I’ve somehow edited these clips in reverse order of the game but today we look at: The next to last play we’ve all seen already Luke Ryan getting drawn to the ball, not impacting at all, and leaving his direct opposition open behind him 85m Bice defensive run Freo having their own crack at a...
COGNITION IN ELITE FOOTBALLERS STUDY PART 2
Stage 2 evaluates the current relevant response options in order to select/execute a particular action with response options being heavily narrowed down by the situation assessment from stage 1 which activates only a few responses in the player’s procedural long term memory Response options are simultaneously activated in specific neural populations within motor-related areas of...
HAWTHORN v CARLTON GAME ANALYSIS
As much as it pains me to say, the Hawks are awe-inspiring at the moment – winning in so many different ways it’s near-impossible to nail them down when have so many different game phases they can play through. I assume Geelong will keep Geelonging though to Easter Monday so I can’t wait to see...
COGNITION IN ELITE FOOTBALLERS STUDY
2 – 3 times a year I come across a study that’s about 25 pages long that sucks me in and I have to read it word-for-word while I’m typing out notes from it which than cuts it down to about 10 pages and this study did just that (29 into 14 pages to be...

Form these games...
GWS v COLLINGWOOD GAME ANALYSIS
It’s never as good as it seems (GWS and Callaghan), and it’s never as bad as it seems (Collingwood, listless). Let’s hope for at least for 1 of these teams that is the case as it’s a trench-like drop off if it is! In this 6min, 4 clip analysis we look at: Nathan Buckley talking...
SYDNEY v HAWTHORN GAME ANALYSIS
In what has turned out to be the last Saturday without any sort of footy for 9 months and a very slow day at that,here’s my game analysis clips from last night’s game while I have ample time to put it together and post it. Impressive from the Hawks to win in a different way...
