Resource AFC Coaches Manual

[1970crow]

Good thread but all those who have you on ignore wont see it.

NON-STASTICICAL ROLE - for experienced players who cant get the ball and the coaches create a term to keep them in the team before eventually dumping them

Little edit.

 

[Scorpus]

COMPETES AT GROUND LEVEL - A player that can't win clean possession and whose only real ability is tackling and/or pressure

BRINGS THE BALL TO GROUND - A tall player that can't mark

 

[OldCrowBloke]

AWARENESS - the player can barely raise a hobble, but should be right on the day

 

[Scorpus]

SUB ROLE - The role you put an injured player in

 

[WeeBlake]

HALF FORWARD FLANKER - usually around 180cm and the best player to bomb the ball on top of with a forward entry.

This one is wrong. It should read “the best position for promising young midfielders”

 

[WeeBlake]

KICK INS - much like the performance of the national anthem, we know what we like and we don’t want nothing fancy or unexpected

 

[Jack McKraken]

SUPPORTER CRITICISM
The best way to respond to supporter criticism is to let them know if they don’t like what we are doing, they can find another team to support.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

POSITIONING YOURSELF FOR A PREMIERSHIP
Make the 8 and anything can happen

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Being an unused travelling emergency and not playing for a week is much more valuable for a young player than a full game in the reserves

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT (CONTINUED)
Young players must knock the door down with consistently strong performances in the reserves

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

CONTINUITY
Players benefit from long, unbroken stretches of football in the 22 regardless of their form or the team's performances*

*does not apply to young players. Chopping and changing with them does no harm at all and is fact encouraged

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

EXPERIENCE
Do not pick young players in the 22 until they have significant AFL experience

 

[Dudersaurus]

EXPERIENCE
Do not pick young players in the 22 until they have significant AFL experience

And linked to number of games alone, not useful contribution in games.

"TICKED ALL THE BOXES" - injured senior player selected.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

UNCHANGED LINEUP
Team selection after a demoralising loss
(also see BACK THE BOYS IN TO RESPOND)

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

SMALL FORWARD
Key target for inside 50 entries

 

[Scorpus]

PLAYED HIS ROLE - A player that wasn't worst on ground, but did absolutely nothing to help us get the win

 

[WeeBlake]

SENIOR CORE - this is the group of players who need to play every week so that the losses will be smaller and to give the younger players the chance to maybe have a win in the twos.

 

[WeeBlake]

UNCOMPROMISING - only the truly brave will stick to their guns through persistent failure

 

[WeeBlake]

INCLUSIVE - we welcome everybody, especially the very few willing to be our coaches

 

[WeeBlake]

PROUD - in the modern era, we stand with only Sydney, West Coast and Geelong in our proud record of making finals most years

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

INJURED PLAYER - if a senior player, play them if they are a developing player rest them.
If they are a senior but you 100% know they won’t make a full game, name them as sub.

INJURY AWARENESS - player only has a slight concern & only be rested for a week... or whole season once we have really worked out what is wrong.

OFF SEASON SURGERY
January-February is the perfect time for players to get their operation done

 

[Klug]

INSIDE THESE FOUR WALLS
Used to provide credibility to strengthen the statement that is to come, and often dismiss valid criticism

 

[Scorpus]

HANDBALLING

Do's:

• Aim for the feet
• Stationary players are good targets
• Dispose backwards
• The shorter the handball, the better
• Take as long as possible to release the ball
• Find the ruckman, last in the chain if possible

Don'ts:

• Aim for the hands or chest
• Dispose forwards
• Deliver it to our advantage
• Handball with speed or precision

This reminds me of that MS paint post someone did (back in the podsiadly era iirc)
