Hi everyone! No you're not going crazy, this is an old video that we've changed slightly and decided to reupload.

[@Lxchyy7]

Hey mate, Just wanted to know if you could cover the rebounders

[@LuisMartinelli]

Hey, guys! First of all, I'd like to congratulate you for the sensational work. I'm a Brazilian footy fan and I began to watch AFL last year. These AFL EXPLAINED videos are awesome and they've helped me to understand the game even more. I'd like to suggest you a video about the rover play near the goal posts, like how this works, how to defend against it, these kinds of stuff. Thanks for your incredible work

[@janinea333]

Thank you for explaining this. Could you explaining about tackling please. Such as an illegal tackle, high tackling, a tackle where the ball is turned over to the opponent because of …

[@benjobonjo]

Gotta love footy A to Z posting 2 afl explained in less than an hour

[@thatswhatshesaid6889]

Great video and great explanation

[@imalwaysright]

The rucks are always holding each other, it’s one of the anomalies of the game

[@bobcratchit6431]

Hey man love the series could you please make videos on rovers, forward pockets and/or back pockets? Basically the positions for shorter players. I would really appreciate it since I’m starting footy this year and im one of if not the shortest on my team. Keep up the great footy content.

[@nickcowling2744]

Love these videos. Keep them up!

[@imalwaysright]

You do good explanations 👏🏻👏🏻

[@FootyA2Z]

Cheers mate

[@cryptic6917]

idk if this has already been explained or not but what role does the "third tall" in the back line have? Are their roles the exact same as a key defender or are they a bit more dynamic than that?

[@benlovesbasketball881]

I have been moved to a key defender role in my team. Could you go in depth to how to be the best I can to increase my teams chances of winning

[@FootyA2Z]

Hi Ben, We'd suggest you closely watch the keys in this finals series to get an idea of their positioning and bodywork. Alex Rance Highlights will also help you out here. make some notes about what works and what doesn't and take them with you to try out for pre-season. The best keys also work as a team with their defence so while we don't have an explicit Key Backs video yet, Definitely check out our 'loose player in defence' video if you haven't already :)

[@officialsjc4423]

Who was the shortest ruckmen in the afl? Also can a ruck men be like short but have the speed to run around the center bounces and maybe contest with the other ruckman with athletic jumping ability?

[@Beverage-tj9dc]

Forward

[@alexleung7127]

JACKSON!!!!!!

[@jackpiggott6594]

Ruck men are nothing without supreme rovers,
