Without the wife’s IPad (they shipped themselves off to nanny’s for the weekend), I’m analysing games the old school way but nothing if not adaptable. This focuses on last nights game between the Cats and the Hawks, especially the Hawks a few things they do in the defensive and forward halves. KICK OUT TACTIC Most...

I won’t have the wife’s IPad until Monday night so good luck to me keeping up with this + the men’s Grand Final Saturday (which I’m going to!) but we’ll keep rolling as we look at Richmond/Port Adelaide and Carlton/North Melbourne over 2 video below, specifically: Port not using their free player to create handball...

Just 3 more clips from 3 games to finish off round 2 for this week where we look at: Brisbane layered lane running off of half back Collingwood giving ZERO options for ball movement out of the opposition goal square Richmond front half team defense...
