After THAT Nick Daicos goal from the weekend, highlighted in the game analysis earlier this week, here’s a training activity that focuses on players getting ti multiple contests and staying in the play continuously. You would have heard me say in many of the game analysis videos that the player who just disposes of the...
As impressed with the title of this post, I was even more impressed by the next-to-last play of the Gold Coast/Collingwood game and in particular, Matt Rowell. Don’t let his eating habits distract you, the kid is a beast! As great as Daicos was just minutes earlier, having 3 possessions in a center bounce clearance...
Today we finish off analysing the Suns/Pies game where we look at: Maynard instantly looking to go corridor from right on the boundary line The extreme pressure from the Gold Coast midfield, giving the Pies a taste of their own surge mentality Collingwood kick out going on the attack without hesitation Pendlebury’s transitioning from defense...
Nothing to take from the Sydney/Freo game this week as the Dockers took pretty much everything away from the Swans over the weekend and apart from some individual brilliance from McLean and Blakey, we don’t have the chance to steal that at the end like we did. Instead I have some clips from Brisbane/Melbourne, with...

The mighty Swans were finally able to win a 1st quarter, albeit 16 – 13, just prior to a 10 – 0 goal run in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. The score runs that Sydney have been going on of late are pretty frightening really, meaning no lead is safe against us but you also...
Continuing on from yesterday, the 2nd half of this game analysis shows the altered center bounce formation used by Collingwood, strongly dictated by score. It also shows more examples of Collingwood playing with reckless abandon but it’s all planned to go to certain area’s of the ground and they simply set up their players to...
This game absolutely had it all! The fast start to the huge underdog. The seemingly game-winning lead half way through the 3rd quarter. The question of will the Pies comeback happen yet again but when will it start? The comeback in question happening right in front of us. The Pies hitting the front. The Roos...
Part 2 today takes a quick look at: Ball Up Formation Kick Out Tactic Used Often in the Past Half Back Coming into Center Bounces Designated Hit Up Forward Boundary Throw In Formation Defensive/Fat Side Wing Papley Stoppage Goal...
