Aussie Rules Training

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.

I post a couple of these a year that compile whole watching and reading AFL content on TV/socials which have been referenced and the others are mostly me jotting stuff down in my phone. Hopefully you can use at least 1 of these 13 AFL craft tips this coming weekend. TALL FORWARDS – JOHN LONGMIRE...

I’m coaching the senior women again this year so I’m going to way back to November last year to day 1 of building out a training activity that we have gradually built and layered as the season has gone on. STEP 1 – INTENTION The intention is the end point so picture what that is...

Continuing on the theme of perception I’ve been running with intermittently, here’s more about it and what the differences are between the 2 which should really help you in being able to nail down raining each specifically. There is a difference between looking and seeing Gaze direction/fixations (looking) show where the eyes are directed but...

Essendon haven’t had much going for them in recent times but what they do have is a go-to center bounce play that they use in close games that has garnered excellent success as far as center bounces is concerned. To start with we look at a center bounce from 2024 and the last one from...
