One Football

As soon as our players realise there is only one football on the oval they will be a better team. More importantly once they realise that since there is only one football that means only one person can have it, the better they will be. I know this may sound stupid but at the moment our players are playing stupid footy, I have posted since round 1 we are running around like under 9 footballers.

Since there is only 1 football here are the options as a player your have

Opposition has the footy-Lay a tackle(we don't need 2-3 players going for a tackle), man up, push to your spot in the zone or push to where you think the next contest will be.

We have the Footy, but you don't-Lay a block/Sheppard, create space for the ball carry, run to space to receive, create space for someone else to receive, run to where you think the next contest will be.

If you Have the footy- Don't fumble, kick/handpass the ball to advantage, have awareness and vision, don't be afraid to make a mistake.

Ball in dispute- Don't fall over, once again only one footy we don't need 5 players fighting for it or diving on it, or you can't effect the contest position yourself to spread or defend, don't get draw to the contest.

It is simple get the footy, be an option to get the footy, try to get the footy or defend, but remember ther is only one footy to be won.
