Following your ruck’s cues is crucial, and implementing a ‘kite’ 🪁 formation can help improve your team’s set up. @First__Use

Last year, @freodockers struggled against St Kilda’s man-on-man defence, losing by 61.

Round 8 vs Bulldogs—same tactic, different result.

Today’s analysis breaks down the maturity behind the Dockers’ comeback win. @First__Use

In today’s analysis, I break down how @CollingwoodFC defence held strong despite Hawthorn dominating inside 50s (62–34) and centre clearances (19–5). @First__Use

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Grant Fagan on @First__Use Coaching Coaches.

Loved this motto he lives by.

Full interview available on our YouTube channel — and yes, he’s the brother of Lions head coach Chris.

Coaching Coaches EP11: Jeff sits down with Tasmanian Hall of Fame coach Grant Fagan.

An outstanding conversation. Grant led Clarence to a premiership in 2000, stepped away from coaching, then returned in 2025 — and won it again. @First__Use

Hawthorn’s defensive and offensive work against the Gold Coast SUNS in Round 7 — especially in the second quarter — was outstanding.

Their ability to transition from defence to attack was elite. @First__Use 👇🏼

Coaching Coaches EP10: Anthony Klarica, Brisbane Lions Sports Psychologist.

Outstanding interview. His CV says it all — 11 Grand Finals, 6 Premierships (4 Hawthorn, 2 Brisbane Lions).

Leading the way in this space since 1996. @First__Use

At local level, the opposition’s +1 creates confusion.

Used at stoppage or in general play.

In today’s Local Footy Fix, I show how to counter it. @First__Use

Watch 👇🏼

3 goals down at three-quarter time, @CollingwoodFC came out with a clear, proactive approach to start the final term.

I break down their centre clearances that generated huge momentum. Local coaches, take notes 📝 @First__Use

[Jeff White @JeffWhite34]

I like the way @PAFC are attacking through the corridor.

In dry conditions, they’ll catch a few clubs off guard.

@First__Use analysis 👇🏼

[Jeff White @JeffWhite34]

Zak Butters’ selfless run through the corridor.

Full breakdown of Port Adelaide’s attacking corridor play dropping later today.

Local Footy Fix EP3 @First__Use

Most rucks are now being told to play behind the ball.

The last-touch rule is creating space for them to sit in the hole.

So how do you counter it? I share a few simple tips 👇🏼

Local coaches take note 📝

https://t.co/rfgE5DVfYm

[Jeff White @JeffWhite34]

If @freodockers Dudley doesn’t switch in that one-on-one behind the ball, the winning goal doesn’t happen.

Watch the @First__Use analysis 👇🏼

[Jeff White @JeffWhite34]

Low scoring, tough conditions—execution and decisions matter most.

I break down the late moment that led to @freodockers winner.

Coaches, take note 📝 Dudley 👏🏼👏🏼

In today’s Coaching Coaches, I sit down with Sandringham Zebras head coach Daniel Ward.

Before the VFL, Ward built Old Haileybury from Division 3 to Division 1 over nine years.
