Aussie Rules Training

Adelaide really put it to the Swans for 90% of the first half over the weekend, but with Sydney’s ridiculous 2nd halves this year (averaging 167%!!), the 4 point margin never looked enough to me. I took 15 different clips from this game with a lot of them focusing on the Swans staying connected through...

Had the week my playing and coaching footy this past weekend so I was able to watch more games a lot more closely then normal. On footy weeks I make sure to catch Sydney and Collingwood games live or on replay then if something else looks interesting to me then I’ll give that a look...

There were some very interesting pieces of vision from this game despite Melbourne barley giving a wimper and made way worse by the Petracca injury. As has been the theme the last little while, I’m still keeping a very keen eye on Collingwood center bounce clearances where this week they again used the same tactic...

The might Swans are absolutely flying and I’m here for all of it after witnessing the 2022 Grand Final in person! In the 6 clips from this game we look at: The Sydney wing, Gulden, getting depth and width for shot on goal 2 clips showing the Swans pressing up extremely hard towards the ball...

Here are my notes and some diagrams to help you set this up yourself. Small sided same (6v5) v traditional training (cone/no opposition) SSG used varied...

The Bulldogs are in super-form, and after they were in a great position beat ladder leaders Sydney until injuries set in, they were able to get the job done against the Pies, albeit also heavily injured themselves. Collingwood started off like a house on fire with Nick Daicos ripping the Dogs midfield a new one...

We’ve been keeping an eye on Collingwood’s center bounce clearances the past couple of weeks, in particularly how they attempt to drag the opposition’s sweeper out of position and create a huge exit point, directly forward out of the contest. I tracked all 23 center bounces clearances and found Collingwood held their sweeper in 13...

7 clips from the Sydney/Bulldogs game from Thursday night where the dogs severely underscored according to expected score + lost Ed Richards just after half time, who was best on at that stage of the match but those are the breaks I guess. In this near 13min video we take a look at: Sydney getting...
