I haven’t posted a study for a while but I’m still reading them all the time and this one looks at how soccer teams use the ground space at various times of the game and how it then contributes their success. Studies usually analyse teams’ convex hull which gives the measure for the overall spread...

There’s not too much left to say really but I did attend 5 or 6 North Melbourne AFLW training sessions so I do have a small database of the training activities they use so I might package it all up at some point but I have been using their warm up with my senior women’s...

Season 10 is done and dusted and it was a whitewash really with the dominance of North Melbourne. The Roos went 12-0 with a % of 321.5 in the regular season and then backed that up in the finals going 3-0 with a % of 262. Dare we add that they were missing 2 of...

Before the commencement of the 2o25 AFL season, a bunch of Twitter football stats accounts posted reviews of each team based-on the season previous which I did link to in this particular post back in February. After the shit show that was AFL-media in 2025 and the just-passed trade period, if it’s real game analysis...

The 2 best teams have made the AFLW Grand Final and the 3rd meeting of these 3 in the GF in a row! Melbourne gave North plenty to think about in their game, with the fast start actually producing some slight kinks in the Roos armour – most notably being a bit shaky when faced...

As I start off in the video, I tipped the Blues to win but not quite like that but the Hawks almost seemed like a bottom 8 team just waiting for the season to end except they won 12 games and were in a preliminary final. The Blues on the other hand are manufacturing momentum...

This was probably a top 5 all-time game in AFLW history. The Adelaide 2nd quarter was immense and was only topped by the leader of forward craft in AFLW – Kate Hore. I have to mention Tahlia Gillard who has been a mainstay top defender in the last few years but this year has gone...

Again no major upsets here with the Lions and Crows both getting up to advance. Brisbane’s back line stood up keeping the trio of Hore, Harris and Zanker to just 2 goals although the loss of Zanker really let them get the ascendancy there. The Dees have always been a midfielder short after Purcell went...

It’s fair to say there wasn’t any real surprises at the results from the weekend except for maybe how teams won. North weren’t at their best but the Hawks were playing VERY defensive and thus scored a measly 3 behinds and will take a huge turnaround for them to not go out in straight sets...
