Coach Re Freddy

[anchor man]

Please can a coach from the Dockers teach Michael Frederick to leap for marks off one foot rather than a vertical leap with both feet together.
It is a basic part of the game.
If you jump vertically, you give your opponent more space to punch the ball away from your hands.Your hands do not reach out in front as happens with a one foot,or leg jump.
Off one foot, your arse goes back towards your opponent.One of your feet goes back as well, also giving protestion.Your hands are out in front of your eyes.You land on one leg, you are ready to propel away once landing.
It is a basic I learnt way back in my junior football in Boulder.
Freddy is the only player I have seen try to mark like that.
A basic coaching thing.

Freddy looks awkward AF in marking contests.go to move I'd jump as high as he can with arms outstretched with zero body work. But like suggested that's what coaching is for.

Membrey from St Kilda has always marked with a standing jump with two feet and he goes ok.

Percy Johnson always jumped off both feet In marking contests. Can’t remember what he did when rucking.

Freddy was good today

He plays better imo on bigger ovals to burn players off
