AFLW ROUND 10 GAME ANALYSIS PART 2/3

                               

Today we have part 2 of 3 from round 10 where we look at:

• Carlton forwards too deep to contest aerially
• North Melbourne forwards coming at to meet the ball aerially
• Sydney not getting as many numbers in front of the ball as the defense
• Adelaide not manning the mark and Geelong falling for it
• Geelong defender rolling back to the goal square and not looking for any opposition to pick up in defensive 50
• Bulldogs getting the outnumber and overlap to open space in front of goal

AFLW ROUND 10 GAME ANALYSIS PART 1/3

                             

The final home and away round is done and dusted for the AFLW and I'm sticking with North Melbourne to finally break through for their 1st premiership win by the end of the finals.

This week we have 19 clips over 3 videos which again, is more than usual but that's also more learning so the more the better!

Today's video groups a lot of forward press defense plays from the weekend then the other 2 days are a mash up of the rest.

Today we have:

• Gold Coast not using forward press defense at all
• Gold Coast not using it again but this time it results in a goal
• Carlton trying to use it but has the timing all out of whack for it to be effective
• Gold Coast deciding to use it and dramatically altering the shot on goal because of it
• Geelong also altering the kick on goal from using it
• Geelong knowing it has to happen and finally it does to cause a stoppage on a fast play going inside forward 50

COACHING MODERN FOOTBALL CHAPTER 9: FORWARD PLAY

                                                    

You've got to score to win and after all the good work from your defense and midfield, then it's in the forwards hands to finish off all the good work done up the ground.

In terms of training at local/amateur level there's a fair bit of focus put on zone defenses and stoppage formations but the forward is usually left to its own devices, relying more on the individual talent you have there more than anything else.

Increasing the forward craft of your players is essential in being effective when going inside your forward 50 and a dangerous forward lines puts a heap of pressure on the entire opposition team as they need to stay at home and defend making it hard for them to get overlap and outnumber advantages through the middle of the ground.

If you can finish great passages of play through the defensive and middle 50m areas then it's great team lifter and confidence booster but is highly deflating when it comes back out as quick as it went in.

This follows the previous 8 chapters:

#1 - Forward Press Defense

#2 - Lane Running

#3 - Midfielder Running Patterns

#4 - 666 Connection

#5 - Exploiting the Stand Rule

#6 - Team Formations

#7 - Creating/Utilising Length

#8 - Center Bounce Clearance

It is now available from the register page as a stand alone product which when purchased is then emailed to you in a PDF, meaning you don't have to be a member to gain access.

If you're a local/amateur football coach then you're well aware that apart from your assistant coaches, there is distinct lack of readily available resources form where you can learn about different concepts used in football.

All coaches watch and read about footy and the different tactics and strategies that are used by are left wondering what is it exactly and how can I teach my players to do that?

That exact question is what I set out to answer in this mammoth series.

My plan going forward is to release a different chapter every Monday and Friday for 2 reasons:

1 - I want space the release time of each chapter enough to give you time read, digest and then get a handle on each chapter before the next one comes out to ease the mental load compared to receiving all of these chapters at once and then wondering where do I start? 

and;

2 - I also want to make all, or most, chapters available for all coaches before pre-season for 2025 commences so you can factor these new concepts into your plans for next season.

Make 2025 the season you positively turn your coaching practices upside down and re-energise your passion for teaching, coaching and leading your players.

COACHING MODERN FOOTBALL CHAPTER 8: CENTER BOUNCE CLEARANCE

                                                   

This is the most detailed chapter of the lot at 21 pages, 21 video clips and 24 images looking at many center bounce clearance formations you can use.

To train just choose the formations and movement you prefer, get your midfield together and get after learning them and get the timing of them down.

Center bounce clearance is the most vital part of getting field position because it's the only rime you'll have a 4v4 in a 50x50m space, if only for a few seconds or so.

If you can win out of their more then the opposition then you can start putting the other parts of your game model into the game but if you're not then everything you do is reactive and that's a terrible place to be during games.

This follows the previous 7 chapters:

#1 - Forward Press Defense

#2 - Lane Running

#3 - Midfielder Running Patterns

#4 - 666 Connection

#5 - Exploiting the Stand Rule

#6 - Team Formations

#7 - Creating/Utilising Length

AFLW ROUND 9 GAME ANALYSIS PART 1/2

                                   

1 week of the AFLW season to go and the top 8 is a lot clearer now with what looks like Essendon now getting the 8th spot over my choice, Melbourne. 

I've compiled more videos than normal from this round so we'll have 2 posts consisting of 2 videos each.

Today we look at:

• The best way to get over alp and the outnumber at the same time
• Bannan guessing way too early and giving up a potential outnumber advantage because of it
• Poor GWS marking in their own defensive 50
• Gold Coast staying connected to the play and being too far back to make the kick inside forward 50
• Gold Coast Kick Out tactic they should use far more often
• Subpar Port Adelaide decision making giving up a certain goal going inside forward 50
• West Coast player not having enough adaptability with ball in hand
• Defender v Midfielder - who should man the mark?
• Richmond transition offense off of a kick out

COACHING MODERN FOOTBALL CHAPTER 7: CREATING/UTILISING LENGTH

                                                 

In junior football ranks of football we've got a sort of football epidemic where players are forever running away from the ball carrier once they receive a pass, and quite often far out of reach of how far they can kick.

Coaches then implore with their players to lead up at the ball and then we congest any space around the ball to go short, end up going long and the players default back to getting "over the back".

They are essentially creating length by doing this but have no idea about it, nor what else needs to be in place for this play to continue on to our team's advantage, with 666 Connection being a big factor here in how the players are organised across the field at any given time.

When coached properly, the power of length can greatly boost your territory, how you achieve that territory, overall field position and thus, your offensive in general.

This chapter consists of 6 game clips, 10 game images and 1 training activity to put this into place with your own team. 

For training it's a more a matter of first giving your players the knowledge of the game on creating and utilising length and then designing appropriate training activities that will provide opportunities to practice this.

It follows the previous 6 chapters:

#1 - Forward Press Defense

#2 - Lane Running

#3 - Midfielder Running Patterns

#4 - 666 Connection

#5 - Exploiting the Stand Rule

#6 - Team Formations
