In part 2 of 2 for round 7 we get our 2nd tick lead of the season on a fast play going inside 50, this time directly resulting in a goal to GWS. Doyle runs to goal to generate length and get Peterson’s back to the ball which is really the main goal of running...
Last week I posted a video from Soccer showing how they drew their defenders forward and away from defending their goal, eventually creating space between the player compactness and the goal, and this being able to play through the opposition and into the space for an easy score. I talked about how this same principle...
I’ve been banging on about the inadequacy of cone drills for years now but they still seem to be in fashion at all levels of football but if this doesn’t change your mind on them then I don’t know where to go from here! I’ve also just finished up reading a solid read, being How...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
