This is one of the moves I wanted my team to see before the training session because. We are playing a 2 2 defence ( with 2 line man)
Key points.
That the back up player does run up to dummy take the drag flick.
The stick stopper waits for the slip until this player is passed the ball
and the slip player has to start pretending to be the striker and drift left. and on receiving the ball this player needs to drag the ball 2 - 3 m before theslip right. ( to avoid the 2nd runner ( so don't pass it to early)
Player scoring has to stay very low and face the direction of the pass with stick on the ground ( deflect the ball rather then trying to play the ball)
