 contested situation with their direct opponent, especially when the opposing Ruckman is winning tap-outs. Wingmen bottle up the ball, slow momentum, and create space when possession is won.
3-5-4 ZONE
This tactic covers options in the middle of the field and pushes the defensive team wide, often conceding a short kick to gain numbers on the next possession. Players drop back to flood the longer option but aim to win the ball and outnumber the opposition on the rebound to carry the ball quickly.
3-4-5 ZONE
Players spread out in three lines, providing two crumbers to cut off short passes and present for a kick at the 50m line. The second and third lines offer a blend of height and crumbing ability, and this tactic provides a better contest against teams employing the huddle.
