On an almost weekly basis, and if it hasn’t been then it could be if I highlighted all of them, we’ve seen forwards running back to goal, calling for the ball from a stationary ball carrier. The problem with this. apart from only having 16 players on the ground and defending with 12 – 14...

AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – GEELONG v FREMANTLE
As mentioned in the video, Freo are sorely missing Kiara Bowers as she would be personally responsible for 15 – 20 clearances per game on her own with the clearances she does get, and the opposition clearances she stifles through her tackling. It’s no so much the total clearances (they’re -2 over the season by...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – ADE FRONTAL PRESSURE/OVERLAP RUN, GWS POOR POSITIONING, SYDNEY CENTER BOUNCE SET PLAY
Round 7 of AFLW is completed which means it’s another dose of analysis clips from the weekend’s games. In the 3 clips fro today we look at: Adelaide applying frontal defensive pressure and getting the resultant intercept mark because of it. Stevie Lee-Thompson providing great wing support and then overlap run enabling her forwards to...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS: COLLINGWOOD BALL MOVEMENT, GEELONG WING LENGTH, GOLD COAST GOING INSIDE 50 x 2, FREO TOO FAST
In part 3 of 3 for this week I analyse: Collingwood not being able to recognise they have an outnumber opportunity that could have resulted in a far better kick inside 50 from a far better launching area. Geelong’s winger Bowen not getting length and limiting team connection because of it. Gold Coast Dupuy displaying...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS: MELB LANES, ZANKER BODYWORK, SYD TEAM DEF, BRIS I50, PIES BALL MOVEMENT
For video 2 of 3 for this week I look at: How Melbourne set up at around the ground stoppages to build into their lane running. Excellent body work BEFORE the ball arrives by Eden Zanker in a 1v1 marking contest. Sydney not using the team frontal defense tactic and then unable to stop Port...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – WESTERN BULLDOGS WOES x 3, WEST COAST INSIDE 50 IMPROVEMENT
The Dogs started behind the 8-ball and are stuck playing catch up in 2023 with old injuries being replaced by new injuries to key players, so we;ll start with 4 clips of them + 1 from the Eagles today. First up we look at the dogs not taking the free territory in front of them...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS: POOR PA WORK RATE, POOR PIES CONNECTION, GWS MISSED OPPORTUNITY ON DEFENSE, POOR GWS I50
In the last of the 3 analyst posts for round 5 we’ll look at the final 4 clips. Port Adelaide not being able to get in front of the ball on defense while letting West Coast run forward of them inside 50 and score. Once again we see poor forward craft/connection, this time from Collingwood...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS: MOODY BETTER FWD CRAFT, SHORT v LONG OPTION, POOR WEST COAST CONNECTION
Carlton have made a big shift in 2023 moving All-Australian Ruck Bre Moody to a permanent forward position. In some previous videos over the last few seasons I have done some clips on her leading patterns when resting as a forward and how they needed some work if her craft was to catch up to...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS: TRANSITION OFF, NOT FINDING THE +1 ADV, FWDS TOO DEEP, POOR I50
We’re already half through this AFLW season which is ridiculous! Today we have 5 clips from 1 of 3 posts this week and we’ll be looking at: Collingwood poor connection going inside 50 Melbourne transition offense on fast play Geelong not searching well enough for the outnumber advantage and kicking long to contest Richmond coming...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS: WEST COAST NEEDS WORK, GREAT CONNECTION, PIES JUST OFF, DOGS KICK OUT
In the last video of round 4 (Thursday game tomorrow- finally!) we have 7 clips looking at: West Coast in all sorts from poor rebounding from defensive 50, to a potentially better strategy to moving the ball through the mid 50, to giving up control of the ball in your forward half Great Freo midfield/forward...
