AFL: Sweeper Role in CB 

The sweeper role in the centre bounce is the most crucial position.
Patience, reacting to the tap, and preventing the opposition midfield from breaking out the front side of the centre bounce are all essential responsibilities of the sweeper.
As the sweeper, your role is to intercept the opposition tap, avoid getting drawn into the contest, and be ready to attack if your ruck wins the tap.
The Sydney Swans sweepers are currently excelling in this role. Their patience and starting positions are enabling them to both defend and attack effectively.
