I've done heaps of solo AFL training, the best drill was to put a target 30 m away (tackle bag, wheelie bin) then do a bouncing run of 20-30 meters and try to hit the target. Alternate between left and right foot. The more tired you get the harder it gets to hit the target.

Dont really need to practice that, some players have natural talent in that dept.

It depends what level your looking to play but from experience if you plan on playing in a local comp there are to things that will split you from the crowd:
kicking
workrate
If you can hit a target whilst moving at a decent speed your are set. The best way to practice kicking is with a partner but if this isn't possible like already mentioned find a park with a bench or a light pole. practice kicking from about 25-35 meters trying to hit the target. if you miss it becomes a running drill and u attempt from the opposite side. The key point with kicking is maintain a straight line. your shoulders should be square the target. if u want more kicking technique advice let me know.
As for workrate: repeat sprints is the key here. Start of by building a decent fitness base. build up long distant runs till you are comfterble running around 10km. From there interval training is the way to to. Stuff like fartlek (20 Seconds sprint: 40 seconds jog recovery) for 15-20mins, Pyramid running (100m, 200, 400, 200, 100) are the type of things u want to be doing. you might find plyometric or repeat hill sprint work beneficial but it depends how much work u want to put in.
