A new edition of this covering training activities #152 – #171 and as usual there’s only a quick explanation, no diagrams or images. #152 – 3 x 3v2 1 big playing area divided into 3 squares with a 3v2 offensive advantage in each square with all players locked. Goals at each end for each team...
I did pick the Lions to beat the Pies Saturday night after the debacle they put out the week before + the Pies are in that so-far-ahead-were-gonna-lose-a-few phase of the season. Before this weekend I had a Collingwood/Brisbane Grand Final but now my predictor says Adelaide finish top and Brisbane 2nd so someone’s gonna have...
The “stand” rule has been in for a few years now and it has made a huge difference to how teams can transition from end to end which I believe has been a huge positive for the game. Some teams use it more than others in the AFL but that’s probably because of their specific...
In today’s game analysis we look at some structure/formation vision. Teams of lesser talent need to put more importance on organisation as at least your players can be in better positions and better decisions are made from better positions. It also keeps the ball where you have players positioned so you can always at least...
A tale of 2 halves this bad boy with the result taking my Swans from a mathematical chance to a “mathematical chance” now. With a pressure rating of over 200 in the first half and then to finish at 175 for the entire game means we must have went at 150 tops for the 2nd...
In my opinion, the biggest thing missing from local/amateur football is what I call 666 Connection which refers to all players and all lines staying connected, without any major gaps of space between them. Defensively, these gaps in connection simply provide more leading space options for forwards and thus more area to cover when you’re...
TBF’s greatly assist in all players being able to carry in-game tasks in a highly cohesive manner. In local/community footy the continuum from your best to worst player in any given round is vast regardless of the 23 named for that day. Some players have high game intelligence but lesser action capabilities, some are the...
Freo may have finally moved into some sort of contention after their win against the Pies at the G on the weekend, although it’ll be a near impossible task to win from outside the top 4 this year as home advantage is probably going to reign supreme come finals time. That being said they are...
This game didn’t hit any great heights except for the Rolls Royce performance of Isaac Heeney. Compiling 34 possessions with 16 contested, 13 clearances, 8 marks, 5 tackles and kicking 5 goals on top of that is surely performance of the year material and will take some game to top it. Hence this game analysis...
We all know that the quickest way to goal is through the corridor so it stands to reason that Your ball movement and/or player positioning, needs to be developed in accordance to that, and Collingwood do it better than anyone. They are willing, and literally coached, to go corridor from anywhere on the ground at...
