    First drill groups of 3 hand balling on the move evading two defenders. Movement and ball handling sharp, no dropped balls so far. Plenty of enthusiasm. Crowd of about 50 or 60 people have rocked up.

    Not as yet. Second drill length of the ground quick transition hitting up a leading target from the wing handball to player running past, run and carry and kick to leading forward. Ball movement very sharp, good skills on show. Goodwin running the show, Roos unsighted, answering more emails perhaps?

    Third drill, variation on the second drill but with pressure. 20 attackers versus 10 defenders and they're starting to butcher the ball a bit offenders include Daniel Cross, Christian Salem, Grimes and Howe. Shine coming off a bit now.

    Sounds like they're drilling for Sunday then, 20 attackers Vs 10 defenders...

    The dockers don't stand a chance! :rolleyes:

    Just practiced defending behind kick ins with a pressing zone defence. Pretty good pressure forcing quite a number of turnovers although the defenders were outnumbering the attackers.

    you'll recognise them by the veil of negativity hanging over them

    Why do they always practice with too few defenders? We never have the numbers in real games, so they should make them practice moving the ball while outnumbered. It would be far better training for real match situations and might teach them to cope with the pressure a little better.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
