Aussie Rules Training

I went along to this one live Saturday night and the natives for both teams were certainly out and about. The Pies have been playing a game much closer to their 2022-24 style after I assume deliberately playing a very much slower, boundary-biased version early in the season with an ageing list. The Blues have...

The Swans are in a downturn at the moment and are in an iffy spot really. We have very winnable games on the way home so “shouldn’t” lose another game which means we finish 2nd and have 2 home finals where we just lost our 1st home game this season. The other side of that...

I didn’t find time to get this one up last week but it’s just a quick look at North Melbourne falling for the same kick out strategy 10mins apart in the very same quarter, but one we’ve seen in these game analysis posts at least a dozen times! I’ll catch on this week’s games by...

Youtube is being difficult, so all videos are individual in this post. Today we look at: Gulden Kick FREO BREAKING TACKLES WARNER SPLITS SLOW SYDNEY DEFENDERS TREACY LEADING PATTERNS FREO FORWARDS FREDERICK GOAL...

As a Sydney supporter, I’ve never a doubt that we can win every game we play but didn’t really see us in the form to beat Freo at home last Thursday night. Watching the 1st my lack of confidence in our team defense of late was put to ease as we simply smothered them in...

The Swans got back on the winning side of the ledger over a dwindling Western Bulldogs. The Dogs continues with their rolling back team defense which turned us into a kick-mark team and we only managed 366 meters gained by handball, our lowest for the year and which was actually bested by the Dogs at...

I actually didn’t get around to watching Coll/Rich from 10 days ago until this weekend so I’ve lumped it with the Coll/GC game from this past weekend. The Pies have the best team-system in the AFL to be in every game they play but not enough talent to win enough of them. Nick Daicos is...

The Lions are back in a big way and unfortunately for everyone else they still have Coleman, Zorko, Allen and McCluggage to come back into their probable best 18, let alone best 23. The Cats are sliding a touch at the moment having lost 3 of their past 4 with a bye in there as...

I had some left-over clips that focus on coaching concepts Like I usually do so here they are: Brisbane Kick Out Lions Corridor Space Brisbane Outnumber Advantage Lions Forwards Holding Deep Sydney Defending Brisbane Kick Out Sydney Forward 50 Stoppage Goal...

A bit of a different tact with the game analysis this week with a huge focus on the game itself then isolated coaching concepts like I normally do. Going into the game Brisbane had regained some form beating Gold Coast and Richmond by really doubling down on their stoppage/clearance game as well as transition defense....
