2 absolute cracker prelim finals over the weekend with a combined winning margin of a measly 5pts! We could very easily be looking at an Adelaide/Geelong GF but that’s how close the top end of AFLW is, even if the drop off from about 5th down is a quite dramatic but in the end the...
I received this email from a member Aussie Rules Training over the weekend: “…I’ve coached Senior Women for the last 5 years and tackling is one area I can’t seem to nail in an organised drill. I can demonstrate the technique but wondered if there was anything structured I could use?…” My quick initial response...
About a month ago I posted a very short excerpt from a book I had just completed titled “How We Learn to Move” by skill acquisition specialist Rob Gray and now with some AFLW winding down I can finally start posting the numerous noted I took from it. I’m sure you’ll get plenty our of...

We continue on from the Crows total demolition of my up-and-coming Swans then move to the Melbourne/Geelong game. The Cats, list-wise, underperformed a touch in the home-and-away season, losing to Essendon and Collingwood and only beating 1 team in the 8 (Sydney) coupled with mostly unconvincing wins against lesser opponents. Forever it’s been the big...
After a late season charge, the Swans run out of juice Saturday night and like we always knew, showed the gaping hole between the top 4 (now the top 5!) and the rest of the AFLW. While still in only our 2nd season in existence, the loss of our ruck and main forward target hurts...
I did one of these a while back which are training activities I have in my files simply sitting there as I accumulate them quicker than I post them so here’s another 10 you can use on day 1 of pre-season! ROV OFF COACHES BAG 3 groups at each end with the middle player starting...
The writing was a bit on the wall for the Bombers after losing to a Gold Coast without their best player last week and they just lost form at the wrong time of the season. They’re still a a couple of players on every line away from really competing at the top end of the...
Gold Coast were in hot form going into this one on their home deck with a definitive win against finalist Essendon without their best player in the last round of the season to clinch a finals berth themselves. They still had Whitford, Drennan and Single in the midfield, ruck dominance as the Swans have gone...
