Aussie Rules Training Drills: Huddle and Break
Huddle and Break

2.2Australian Football Drills

Aussie Rules Training Drills: Jump Early Ruckwork
Jump Early Ruckwork

Jumping early into the opposition ruckman can cause the ball to spill without either ruckman getting an effective tap. When used as a set play, this allows your followers to attack the space near the ruckman and be first to the loose ball. This tactic can be used if the opposition are getting on top in the ruck, or to mix things up.
