The game video shows the 1 specific way the Bulldogs exited their defensive 50 via their kick out but as I state in the training video, that is just 1 of many options that this set up will present to the offensive team and it’s all about taking what the defense gives you and taking...

GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – SWITCHING TO SPACE v PLAYER
When switching the play, especially in open play, you don’t always have the time and space to perfectly process, calculate and execute the perfect kick to a teammate and if you do indeed try to in these situations, it can quite often result in a turnover when there is a much simpler way to execute...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – USING NUMBER ADVANTAGES
This scenario specifically deals with a number advantage for your team, as well as a decent amount of space of which to work in, which should make that advantage even greater if utilised. This is a very simple scenario to set up and you can extend this as is shown in the video to forwards...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – DEFENDING WITH NUMBERS
As I’ve mentioned previous times before, and what you may have noticed yourself, is that at local footy teams will defend with more players than they attack with most of the time,meaning they’ll have extra’s behind ball before they have extra’s in front of the ball. This is great for reducing the opposition from scoring...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – TEASING DISTANCE
This scenario is taken from an actual game but is really a multi-part play consisting of: 1 – Defensive Transition Positioning to Create Enticing Teasing Distance 2 – Offensive Transition Positioning to Create Enticing Pass Option + Engage Multiple Defenders Around You This will present itself in a game at various times but it’s also...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – PLAYING TOO FAST WHEN NOT DEEP ENOUGH
This game/training scenario piggy backs off off from yesterdays lengthening the ground scenario bit in the maybe the most important spot on the ground to get right. The kick inside forward 50 is the most critical kick in football but that can be set up by what you do with the ball and your players...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – LENGTHENING THE GROUND
In 2022 footy is played completely different how it used to be played in 80’s and 90’s when I was a kid. The disappointing this is that it’s still often coached that way and nuances of the game that were evident back then have faded out of the game as new ball/player movement tactics have...
GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – MOVE THE OPPOSITION TO MOVE THE BALL
This game scenario doesn’t really play out as such in the game video but it started to before the siren went and halted play. Regardless, just the 1 kick-mark option alone had the huge potential to set off dominoes, a basketball term, where once you draw 1 defender, you can use the initial outnumber to...
SMALL SIDED GAMES AND HOW ALL COACHES SHOULD BE DOING THEM 6/6 – FORWARD PRESS GAME
Once you get your head around implementing small sided games for most of your training time then it’s time to think about how you can build them around specific aspects of your game model. Like cone to cone skill drills, which doesn’t train skill, it trains technique, we tend to train team tactics, strategies and...
