Coaching Objective:
To give the attacker a selection of skills to be able to eliminate the defender when on the baseline in the circle.
Purpose:
When in a tight area in the circle and on the baseline, the attacker is in control of the situation, therefore having the skills to elimintate in such a dangerous attacking position will create threatening goal scoring opportunities.
The original body position sets up this skill, putting the doubt into the defenders mind as to whether the attacker will pass, look for a foot or attempt to eliminate. By having the right carrying position, it gives the attacker the ability to carry out all three options.
