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...
COLLINGWOOD v FREMANTLE GAME ANALYSIS
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...
SYDNEY v NORTH MELBOURNE GAME ANALYSIS
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...
COACHING MODERN FOOTBALL CHAPTER 3 – MIDFIELDER RUNNING PATTERNS SNEAK PEAK
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...

GOLD COAST v COLLINGWOOD GAME ANALYSIS
This was a banger of a contest where we saw the best of both sides with Gold Coast’s first half dominance then the to-be-expected comeback from the Pies in the second half of the game. What we probably didn’t expect, and hadn’t seen yet, was the Suns’ ability to go again very late in the...
COACHING MODERN FOOTBALL CHAPTER 2 – LANE RUNNING SNEAK PEAK
I first noticed full-team lane running by the Sydney Swans back in 2021 when our offense first starting exploding but there’s still only them and Collingwood who use it regularly and it is a staple of launching from half back for both teams. In the women’s game, Melbourne and North Melbourne have jumped on board...
WOMEN’S FOOTBALL TRAINING ACTIVITIES PART 7
As promised, here’s the rest of the training activities I’ve used with my senior women’s football team so far this year and to back up on previous posts, you want just enough variety to still provide enough repetition at the activities that best replicate what you want to see in games which builds adaptability. If...
SYDNEY v FREMANTLE GAME ANALYSIS
Are the Swans back or are the Dockers disappointing once again? At the moment it’s a bit of both yet but Sydney need to win every game form now on + have other teams lose to the right teams to make the 8 and Freo don’t need to look any further then this weekends game...
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CARLTON AND COLINGWOOD
If you gave yesterday’s Carlton/Collingwood’s game analysis a watch then you’ll be all over this as I explained a lot of this during that video but I feel this could help all coaches so I thought I’d isolate these 2 clips specifically to help as many of you as I can. Simply going on the...
