This drill will teach forwards they<br />

do not always start a lead from<br />

being flat-footed in the goalsquare.<br />

Often forwards may be up the<br />

ground after chasing an opponent.<br />

The forwards must then charge<br />

back towards their own goal to be<br />

in the best position to be an option<br />

for their team.<br />

1. 1 Coach rolls ball into Red who, with no pressure, kicks<br />

to a leading Red half-forward. This Red half-forward<br />

has a Yellow defending him.<br />

2. 2 While this happens, the other Red forwards reposition<br />

themselves to either lead up at their teammate, or for<br />

a long kick to their advantage.<br />

3. 3 Red half-forward looks inside 50 and kicks the ball to<br />

the best option. Red forwards should be leading at<br />

Red half-forward, with one Red forward sliding back<br />

inside 50 as the longer option.<br />
