How to beat the Western Bulldogs star Sam Darcy

The preparation of Darcy to jump and extend the arms to meet the ball makes it extremely difficult for opponents to ruin without cutting the arms.

A figure of the football department of another club, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were talking about a rival, said that getting more numbers to compete in the air could help.

This, said the rival, would help to obscure the image with more arms and legs, making the judging for the referees more difficult, even if it would also leave the most vulnerable defenses to the soft drops, which allow small attackers to mark or create pressure.

The key, therefore, is to prevent Darcy from running and jumping to the ball, says the former Adelaide Brenton Sanderson coach. When the game was in line last week, Moore used his most seasoned chassis to fight with Darcy, allowing Jeremy Howe to develop his opponent and take a sign of allevia.

In half a minute of the middle, a storm of Moore was unbalanced Darcy shortly before launching the competition, forcing the striker under the ball. But not all the defenders have the intelligent of Moore, grown for 11 years at the highest levels.

“In general, those guys from that height would have done a lot of Ruck’s training,” Sanderson of Darcy said. “They fight, Jockey for the best position. Even if you try to make the body before the ball arrives at the competition, it will probably be stronger than you in a struggle for the best position.

“He took you for height, strength of the body. Every time he will take one against one, the lights, the game.”

In the era of the team defense, it is not up to a single defender to stop an attacker. The pressure on the field leads to inaccurate kicks within 50 which give the opportunity to ruin.

“I think we can recognize that any defense will break if we are not lit with our pressure around the ball,” said Carlton Michael Voss coach, whose blues have the job this week to stop Darcy.

“We will make as hard as possible and try to get that ball as higher as possible.”

The slowdown of the ball movement gives the teams more time to drop a Ruckman in the main space of the attacker and other defenders to return to help, violating, marking or jumping into Darcy.

“Nobody likes,” Sanderson said. “The older and thinner boys younger, if you are repeatedly jumped by a third sweater, which becomes rather tiring. You are getting sick and mistreated.

“This is all fantastic in theory and good on a blackboard but much more difficult to perform because he is an intelligent player. I can say he was really well trained.”

Not all defenders n. 1 get work on the best opposition striker, the thought among the coaches is that they can use their most skilled backman in a more striker role. The deployment of Moore by Collingwood on Darcy suggests that some players must have the utmost respect.

The figure of the Department of Football Rivale said that defenders such as Harris Andrews of Brisbane, Tom Barrass of Hawthorn and Alex Pearce of Fremantle were among the few backmen who had both height and body skills to stop Darcy.

Sanderson said he would give the work this week to the American defender Jacob Weitering, who is shorter than 13 cm of Darcy.

“Sometimes you can think about it too much,” Sanderson said. “Put your best defender on him, but make sure you have a ready -made plan.”

If Weitering fails to do the work, then the defender’s nightmare will have become reality.

“At the moment, it seems that it will be a horror match-up for the opposition,” Sanderson said. “If it remains in shape and confident, and the Bulldogs continue to enter the 1950s, we will start talking about him who wins a coleman because it will be impossible to stop.”
