Today we have 3 quick clips left over from this game where we look at and we’re still working analogue until next week. BRISBANE KICK OUT The Lions ability kick-mark is second to none and it comes from having great kickers on all lines but also perfect timing from players hitting up at the ball...
SYDNEY SLINGSHOT
The Swans shifted their offense a touch on Saturday, attempting to run and handball from defense and through the middle and then kicking inside 50 as opposed to the heavy kick-biased style of current times. I’ve been waiting and hoping for us to introduce more handball into our offense, not just a way to exit...
HAWTHORN v COLLINGWOOD GAME ANALYSIS PART 2/2
After yesterday’s themed game analysis, today we look at the rest of game from Thursday night. COLLINGWOOD INSIDE 50 It hasn’t been super of late but Collingwood’s forward cohesiveness is usually at the top end of the competition and here we’ll look at the 4 colored players from this image in blue, yellow, red and...
HAWTHORN v COLLINGWOOD GAME ANALYSIS PART 1/2
The wife is at her mum’s for the week so I don’t have access to the IPad so this will be old school stylez. The Hawks did a umber on Collingwood in many facets on Thursday night but today we’ll look at their use of the expansions of the MCG. Last season the Hawks used...
20 NEW STREAMLINE TRAINING ACTIVITIES
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...
COLLINGWOOD v BRISBANE GAME ANALYSIS
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...
COACHING MODERN FOOTBALL CHAPTER 5 EXPLOITING THE STAND RULE – SNEAK PEAK
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...
RICHMOND v COLLINGWOOD GAME ANALYSIS
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...
GWS v SYDNEY GAME ANALYSIS
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...
COACHING MODERN FOOTBALL CHAPTER 4 – 666 CONNECTION SNEAK PEAK
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...
