2024 AFL GRAND FINAL 1st MINUTE GAME ANALYSIS

 If you're as listener of SEN then you might have come across this interview (Garry and Tim from Tuesday 11th of Feb from the 64min mark) with new Sydney Swans head coach Dean Cox during the week - my ears immediately pricked up being a Sydney supporter.

During the interview he was asked if, when and how they reviewed the game and he went into pretty good detail about it saying:

  • The very first day all players were back they did no training at all and did a very hard analysis of the game
  • The first minute of the game took a whopping 60mins to break down
  • The entire game took 7 and half hours to get through!

Talk about comprehensive - and it should have been!

Off the back of that I've done my own first minute analysis and getting extra picky about it too, where I normally keep to teachable moments around structure and game moments for coaches to implement  in their own repertoires,but for this I'll get ultra picky.

My analysis went for only 8mins so imagine what the players and coaches saw from the behind the goals vision.

In order these are the points I highlighted in the video below:

1 - Lost the clearance.

2 - 3 Swans at the ball v 1 Brisbane.

3 - 4 Brisbane on the outside.

4 - Sydney lose the 3v1.

5 - From the outnumber we has ad lost we are now down 2 - 3 players temporarily and puts us in a scatter defensively.

6 - Sydney intercept mark didn't take up the 100% option off the line.

7 - Opts for a kick down the corridor instead.

8 - The intended Sydney target is an free, nor has separation from his opponent.

9 - Brisbane take an intercept mark at center half back smack bang on the midline of the ground.

10 - Sydney forwards perhaps not anticipating such a shallow forward entry are caught behind the Brisbane ball carrier where they would normally be in position to push up and create the first line of defense in front of the kicker.

11 - Sydney also fail to cover the short 45 kick - a Brisbane ball movement staple and therefor should have almost been number 1 on the scouting report.

12 - Brisbane end up with 2 players next to each other for the 45 kick they take and make.

13 - Sydney going away from their defensive profile of not pushing up to delay Brisbane's ball movement, instead getting caught in the middle and unable to impact the intended contest or the player they have just left free.

14 - Brisbane find a 2v1 along the boundary that stretches the Sydney defense whop have compacted inside the corridor and they utilise the wide options to stretch the Sydney defense, unlike what Sydney just tried to do and finds space that was not really there.

15 - Rampe comes from so fcar back to impact the contest, and doesn't that he can't get back once Brisbane get the run on towards goal.

16 - Gulden attempts a 1-2 with Warner but Warner doesn't scan to see if there is space and time for the handball receive for an easier kick, and Gulden recieves running to his right side, not his dominant left side.

17 - After giving up control of the ball with a kick from a mark in the corridoe, Sydney end up with a 3m dribble kick under pressure from 2 Brisbane players.

18 - Sydney gets first hands to the ground ball but also gives that up as it leaks out of the contest

19 - Brisbane once again have a 3v1 outside the contest and take the ball away under zero pressure

20 - Sydney caught in too close at the ball again.

21- Sydney create a 3v1 advantage with Brisbane in possession but fail to create the intercept, tackle or turnover. 

22 - Brisbane use those extra numbers from the ground ball 5secs earlier to get a kick towards their goal.

23 - The receiver of that kick spread off that same ground ball contest that leaked out to mark.

24 - Brisbane have a line of 5 players directly inline with the player who just marked the ball, all surging forward.

25 - What we can't see is the Brisbane forwards lengthening the ground and tracking back towards goal.

26 - From another camera angle we would see the Brisbane forwards all within 20m of goal, the Brisbane mids streaming through the center of the ground as we do on the video and then the Sydney defenders again caught in the middle.

27 - Sydney defenders track back in the hope that their mids can somehow catch up to the Brisbane mids.

28 - They cannot.

29 - The Sydney defenders are too busy trying to organise each other and lose all sense of where the ball, opposition and space is in the Brisbane forward 50.

30 - Brisbane take a hit up mark in a circle of 4 - 5 Sydney players, 25m directly out from goal.

Time on the clock - 18:53mins.

As I finish off the video with - it was hard being there!
