Month: October 2025

It’s almost 2026 but a lot of coaches still use drills (I’ll get to that term later), from 1986 but it’s clearly time to reinvent your coaching practices and look at what elite team sport coaches are doing right now. WHAT WE CURRENTLY SEE Kicking from this cone to that cone to this cone to...

There’s 1 round to go until finals with 4 games this weekend with immediate implications for the final top 8. Essentially it comes down to Carlton v West Coast where the Eagles need to win to stay in, otherwise they drop to 9th (potentially 10th), and the Swans will take 8th (potentially 7th). My predictions...

Footy’s funny. Sydney finished 15th last season with a 3-8 record after an injury riddled season – West Coast finished 13th with a 4 – 7 record after Daisy’s first year at the helm. Before this round the win-loss records were both 6-5 but the Eagles were favorites to win this one to make finals,...

Last week I pleaded for Essendon to free whatever offense they had them, for Wales to totally dominate the ruck and give their mids first use and to not stack the back line – so how’d they go? They weren’t too bad over the course of the game while watching the game but I think...

If you want the season from hell than Essendon is your team where they have managed to slide down the ladder after every round. Round 1 – 2nd, 293% / Round 2 – 4th, 210% / Round 3 – 4th, 191% / Round 4 – 7th, 131% / Round 5 – 8th, 96% / Round...

In what we hoped might be a contest, really wasn’t as North Melbourne put the sword to the Crows with the Roos having the first 13 scoring shots of the game and 16 of the first 18 into the 3rd quarter. The Saints are on a run at the moment (6 in a row) where...

West Coast put an end to the Cats finals hopes in a rather lopsided win in the end. If the Eagles manage to make finals,they’ll have earned it more than anyone after facing Geelong, Sydney and Carlton in the final 3 rounds  – all teams vying for finals themselves. Daisy has as much buy-in as...

Port pulled off a sorta upset by defeating the Hawks who were without a 1st string ruck after Wales pulled out pre-game and killing my Supercoach team at the same time. Also being a tier-1 mid in Bates, the Hawks just didn’t have the depth and although they were -21 in hot outs, they were...

A couple of weeks ago I posted part 1 of this series that looked at different motor learning concepts/terms and how they pertain to footy, specifically scheduling (block v random), explicit v implicit learning, focus of attention, challenge point framework and feedback. Today we look a bunch more as we go off the mantra, you...
