We had a couple of cracker Prelim finals on the weekend with what I think are the 2 best teams left to play in the Grand Final. The Hawks got off to an absolute flyer and had pretty much everything on their terms until ironically, Tom Stewart went down and then it all started to...

Earlier this week this clip was part of the game analysis from this week: In the game analysis video I said I’d revisit this and the decision making process around it so first, the clip unedited: Let’as break this down action-by-action. ACTION #1 – GIVING THE INITIAL HANDBALL The player we’ll focus on is Georgia...

This week we looked at clips covering: Kick Out Strategies Creating/Utilising Length Center Bounce Clearance...

Here’s part 2 for AFLW Round 5 Game Analysis. POOR ESSENDON FORWARD CRAFT NO RICHMOND HANDOVER MISSED ADELAIDE HANDBALL BRISBANE GIVING NORTH MELBOURNE OVERLAP BRISBANE HIGH HALF FORWARDS...

The 2026 AFLW season has had a temporary surge of life with 6 of 9 games resulting in upset wins. With only 12 games, a single 8 point swing can be huge and with West Coast/Essendon losing as teams placed 7th and 8th, it has really opened things up for Bris/Gee/PA/St Kilda to scrape into...

North are North. The Pies on the otherhand have been a lot more competitive this season but still lack anything more than average ball movement fluency and scoring power but are blooding young talent so they know where they’re at and that’s a positive in itself. The Eagles continue their solid form, beating 2 teams...

The Hawks won once again but still haven’t produced the offense they did last year but with territory demons like Fleming and Gilroy to still play in 2026, they’ll be right there when the whips are cracking. The Saints have been a disappointment so far this season with established players and all parts of the...

I’ve had too much faith in GWS’s ball movement which was adequate last year in being able to transition from defensive 50 to forward 50, albeit not being great at converting that transition into scoring and after picking them to beat Collingwood and Gold Coast, I’m off them from now on! I thought the out...

The Hawks are mirroring their men’s team for 2025, winning but not convincing anyone and the Dogs are having a crack and making the ground small so teams can’t break them on the outside (4th for contested possessions), hence the 10-14 scoreline from this one. Freo have pulled extraordinary by allowing 100pts 2 weeks in...

The Eagles are overflowing with young talent and with Daisy Pearce at the helm, they aren’t that far away with Ella Roberts quickly rising into a top 5 player in the league. The Saints are inconsistent like always by doubling Adelaide’s score for a win in round 1, having their own score 5’ed (that’s a...
