Individual excellence in footy is great to watch but it is more often team efforts that produce success.
In this footage the two are combined.
One North Footscray player (red and white) smothers the kick of his Albanvale opponent allowing a teammate to take possession of the ball and goal.

I have been watching Aussie Rules Footy seriously since 1967.
It astonishes me now just how much fun it can be to watch local football. Now that there is no free to air football from the AFL professionals on Saturdays, I urge other people in Australia to consider shifting their allegiances to local clubs. Its cheaper, its friendlier and it can be just as good to watch.
For instance, I cannot remember seeing more scintillating evasion of tackles in any code of football at any level than the play of number 68 for North Footscray in yesterday’s game against Wyndham Vale.
First of all a “Don’t Argue.” when not in possession of the ball. Then four blind turns in four seconds. 180 degrees clockwise. 90 degrees clockwise. 90 degrees clockwise again.. Then 90 degrees anticlockwise.
