AFLW CONDENSED FIXTURE GAME ANALYSIS PART 8

The condensed fixture is finally over and let's not do this again please.

The last weekend brought 3 videos worth of clips and today brings 5 clips in 8mins looking at:

• Port Adelaide forward press defense
• Port Adelaide using a specific technical tactic that every AFLW player should be taught to use
• Bulldogs all getting past the ball before the ball has even made the aerial contest
• Bulldogs not using the 100% short option and going longer to a 2v4 number disadvantage instead
• Bulldogs not working the ball forward by hand or run and kicking shallow to free Essendon defenders in their own forward 50
• Bulldogs not looking short corridor and going lateral wide instead

COACHING MODERN FOOTBALL CHAPTER 3: MIDFIELDER RUNNING PATTERNS

                                           

Last week I launched my biggest ever project titled "Coaching Modern Football - Coaching Concepts That Matter in Today's Football".

I managed to release the first 2 chapters being "Forward Press Defense"and "Lane Running" last week with another 2 coming this week.

Today is Chapter 3 - Midfielder Running Patterns.

In it you'll be shown some new running patterns being used a lot by Collingwood in games and in different phases of the game.

I will also provide some training tips and activities for teaching this to your own players.

This chapter has 3 game clips showing this in real games + 1 training activity video, along with 7 images that details specific aspects of this concept.

It is now available from the register page as a stand alone product purchased 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 (as per this week) 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 2: LANE RUNNING

                                                   

Earlier this week I launched my biggest ever project titled "Coaching Modern Football - Coaching Concepts That Matter in Today's Football" and chapter 1 was all about forward press defense.

Today I release Chapter 2 - Lane Running.

In it you'll learn what it looks like in games during different stages of play, and more importantly, how it is developed in the heat of games which then gives you a framework of what activities you should be using for this during training.

This chapter has 5 game clips showing this in real games, along with 5 images that details specific aspects of this concept.

AFLW CONDENSED FIXTURE GAME ANALYSIS - GOLD COAST v ESSENDON

                                

I haven't done a single game focus for a while and even though I don't intend on actually doing them like I used to, some games just present more things to highlight then others and in this case the Gold Coast Suns caught my attention.

Along with a few other teams, the Suns have been one of the bigger disappointments this season for various reasons in that they've turned over a good 3rd of their team from last season, lost Whitford who was the most improved player in the league last season by a huge margin and they just don't have the depth to cover those sorts of outs.

On top of that they still don't really have a recognisable game style even in their 6th year in the comp, apart from "Rowbotton get the clearance" which to be fair is pretty good starting point?

Essendon came in just 3 years ago but are actually stacked with seasoned talent from other teams and are actually a very experienced team and the difference between the 2 teams was clearly evident over the weekend, especially in regards to work-rate which also ties in game intelligence ore than everyone thinks - Gold Coasts's GPS readings wre probably higher, as happens to most losing teams, but they're running to the wrong spots, their positioning to start with is poor, or both.

In these 5 clips I take a look at:

• Excellent Essendon game intelligence
• Gold Coast defender not being aggressive enough
• Suns with poor inside 50 numbers of a inside forward 50 ball up
• Gold Coast with poor numbers again in general play
• Suns not looking to go off the line an attack on offense

AFLW CONDENSED FIXTURE GAME ANALYSIS PART 6

                             

I've no idea where this ends but we're up to part 6 of the AFLW condensed fixture game analysis series and I'm proud of myself for keeping up with this!

Today we have 6 clips in 8mins, including 2 structural breakdowns ending in goals in games decided by less than a kick while also looking at:

• Hawthorn kick out tactic stolen from their men's program
• Sydney defenders commit too high and have zero impact
• GWS with off the line options they refuse to even look at
• GWS not using their numbers out of stoppage
• GWS not being patient enough to utilise their DNA - a handball receive
• Saints wing structure breakdown
