SYDNEY v GWS - THE 4th QUARTER TOP 10!

It's fair to say I was up and about come 6pm Saturday night after another ridiculous, but not out of the ordinary, Swans comeback v the Giants.

GWS totally stifled the Swans for the entire first half, dominating all the major stat categories that win finals - clearance, contested possession and inside 50's - resulting in the leagues highest scoring team (97per game so let's say 49 per half) to 22pts, 6mins to half time.

Enter Isaac Heeney.

He had 8 possessions, 4 contested, 2 clearances and a goal in the term including the final goal after a diving 1 handed mark at the 28min mark.

The score was still ordinary but we, and I mean Isaac, had stolen a good chunk of momentum back from that mark and goal.

In the 3rd quarter it was all Heeney again for Sydney, taking mark of the year and goaling just minutes later, posting 12 possessions, 8 contested, 2 clearances and another goal in that quarter but the margin was still 21pts and for all the good Heeny did, we didn't close the margin by even 1pt!

Enter the 4th quarter, Warner, Gulden, Papley, Florent and Campbell!

AFLW ROUND 3 GAME ANALYSIS - WESTERN BULLDOGS SPECIAL

                               

NOTE: This is not a Bulldogs pile on, they're at where they're at regardless of being an inaugural club or not, and simply highlights game concepts that the better teams are doing that they are not and all can be corrected within THIS season.

Below are 6 clips from Friday night game v Port Adelaide that focus on recent trends/game concepts being used by the better teams this year, being:

• Leading up at the ball carrier
• Forwards not reading the clearance
• Runners going boundary side instead of corridor
• Open players not being able to recognise that they are, nor find/utilise available open space for easy ball movement
• No pressing forward to defend
• Not in optimal crumbing/pressuring positions off high balls

AFLW ROUND 1 GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS

                                              

Let's see if this is sustainable!

After the game analysis from each round my intention is to use some of the actual clips for game/training scenarios and see how our own teams can play them out.

Now you've already got access to what I think should/could have happened but what you'll do is simply set your team up in the formation from the image and tell them what the end result is we're looking for, which I'll provide an idea for.

The black dot-lines indicate the area to cone ff and work within as game have time and space constraints so we want to use them when we;re being ultra specific like this.

Hopefully I can find a lot of different clips to use for these as I'm starting with 4 in round 1 and hopefully that's not all I can find!

IMPORTANT - DO NOT GIVE THE SOLUTION TO YOUR PLAYERS - LET THEM FIND ONE ON THEIR OWN WHICH MIGHT BE THE SAME OR IT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT. YOU CAN GUIDE THEM TOWARDS MY SOLUTION IF YOU LIKE AS IT GIVES YOU SOMETHING TO COACH TO BUT THERE CAN NEVER JUST BE A SINGLE SOLUTION BECAUSE IF THE DEFENSE TAKES THAT AWAY YOU'RE COOKED! WE WANT TO CREATE ADAPTABLE PLAYERS!!

Unless noted, all scenarios are started with the coach kicking the ball to the circled x player.

Here we go.

AFLW ROUND 1 GAME ANALYSIS PART 2/2

In part 2 for AFLW round 1 we actually have 2 videos where video 1 looks at:

• Geelong creating a a lot of space for hit up forward leads while staying connected in front of and behind the ball
• Paxy Paxman playing a pseudo Jordan De Goey corridor role out of contest
• Carlton needing just 1 more handball for much easier kick with more time and space
• North Melbourne developing and utilising the fat side line to get the outnumber

And video 2 looks at:

• Carlton using 1 more handball for a much easier kick with more time and space
• Carlton not going with speed at the right time and only managing an inside 45 rather than an inside 20

AFLW ROUND 1 GAME ANALYSIS PART 1/2

Another season of AFLW is upon us and already there have been a few surprising results with positives from West Coast, St Kilda and North Melbourne to the not-so-positives of Richmond, the Bulldogs and Brisbane.

In part 1/2 for round 1 we have 5 clips looking at:

• Bulldogs losing all concentration during a veeerrry slllooowww play in their defensive 50
• Bulldogs not shifting as the ball moves allowing for zero overlap opportunities
• Essendon kicking out of congestion instead of handballing
• Gold Coast not playing the defender off between 2 open options and then not reaching either of them
• Gold Coast not giving the easy handball for a certain goal
