In today’s game analysis we look at some structure/formation vision. Teams of lesser talent need to put more importance on organisation as at least your players can be in better positions and better decisions are made from better positions. It also keeps the ball where you have players positioned so you can always at least...

A tale of 2 halves this bad boy with the result taking my Swans from a mathematical chance to a “mathematical chance” now. With a pressure rating of over 200 in the first half and then to finish at 175 for the entire game means we must have went at 150 tops for the 2nd...

In my opinion, the biggest thing missing from local/amateur football is what I call 666 Connection which refers to all players and all lines staying connected, without any major gaps of space between them. Defensively, these gaps in connection simply provide more leading space options for forwards and thus more area to cover when you’re...

TBF’s greatly assist in all players being able to carry in-game tasks in a highly cohesive manner. In local/community footy the continuum from your best to worst player in any given round is vast regardless of the 23 named for that day. Some players have high game intelligence but lesser action capabilities, some are the...

Freo may have finally moved into some sort of contention after their win against the Pies at the G on the weekend, although it’ll be a near impossible task to win from outside the top 4 this year as home advantage is probably going to reign supreme come finals time. That being said they are...

This game didn’t hit any great heights except for the Rolls Royce performance of Isaac Heeney. Compiling 34 possessions with 16 contested, 13 clearances, 8 marks, 5 tackles and kicking 5 goals on top of that is surely performance of the year material and will take some game to top it. Hence this game analysis...

We all know that the quickest way to goal is through the corridor so it stands to reason that Your ball movement and/or player positioning, needs to be developed in accordance to that, and Collingwood do it better than anyone. They are willing, and literally coached, to go corridor from anywhere on the ground at...

The Saints are pretty close at the moment and the Swans tiny chance of still making finals still stands although teams who we needed to lose won on the weekend so it actually closed more then it opened! I Tweeted during the week that Brodie Grundy now has to be a serious consideration to over...

This was a banger of a contest where we saw the best of both sides with Gold Coast’s first half dominance then the to-be-expected comeback from the Pies in the second half of the game. What we probably didn’t expect, and hadn’t seen yet, was the Suns’ ability to go again very late in the...

I first noticed full-team lane running by the Sydney Swans back in 2021 when our offense first starting exploding but there’s still only them and Collingwood who use it regularly and it is a staple of launching from half back for both teams. In the women’s game, Melbourne and North Melbourne have jumped on board...
