The less spoken about this game the better with the Bulldogs totally wiping the Swans off the park in every facet of the game, almost putting them as premiership favorites right now even though they were just 11th and have only just wriggled their way into 8th spot. That being said in round 14 they...

Busy day yesterday with coaching all afternoon + Sydney and Collingwood playing on the same day + Olympics so I got through all of the close-to-pointless Sydney game (analysis post tomorrow) and most of the Collingwood game . In the Pies game I was simply watching to see of they were going to able to...

These notes comes from this study released in June of this year, looking at the perceptual-cognitive skills of expert and non-expert officials. As coaches and players I believe it’s crucial to know that the decision-making process of umpires is exactly the same as players and coaches, as you’ll read in these notes. This knowledge and...

It was a bit of the inevitable and also bad-timing for the Roos playing the ladder leading Swans on their home deck, after 2 straight losses and the return of favorite sons Callum Mills and Luke Parker for their 1st games in 2024 and in the end, it played out like so. In this game...

Due to Youtube being difficult I had to break this up into 3 parts so here’s another short video to finish this game off where we look at: Collingwood again going corridor at all costs, this time off a ball up, rather than go too wide where the ball goes into stoppage and their controlled...

Part 2 (of 3) of the Pies/Cats game from last Friday night. In this much shorter video we look at: De Goey being the a major go-to option in the corridor in his his usual spot Rucks becoming midfielders and creating outnumbers Collingwood running corridor in numbers with really no other thought...
