Last week I posted notes from an article by Mark O’ Sullivan on perception and then came along a part 2 so here’s the notes from that one as well! if you’ve never seen them play before then start with 15mins of 8v8 to develop your knowledge of the environment to inform you on how...

My tipping took a bit of a hit this weekend with the upsets where I tipped 4, including Richmond. Everything was going well until Saturday where North finally beat someone not in the bottom 5, Sydney finally losing after not looking not as good the past 2 – 3 weeks as they were previously, the...
