First training activity for 2024 and it’s a genuine banger called Play Your Position. Even at local level footy is position-less for the most part with teams from all levels using zone defenses against kick outs and high defensive presses when the ball is in their own forward 50. This game is a great way...
With 189 clips from 73 out of 99 games in season 8 of AFLW, here’s what I saw from an absolute belter of Grand Final. I don’t care what way you look at it, the better team always wins regardless of how many quarters they won on the scoreboard or whatever. Brisbane’s best (half of...
This training activity uses a delayed start meaning it will be a slow to medium paced play at most, and then encourages players to build up with precision at they can only score once they get into the scoring zone. There’s plenty of ways to utilise this so here’s the basic set up and then...
2 absolute cracker prelim finals over the weekend with a combined winning margin of a measly 5pts! We could very easily be looking at an Adelaide/Geelong GF but that’s how close the top end of AFLW is, even if the drop off from about 5th down is a quite dramatic but in the end the...
We continue on from the Crows total demolition of my up-and-coming Swans then move to the Melbourne/Geelong game. The Cats, list-wise, underperformed a touch in the home-and-away season, losing to Essendon and Collingwood and only beating 1 team in the 8 (Sydney) coupled with mostly unconvincing wins against lesser opponents. Forever it’s been the big...
After a late season charge, the Swans run out of juice Saturday night and like we always knew, showed the gaping hole between the top 4 (now the top 5!) and the rest of the AFLW. While still in only our 2nd season in existence, the loss of our ruck and main forward target hurts...
I did one of these a while back which are training activities I have in my files simply sitting there as I accumulate them quicker than I post them so here’s another 10 you can use on day 1 of pre-season! ROV OFF COACHES BAG 3 groups at each end with the middle player starting...
The writing was a bit on the wall for the Bombers after losing to a Gold Coast without their best player last week and they just lost form at the wrong time of the season. They’re still a a couple of players on every line away from really competing at the top end of the...
Gold Coast were in hot form going into this one on their home deck with a definitive win against finalist Essendon without their best player in the last round of the season to clinch a finals berth themselves. They still had Whitford, Drennan and Single in the midfield, ruck dominance as the Swans have gone...
Brisbane are a bloody well-oiled unit and now they’ve shown a form of resilience and grit that they’ve never really had to before, after losing to the Saints in Melbourne and then beating the Demons comfortably in the last round of the season, to beating ladder leaders Adelaide on their home deck in the first...
