Aussie Rules Training

In part 2 today we look at: Sydney coming forward to defend to regain possession Saints out-working the Swans during transition offense Sydney feeling the St Kilda pressure and going against what they normally do Sydney setting up with multiple lines in front of the ball...

My Swannies have trailed off in recent weeks but never fear, this is the worst time of the season for a team clear on top with plenty of games to go but not wanting to try and maintain finals-winning form the entire time so I think we’ll be OK, especially with Parker and Mills to...

Well the Pies look close to cooked for season 2024 with new injuries on a weekly basis and my predicted ladder (which is changing almost every game at the moment) has them in 10th and missing finals. It’s looked like they’ve just been off the pace for most of the season and Fly has this...

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...

Instead I have some clips from Brisbane/Melbourne, with...

Principles of team sports transcends multiple sports and is why coaches look at other sports to see how they apply them and how they could do the same to their benefit. Newly-crowned NBA Champs the Boston Celtics’ head coach Joe Mazzulla met with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola just before the NBA Finals who Mazzulla...

In part 2 of this game analysis we look at: Sydney’s high 6/6/6 press resulting in a goal from a Swans defender from just inside our own forward 50 Sydney’s full ground running power that creates 3 concurrent plays of overlap play resulting in a goal from 20m out 2 coming forward to defend plays...

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...
