Finishing off this round: Lions – the dominance is officially over for Brisbane and Adeliade after being the best teams since the inception of AFLW but be happy it happened. The group needs reinvigorating, will bring in a new coach and then I wonder what alterations they can make to that list to bounce in...

No real earth-shattering results from the weekend and the top 8 teams look set pretty much where my ladder predictor has the Hawks in for Freo but both teams are highly inconsistent so that could go either way and the inequity’s of the draw is probably the most deciding factor. Blues – were far cleaner...

Finishing up round 7. Demons – looked to be the new number 1 but that only lasted 7 days Kangaroos – back in top spot where they belong and are now a whopping 55% ahead of top of the ladder with no genuine contenders ahead Magpies – took away all the time the Giants need...

A bunch of 60/40 games but no real surprises from the results this week except maybe the number that North Melbourne on the Dees as well as what Geelong did Hawthorn. Cats – have the highest offense in the league on 503 total points, 47 in front of 2nd placed Melbourne, are averaging 79pts /game...

Taking a different angle for this post where I’ll focus exclusively on center bounce clearance tactics used by Geelong in their game v Hawthorn and then look at Port Adeliade v Western Bulldogs. Looking at Geelong first they have Georgie Prespakis who is currently the best player in the competition who is their go-to hit...

Wow. Look I picked by the Lions by 1opts and always thought they could go to a level the Dockers couldn’t but at the 4:18min mark of the last quarter, a 17 point lead out of nowhere the Lions completely turned the tide. ‘Oh wait, Wharfie Time happened – an event used for when they...

I ended up with a monstrous 50mins of clips from this round and we have the 2nd half of it today but first a check up on the remaining teams: Dockers – wind-affected games don’t lend themselves to the lowest scoring teams as they really only have 2 quarters to score and if they don’t...

Another round of upsets with the biggest we’ll see for the year in the Hawks beating the Roos they somehow manage to not win the Premiership. Hawks – just kept showing up in the 2nd half, taking time and space away from North to exit contest forcing them into a less then 1:1 kick:mark ratio...

What. A. Game. Probably the best in my lifetime from a spectacle point of view. The Hawks were 99% of the way there…until they weren’t (all correct decisions for mine by the way). The most ridiculous aspect of this game was the momentum swings with both teams both having healthy chunks of the game purely...

Here’s another whiteboard edition which are still streamlined but require a visual to get started, with activities #241 – #250 consisting of a simple image with a diagram and a quick explanation. #241 – PLAY FORWARD #242 – BREAKOUT POSSESSION #243 – 4v4v4 CONTINUOUS WAVES #244 – 3 TEAM RONDO #245 – PROGRESSIVE SMALL SIDED...
