BRISBANE LIONS BALL MOVEMENT 2025/26

Back in December last year I released a 26 page PDF on Brisbane's ball movement for season 2025.

After another year of studying the Lions on their way to a 2nd 3-Peat, it's now grown to a 42 page PDF!

I've broken it down into 6 categories being:

1 - Quick Release Short Kick

2 – Inner and Outer Layers

3 – High Half Forwards

4 – Defensive 50 Possession

5 – Creating Ground Length

6 – Kick Out Strategies

Each category contains a mixture of game clips, whiteboard clips and images to show you exactly what is happening with the just-recently added "New 2026" section added to the bottom of each category that adds to the original PDF from last year.

Brisbane are multiple levels above the rest when it comes to ball movement but that could your team as soon as 2027 but you don't need elite level kickers to do so.

Using Wheelo's Ratings, there are 2 kicking stats that tell the take:

Kick Retention is how likely a kick is to be retained by a teammate where they were 2nd to the Hawks

and;

Kick Threat is how likely a kick is to result in a shot at goal later in the chain where they were 1st by along way

They can then be broken down into expected stats:

Kick Retention Rating which is the measure of how often a player’s kicks are retained by a teammate compared to expectation where they finished 1st again

and;

Kick Threat Rating which is the measure of how often a player’s kicks result in a shot at goal later in the chain compared to expectation where they finished 15th.

This means that they are able to retain possession via easy-short kicks yet gain territory on most of them which adds up over a game when you have 108 marks, and thus, opportunities per game to do this.

And it's all in their positioning as most of the kicks you'll see in this PDF are doable at local level and/or don't require perfection either. 

This is a 1-time payment purchase and will be delivered to your email in a PDF format.
