It’s been a disappointing year for both teams in 2023 with even their respective coaches having their moment’s publicly which never helps when you’re losing heavily. That being said I picked the Dogs to get the win as I just couldn’t see Ellie Blackburn not getting them over the line – and she did! Here’s...
Gold Coast have progressed nicely this season, having been in the top 8 for the majority of the year off the back of midfield dominance, especially on the contested side of things but also improving on the outside as well. GWS have had their moments but are still about 1 player per line away from...
This is a 2-way training activity that helps in offensive players searching, identifying and passing to open options in a relatively fast play situation while the defending team are constantly deciding whether to push up and defend or holds back, and who will do either of those actions at any given time. Here’s the video...
In part 2 of 2 for round 7 we get our 2nd tick lead of the season on a fast play going inside 50, this time directly resulting in a goal to GWS. Doyle runs to goal to generate length and get Peterson’s back to the ball which is really the main goal of running...
Last week I posted a video from Soccer showing how they drew their defenders forward and away from defending their goal, eventually creating space between the player compactness and the goal, and this being able to play through the opposition and into the space for an easy score. I talked about how this same principle...
I’ve been banging on about the inadequacy of cone drills for years now but they still seem to be in fashion at all levels of football but if this doesn’t change your mind on them then I don’t know where to go from here! I’ve also just finished up reading a solid read, being How...
Outside of the Matilda’s earlier this year, I’ve probably watched 5 full games of Soccer in my life,and even that might be a stretch. So even though I’m not the biggest fan, the use of Soccer tactics in AFL has drawn me to watching various tactic clips pretty daily on Twitter and read up a...
This activity had a bit much going on to video so I’ve had to break it up into 8 images but once it’s set up its pretty simple. It has 3 teams but 2 colors, with the aim being to transition the ball from 1 end to the other. First we set up the playing...
On an almost weekly basis, and if it hasn’t been then it could be if I highlighted all of them, we’ve seen forwards running back to goal, calling for the ball from a stationary ball carrier. The problem with this. apart from only having 16 players on the ground and defending with 12 – 14...
As mentioned in the video, Freo are sorely missing Kiara Bowers as she would be personally responsible for 15 – 20 clearances per game on her own with the clearances she does get, and the opposition clearances she stifles through her tackling. It’s no so much the total clearances (they’re -2 over the season by...
