In my opinion the biggest gap in local/amateur football by far is the ability to create, identify and utilise outnumber advantages. We’re not trained to identify/utilise them so of course we don’t so this in obviously a coaching issue, not a player issue. Shameless plug alert – I have a entire 20 page chapter on...
Score source stats from the 2024 AFL season showed that Port Adelaide averaged the highest point total average in the league at 6.3pts/game and they also reached the highest single game total of 26 points. For added context, the 5th placed team,the Western Bulldogs averaged 5.5pts/game and Sydney 13th at 3.3. So as far as...
In this post we have 3 game/training scenario’s from rounds 2 and 3 of AFLW. GAME/TRAINING SCENARIO #1 – LANE RUNNING Lane running is a by-product of 666 Connection which serves to connect the team across a large area of the ground while in possession during moderate to fast play. It provides the ball carrier...
Let’s see if this is sustainable! After the game analysis from each round my intention is to use some of the actual clips for game/training scenarios and see how our own teams can play them out. Now you’ve already got access to what I think should/could have happened but what you’ll do is simply set...
This is a scenario that presented itself from the AFLW Grand Final this past weekend and has multiple game fundamentals involved in it, and when I say fundamentals I don’t mean kick, mark and handballing, but actual fundamentals of team invasion sports such as space, timing and team cohesiveness. There’s more than 1 way to...
This a scenario that plays out every single game at some point in AFLW, mainly because of there only being 16 players and a lot of transition, offensively and defensively, is simply running towards or back to goal to fill the space. It’ll start with defenders being closer to the opposite goal usually getting back...
First one of these for a while! This game/training scenario looks at midfield and forward connection in fast play and came from the Western Bulldogs/Hawthorn AFLW game from round 2. PREVIOUS GAME MOMENT – Contested situation at our center half back GAME MOMENT – Ball kicked out of contest and marked in the center of...
Still loving what Collingwood are doing, even after yesterday’s loss so here’s some short clips from yesterday looking at some of their stable tactics they’ve used in the past season and a half. We’ll quickly look at manufacturing corridor, coming forward defense and fast play kick out. The beauty of them is they simply work...
I’ve analysed Collingwood kick outs before but this is the best vision of it in full that I’ve seen this year. Regardless of who kicks out, and it mostly rotates through Darcy Moore, Nick Daicos and John Noble, the main strategies used are: To load up on 1 side Wait for the numbers to get...
If you’re a coach, or simply a football lover, then First Crack on Fox Footy is a must-watch. This past week Kingy showed footage of the Collingwood “line” that is formed on fast play through the middle of the round which I suspect you’ve noticed during their games in some shape or form. I noticed...
