On an almost weekly basis, and if it hasn’t been then it could be if I highlighted all of them, we’ve seen forwards running back to goal, calling for the ball from a stationary ball carrier. The problem with this. apart from only having 16 players on the ground and defending with 12 – 14...
As mentioned in the video, Freo are sorely missing Kiara Bowers as she would be personally responsible for 15 – 20 clearances per game on her own with the clearances she does get, and the opposition clearances she stifles through her tackling. It’s no so much the total clearances (they’re -2 over the season by...
Round 7 of AFLW is completed which means it’s another dose of analysis clips from the weekend’s games. In the 3 clips fro today we look at: Adelaide applying frontal defensive pressure and getting the resultant intercept mark because of it. Stevie Lee-Thompson providing great wing support and then overlap run enabling her forwards to...
This is a study I just read last night and this morning that took some reading. It uses players from Gaelic Football consisting of 2 groups – senior players and under 17 players – who are both shown game clips which were then paused and then each discussed the options the ball carrier has, what...
In part 3 of 3 for this week I analyse: Collingwood not being able to recognise they have an outnumber opportunity that could have resulted in a far better kick inside 50 from a far better launching area. Geelong’s winger Bowen not getting length and limiting team connection because of it. Gold Coast Dupuy displaying...
For video 2 of 3 for this week I look at: How Melbourne set up at around the ground stoppages to build into their lane running. Excellent body work BEFORE the ball arrives by Eden Zanker in a 1v1 marking contest. Sydney not using the team frontal defense tactic and then unable to stop Port...
The Dogs started behind the 8-ball and are stuck playing catch up in 2023 with old injuries being replaced by new injuries to key players, so we;ll start with 4 clips of them + 1 from the Eagles today. First up we look at the dogs not taking the free territory in front of them...
Back in February I released 35 training activities that Collingwood used in their 2023 pre-season training, followed by 20 in-season training activities released in July and now we finish up season 2023 with another 13 different training activities used by Collingwood right up, and into, finals. Even as a Sydney Swans fan, it has a...
It only took 2 years for Craig McRae to take 14th placed Collingwood from 14th to Premiers. Masterful recruitment and trading (11 + Adams/Mihocek omissions of Collingwood’s 23 played the last game of 2021 prior to his signing) and masterful coaching from the entire Collingwood coaching group, shifted the needle probably more then any 2...
In the last of the 3 analyst posts for round 5 we’ll look at the final 4 clips. Port Adelaide not being able to get in front of the ball on defense while letting West Coast run forward of them inside 50 and score. Once again we see poor forward craft/connection, this time from Collingwood...
