When we talk about the elite players, yes we’re talking about physical abilities but what leads to those is perception. The perception of what’s happening around them (knowledge in the game) and patterns of play that have happened beforehand (knowledge of the game) that enables players to perceive and process game inf0rmation in a split...

SYDNEY v COLINGWOOD GAME ANALYSIS
A very, very interesting game Friday night between the Swans and Pies. The Pies are THE most organised team in the AFL and with a team down on personnel, a solid plan was always going to be in place for this one, especially around taking away corridor use for the Swans, that North were able...
BRISBANE/CARLTON + GEELONG/COLINGWOOD GAME ANALYSIS
Funny game this one where Brisbane pulled a Carlton and Carlton pulled a…reverse Carlton! That being said the Lions clearly took the foot off the pedal in the 2nd half but the Blues did play well, albeit for their usual 2 quarters. The Cats have been going OK and the Pies just going but I...
NORTH MELBOURNE v SYDNEY GAME ANALYSIS
My local team had the bye this past weekend which worked out perfectly in actually getting to see the Swans play live in Melbourne and to top that up I was able to sit in a box directly behind the goals whicvh was elite! North were very good in this one, had a chance to...
SYDNEY v CASEY VFL GAME ANALYSIS
The Sydney Swans/Casey Demons VFL game was televised over the weekend so I thought I’d give it a look to see the level of AFL/VFL alignment in regards to game modelling for the Swans. It’s safe to say that the alignment is very good with a huge preference to handball chain through the middle of...

COLLINGWOOD v HAWTHORN GAME ANALYSIS
Yesterday I isolated some Nick Watson clips and today I deliover the rest of the game. The Pies have seemed to weathered their lack-of-scoring storm, managing 88, 137 (v Blues/Essendon respectively) and then 93 against a stingy Hawthorn outfit. 18 scoring shots for 15.3 from just 34 inside 50’s was a Fly masterclass as they...
NICK WATSON v COLLINGWOOD
I had a close look at the Pies/Hawks game from the weekend and came away with 12 clips, 4 of which were of the Wizard so I’m breaking them up into 2 sperate videos. I’m loving what he’s doing this year and if you’re a small forward at local level you HAVE to be watching...
D1/2/3 v A1/2/3 INTRODUCTORY TRAINING ACTIVITY
During the week I received a message from a local coach helping out at under 15’s interleague level. He was after something to teach D1/2/3 specifically as he has found that not a lot of them are even aware of the concept so he wanted to introduce it to those who hadn’t and to build...
ESSENDON/COLLINGWOOD + BRISBANE/ADELAIDE GAME ANALYSIS
The Bombers went full Essendon in the 2nd half Saturday, giving up 15 goals to 6 against a low-scoring Collingwood outfit after a couple of pretty solid showings but that’s the inconsistentices of a young team for ya. The Pies were always going to be too professional against the Bombers with their elite organisation around...
