Principles of team sports transcends multiple sports and is why coaches look at other sports to see how they apply them and how they could do the same to their benefit. Newly-crowned NBA Champs the Boston Celtics’ head coach Joe Mazzulla met with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola just before the NBA Finals who Mazzulla...

In part 2 of this game analysis we look at: Sydney’s high 6/6/6 press resulting in a goal from a Swans defender from just inside our own forward 50 Sydney’s full ground running power that creates 3 concurrent plays of overlap play resulting in a goal from 20m out 2 coming forward to defend plays...

The mighty Swans were finally able to win a 1st quarter, albeit 16 – 13, just prior to a 10 – 0 goal run in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. The score runs that Sydney have been going on of late are pretty frightening really, meaning no lead is safe against us but you also...

Continuing on from yesterday, the 2nd half of this game analysis shows the altered center bounce formation used by Collingwood, strongly dictated by score. It also shows more examples of Collingwood playing with reckless abandon but it’s all planned to go to certain area’s of the ground and they simply set up their players to...

This game absolutely had it all! The fast start to the huge underdog. The seemingly game-winning lead half way through the 3rd quarter. The question of will the Pies comeback happen yet again but when will it start? The comeback in question happening right in front of us. The Pies hitting the front. The Roos...

Part 2 today takes a quick look at: Ball Up Formation Kick Out Tactic Used Often in the Past Half Back Coming into Center Bounces Designated Hit Up Forward Boundary Throw In Formation Defensive/Fat Side Wing Papley Stoppage Goal...

Adelaide really put it to the Swans for 90% of the first half over the weekend, but with Sydney’s ridiculous 2nd halves this year (averaging 167%!!), the 4 point margin never looked enough to me. I took 15 different clips from this game with a lot of them focusing on the Swans staying connected through...

Had the week my playing and coaching footy this past weekend so I was able to watch more games a lot more closely then normal. On footy weeks I make sure to catch Sydney and Collingwood games live or on replay then if something else looks interesting to me then I’ll give that a look...

There were some very interesting pieces of vision from this game despite Melbourne barley giving a wimper and made way worse by the Petracca injury. As has been the theme the last little while, I’m still keeping a very keen eye on Collingwood center bounce clearances where this week they again used the same tactic...

The might Swans are absolutely flying and I’m here for all of it after witnessing the 2022 Grand Final in person! In the 6 clips from this game we look at: The Sydney wing, Gulden, getting depth and width for shot on goal 2 clips showing the Swans pressing up extremely hard towards the ball...
