Bearing some ridiculous change in form and upset wins and what-could-actually-happen losses for teams around them, the Pies look out of contention for the 8 in season 2024. In 1 of his press conferences last week, Fly said something along the words of “we still need to be who we are”, and this weeks game...

+1 KICKING GAME TRAINING ACTIVITY
This training activity is a quick kicking game you can use with a group of any size. It’s a training activity with a single focus (find a mark) which is often overlooked as we try and cram multiple game aspects together which in turn then broadens the focus and nothing really gets enough focus to...
SYDNEY SWANS PLAYER FORMATIONS
I went to the Sydney/Saints game last weekend and while I was waiting for my mate t get there, I took a few snaps of how Sydney set up for different scenarios in the game. The photos aren’t of the greatest quality as I was also stuffing my face with an overly-expensive and underwhelming chicken...
ST KILDA v SYDNEY GAME ANALYSIS PART 2
In part 2 today we look at: Sydney coming forward to defend to regain possession Saints out-working the Swans during transition offense Sydney feeling the St Kilda pressure and going against what they normally do Sydney setting up with multiple lines in front of the ball...
ST KILDA v SYDNEY GAME ANALYSIS
My Swannies have trailed off in recent weeks but never fear, this is the worst time of the season for a team clear on top with plenty of games to go but not wanting to try and maintain finals-winning form the entire time so I think we’ll be OK, especially with Parker and Mills to...
COLLINGWOOD v ESSENDON GAME ANALYSIS
Well the Pies look close to cooked for season 2024 with new injuries on a weekly basis and my predicted ladder (which is changing almost every game at the moment) has them in 10th and missing finals. It’s looked like they’ve just been off the pace for most of the season and Fly has this...
THE NICK DAICOS TRAINING ACTIVITY
After THAT Nick Daicos goal from the weekend, highlighted in the game analysis earlier this week, here’s a training activity that focuses on players getting ti multiple contests and staying in the play continuously. You would have heard me say in many of the game analysis videos that the player who just disposes of the...
MATT ROWELL, TAKE A BOW!
As impressed with the title of this post, I was even more impressed by the next-to-last play of the Gold Coast/Collingwood game and in particular, Matt Rowell. Don’t let his eating habits distract you, the kid is a beast! As great as Daicos was just minutes earlier, having 3 possessions in a center bounce clearance...
GOLD COAST v COLLINGWOOD GAME ANALYSIS PART 2
Today we finish off analysing the Suns/Pies game where we look at: Maynard instantly looking to go corridor from right on the boundary line The extreme pressure from the Gold Coast midfield, giving the Pies a taste of their own surge mentality Collingwood kick out going on the attack without hesitation Pendlebury’s transitioning from defense...
BRISBANE v MELBOURNE + GOLD COAST v COLLINGWOOD GAME ANALYSIS
Nothing to take from the Sydney/Freo game this week as the Dockers took pretty much everything away from the Swans over the weekend and apart from some individual brilliance from McLean and Blakey, we don’t have the chance to steal that at the end like we did. Instead I have some clips from Brisbane/Melbourne, with...
