Grubber kick

It can produce irregular bounces making it difficult for the opposing team to secure possession.

The kick is rare in Australian rules football, usually seen only in rushed, close proximity shots for goal.

A fast kick close to or along the ground in Australian rules football is sometimes also referred to as a worm burner.

To execute a grubber, the ball is held on each side in an upright position slightly tilted toward the body.

The release and the contact with the ball is the most important aspect and the most defining feature of the execution from other kicks.
