  • Michael VOSS – Brisbane Lions KICKING
    Michael VOSS – Brisbane Lions KICKING Kicking is the most important skill in Australian Football. The basic skill of kicking should be taught at a young age and any faults rectified before it is too late. It is important players learn the right technique while they are young so that later in their careers, they will be able to demonstrate the ability to (a) kick under pressure, (b) pass the ball accurately to a teammate and (c) use the ball to the best advantage of their side when kicking from a set position. Try to study the kicking style of some of the AFL’s best kicks, such as Matthew Lloyd (shooting for goal), Nathan Buckley (length), Leon Cameron (each foot) James Hird (accuracy) and Craig Bradley (technique). Main Teaching Points Line up your body with your target. Have your head slightly bent 1 over the ball. Hold the ball over the thigh of the kicking leg. 2 Guide the ball down with one hand. 3 Point your toes at your target — see the ball hit the foot. 4 Follow through straight towards the target. These four fundamentals apply to every kick. More information about each type of kick is given in the following pages. GREAT SKILLS, GREAT PLAYERS 8 Matthew PAVLICH – Fremantle DROP PUNT 1. The Grip The fingers are spread evenly along each side of the ball, with thumbs extending to the lacing. The grip is the same for both left and right foot kicks. 2. The Release The ball is guided down and kicked on the bottom point, along the lower laces of the boot.

    DO IT FOR THE JUMPER THE CROWS JUMPER'S FIRST 25 YEARS This page is intentionally blank DO IT FOR THE JUMPER! THE CROWS JUMPER'S FIRST 25 YEARS PREFACE There were several catalysts or reasons behind the writing and production of this book - the history and heritage of the club jumper. The history - a systematic record of the design, development, changes and use of what the Australian Football community recognises as the Adelaide Football Club playing strip. The heritage - the tradition, importance and cultural influence that the jumper engenders, represents and plays within the culture of the Club, its players, members, fans and supporters. The Heritage Committee was established for the purposes of ensuring that the history, the culture and the achievements of the Adelaide Football Club are preserved for the present and future generations of members and fans of the Club and for football and its supporters in general. One of the key purposes of the committee, identified in its charter, is to provide leadership and make recommendations to the AFC Board in matters relating to the heritage of the club and nominates the club jumper as a significant heritage item, sacrosanct in fact. The Heritage Committee was asked to have input into the recognition and celebration of the Club's 25th year. One suggestion it made was to look at not records, achievements, games or individuals but to focus on a constant throughout the 25 years - the club jumper. Recently, a secondary school student, Lachlan Avery, asked the Club for help with a project he was doing.
