1. Tackle around the waist... not the neck. Weak players go high. Hold the tackle and pin the arms. 2. Goalkicking. The most important and yet poorest skill executed on the footy field. 3. Over use of handball. An MFC specialty. Handballing around in a circle achieves nithing but a turnover. 170 kicks and 170 handballs achieves nothing. I want 220 kicks and 150 handballs. 4. Run run and run. Its a sport where you must keep moving. Create space. Demand the footy on the move!! 5. Support. Bump. Shepherd. Talk. Knock on the your advantage. Smart 1%s. 6. One up, one down. Both in attack and defence you must crumb smartly. 7. Kick to the Hotspot 15 metres out of goals (not the pockets). 8. Stand up. Don't go to ground (MFC slips or goes down too quickly). Your options are often poor and you get caught with the footy. 9. Move the ball quickly quickly and quickly. Use the corridor. Defenders hate quick attack. If you are slow, the opposition setup defence too quickly. Attack and entertain. 10. Dont kick backwards or sideways in the back 50. It achieves nothing. Thats a start to measure next week. Watch the top teams (Hawks and Eagles especially) and tick off these 10. Forget other meaningless stats.
