Outside of the Matilda’s earlier this year, I’ve probably watched 5 full games of Soccer in my life,and even that might be a stretch. So even though I’m not the biggest fan, the use of Soccer tactics in AFL has drawn me to watching various tactic clips pretty daily on Twitter and read up a...
3 TEAM TRANSITION TRAINING ACTIVITY
This activity had a bit much going on to video so I’ve had to break it up into 8 images but once it’s set up its pretty simple. It has 3 teams but 2 colors, with the aim being to transition the ball from 1 end to the other. First we set up the playing...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS: FINALLY A TICK LEAD BACK AT THE BALL CARRIER!
On an almost weekly basis, and if it hasn’t been then it could be if I highlighted all of them, we’ve seen forwards running back to goal, calling for the ball from a stationary ball carrier. The problem with this. apart from only having 16 players on the ground and defending with 12 – 14...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – GEELONG v FREMANTLE
As mentioned in the video, Freo are sorely missing Kiara Bowers as she would be personally responsible for 15 – 20 clearances per game on her own with the clearances she does get, and the opposition clearances she stifles through her tackling. It’s no so much the total clearances (they’re -2 over the season by...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – ADE FRONTAL PRESSURE/OVERLAP RUN, GWS POOR POSITIONING, SYDNEY CENTER BOUNCE SET PLAY
Round 7 of AFLW is completed which means it’s another dose of analysis clips from the weekend’s games. In the 3 clips fro today we look at: Adelaide applying frontal defensive pressure and getting the resultant intercept mark because of it. Stevie Lee-Thompson providing great wing support and then overlap run enabling her forwards to...
EXPERT v ACADEMY PLAYER DECISION MAKING
This is a study I just read last night and this morning that took some reading. It uses players from Gaelic Football consisting of 2 groups – senior players and under 17 players – who are both shown game clips which were then paused and then each discussed the options the ball carrier has, what...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS: COLLINGWOOD BALL MOVEMENT, GEELONG WING LENGTH, GOLD COAST GOING INSIDE 50 x 2, FREO TOO FAST
In part 3 of 3 for this week I analyse: Collingwood not being able to recognise they have an outnumber opportunity that could have resulted in a far better kick inside 50 from a far better launching area. Geelong’s winger Bowen not getting length and limiting team connection because of it. Gold Coast Dupuy displaying...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS: MELB LANES, ZANKER BODYWORK, SYD TEAM DEF, BRIS I50, PIES BALL MOVEMENT
For video 2 of 3 for this week I look at: How Melbourne set up at around the ground stoppages to build into their lane running. Excellent body work BEFORE the ball arrives by Eden Zanker in a 1v1 marking contest. Sydney not using the team frontal defense tactic and then unable to stop Port...
AFLW GAME ANALYSIS – WESTERN BULLDOGS WOES x 3, WEST COAST INSIDE 50 IMPROVEMENT
The Dogs started behind the 8-ball and are stuck playing catch up in 2023 with old injuries being replaced by new injuries to key players, so we;ll start with 4 clips of them + 1 from the Eagles today. First up we look at the dogs not taking the free territory in front of them...
COLLINGWOOD 2023 IN-SEASON TRAINING ACTIVITIES PART 2

Even as a Sydney Swans fan, it has a...
