AFL Ruck Tap Into Space at Stoppages
This is highly underrated, and it was fantastic to witness it a few times during Round 23.
When positioned forward of centre, AFL teams should take more risks by having their rucks tap the ball into open space to create movement during stoppages.
This approach unsettles the opposition, and since it’s in your forward half, you can control the running patterns and set plays.
In these highlights, you'll see the value of a well-executed ruck tap out of congested areas, leading to scoring opportunities.

AFL Collingwood Centre Bounce Strategy
Great observations. A precise ruck tap to advantage is a powerful too. As a Freo fan I’m disappointed we let Meek go. He’s far more mobile than Darcy and less injury prone too.
What about port vs hawthorn with 30 seconds left? Surely that would of been the best centre bounce for the season... 😅
@@MegaDeadlychicken it was a good clearance however Meek won the hit out and Port sharked the tap. The video’s highlighted are ones that the team won to create the clearance. Thanks for tuning in. Jeff
Brilliant analysis Jeff
And when you add Tommy Papley into the mix…
Nice one mate 👍
Nice one 👌👌
Great assessment.....loved it.
Glad you liked it
Just saw this, excellent work. I wish the AFL media were this good at analysing plays.
Thanks for the kind words. I'll continue to analysis stoppages and rucks to provide more in-depth knowledge on how teams combat each other.
Fabulous analysis, we need and want more of this kind of analysis.
@@michaeldavis144 thanks for the comment
Came from Holding the Bull, great analysis!
This is great stuff
Fantastic breakdown, cheers.
@@Taeao5 my pleasure, I hope it made sense. Jeff
Nice video mate! I havent seen any other channels on youtube analysing footy this way. Have you considered making longer videos? Im a massive nba fan and really enjoy the channels that go in depth to break down games in a similar way Subbed!
@@clumeroo noted. I’m focussing on 2-2:30mins for now to fit in with other socials. Work in progress. Thanks for the feedback and comments. Jeff
Holding The Bull guided me over here and told me to subscribe. I thought I'd come over here, check out your channel and decide for myself... So I have. Good content, well done, subscribed.
@@izzy-fs7no welcome and thanks for subscribing, Jeff White.
Same, been watching this content and it is really good
Great insight, brilliantly spotted
Great insight! Coll won alot of clearances 2nd and 3rd but Carlton got back on top 4th. I was hoping for your insight on how they won them back Cheers
this is exactly the type of AFL content I have been looking for! I am ecstatic by this and the potential future of more breakdowns just like this. explained so well and clearly, especially for someone like me that doesn't feel like they understand how footy works as naturally as those around me. thank you so much for making this and happily subscribing for more!
@@xcessiveOverlord thanks for the comment, glad it made sense, Jeff
It’s not “he watches very close”, its “he watches very closely”! Stop all this American English, it’s simply wrong!!
Don't highlight it. Let people gloss over how good freo are. Make finals easier on us
Dees got schooled
Fremantle's gamestyle has really evolved before our eyes. Their stoppage and clearance are highly rated. Their ability to counter turnover and move the ball quicker towards the attacking 50 and defense is ultra good and well structured. That's what make a top 4 team, or I dare say could possibly make a premiership team.
Players staying on their opposite and making sure they can’t interfere with the ball was also great.
Awesome review mate
Zach is always on the defensive side in the ruck. He gets first receive and moves us forward. Nothing wrong with that unless he has a tight tag
hey mate, these vids are absolutely epic. Such good analysis and way more in depth than any of the big footy shows. Just a thought - package together 3 or four games worth of analysis into one video so that you get closer to that 10 minute mark. So much more palatable for youtube I reckon, and heaps of scope to compare and contrast whatever it is you want to talk about. One of my new favourite channels keep it up!
@@beaustella2062 thanks for the kind words. Slow build up for those minutes. Short sharp assessments to branch over several channels at the moment. Thanks heaps for taking the time to provide your feedback.

Love your breakdown of this! We chatted about your vid on our recap podcast this evening and included the link to your channel in show notes for our listeners. Really, really awesome insights into a part of the game that the three of us admittedly don't know nearly enough about! - The Chaps
@@thechapschatcats3741 awesome guys, thanks for chatting about it, I appreciate it. I hope your listeners get a better insight. Jeff
I certainly did I am one of their longest listeners. Very insightful and interesting thanks for the video first_use.
Dons need parish back badly
This is great content
George Wardlaw looks good in this footage as well. Great to have George in there to learn from LDU. LDU, Wardlaw, Sheezel and McKercher are going to be a gun midfield with a mix of inside grunt and outside run with elite delivery. LDU openly committing to a future at North has been one of the off field highlights for this North supporter this year.
Great video! GO SHINBONERS 🤍💙🤍💙🤍
this entire hightlight reel used to be West Coast and West Coast only. sad to see
Really great footage, mate. The insights are exceptional. Keep them coming.
Good analysis, thanks
Mullah jack
Jake in the centre clearance is unstoppable, ask Dangerfield 👊🏼
great vid!
this should be on tv, i actually learn stuff from each of your videos...makes me realise how much of nothing the nuffties on fox and nine spew each week
Great to hear, glad it makes sense for you to learn and take note. Jeff
Great vids
Understanding and faith in your team mate to successfully accomplish these sorts of tasks is key to many of these roles, great explanation 👍
Mate this is great. I would love to see this a little more in-depth though. Like a 10 minute video on the split-second decision making by the Bont is important. Another thing I think that you could explain is the body contact with your opponent (Fyfe) at the right time. Not engaging at the start of the ball up gives your opposition a chance to hold onto you. Bont doesn't touch till the right time and then pushes Fyfe legally and creates space for him to run onto the ball. Things like that, I would love to see.
I’m glad you like. Trying to keep messaging short. In relation to body work, you’ll see he makes this when the ball goes up. What happens when the balls goes up? All players heads go up, that’s when you engage your opponent. Jeff
That is cunning! High IQ
great work
Thanks so much for your videos Jeff. Invaluable stuff, such amazing insights in bitesize chunks. I pass it all directly on to my 15 year old!
How have I not come across your channel until now! Brilliant analysis. Now watching the full backlog. Subbed!
Thanks Paul. Channel only very new, FirstUse only very new. Enjoy, Jeff White
top analysis, subscribed!
I was at the game on Sunday. Therefore I could only see what was happening when the ball was in proximity of where I was sitting. It was only the next day when I watched the four quarter highlights on my phone did I appreciate Brody Grundy's role as ruck in the boundary throw-ins. Yes Taylor Adams was also instrumental, but Grundy's accurate taps to his teammates within kicking distance for goal were absolutely superb. I can think of at least 4 goals that the Swans kicked were on Grundy's ruck work. Well done Swans.
smaller and lighter bodied ruckmen cannot win without jumping at every contest
Smaller and lighter rucks can't jump at every contest now with the new arm rule, they get pushed away easily from the drop of the ball. They need to adapt, change angles + jump.
Smaller Lighter than what ? who ? 🤔. Seriously
Some great analysis there.....nice work mate.
The SCG isn’t “such a small ground”, bro. It’s 155 meters goal to goal v MCG 160 meters goal to goal. This myth needs to be dispelled …
Yes, it's hilarious. Kardinia Park is probably the smallest. It's thin as.
