Has anyone been watching Jeff Whites match analysis? His insight of the game is on another level

    • Demonland changed the title to Jeff White - Analysis

    Why oh why don’t we get this during breaks and post match during AFL broadcasts. Maybe someone should set up a YouTube channel that does this during the breaks in play. Do they seriously think no one is interested in actual analysis?

    I did not know he did this. What a brilliant analysis. Best analysis of play-by-play football I have seen anywhere. How come I am only learning of this now?

    What is the breadth of his analysis? Does he analyze 1 game a week, only Dees games, all games? Can someone clarify?

    Great stuff from Jeff, well thought out footy content such as this is a breath of fresh air.

    It is great analysis - particularly for those that are interested in this stuff but have an untrained eye. Having someone step through each play to explain whats being coached and seeing it unfoled is terrific. I don't however think the average punter is into this level of analysis and hence why the mainstream shows are unlikely to delve into it.

    But personally loved it.

    I totally disagree about the average punter not being interested in that level of analysis. It's totally standard in say the coverage of NFL, NBA and test match cricket.

    Mainstream shows don't show it because they are lazy and hopeless and treat fans like [censored]. Does my head in

    I posted this in another thread, but makes more sense here:

    It's so great.

    I said on the pod that I thought our defensive structure was really good, particularly in the last quarter.

    But that was really almost a feeling based on the limited vision you can see watching on TV and the evident fact that we made it difficult for them to chain up those short 30-40 metre kicks the lions love to use to transition the ball.

    It was awesome to see that defensive structure and sytem demonstrated so clearly (with pretty basic tools - just shows it doesn't have to be super high tech to be effective).

    It was also terrific to get an insight into how zone defences are evolving and the concept of depth perceptio.

    The vision of our players lining up on the diagonal to block the oppo kick from the pocket was fascinating, as was how much direction and talk we do to maintain structures.

    Also loved the fritter pump up and the vision of fritter and koz working super hard on transition in the play that ended up with koz spotting up Friitter for a shot from 45 metres.

    Oh, and also loved the set play vision at the end with White highlighting how pumped tracc and maxy were when it came off.

    Ditto:

    Just watched it - absolutely brilliant. Love it

    I haven't watched any of his videos before - I'll watch them all now.

    I learnt more in those 27 minutes than i have in every game or replay I've watched this season combined

    That's exactly the sort of analysis that should happen during games and at quarter breaks.

    Maybe, but TV executives would be all over it if there was a market for it - if there is anything AFL do well, its the monetisation of their product. But im not complaining i appreciate the analysis and why i listen to Hoyne on Tuesday afternoons religiously.

    Sign the man up asap! What an amazing level of analysis. I wonder whether the club has somebody already doing this stuff. I also wonder if this sort of analysis is of more benefit to mug punters like most of us, or if the players would benefit from it if they don’t already get it in some other fashion.

    He is teaching me more about footy than I believed possible at my age, after having watched the game for so long.

    Well done Jeff.

    Would make a great ruck coach, forward game scout and game analyst for us.

    It’s why I’m shocked guys like Hoyne aren’t on the telecast. I’m guessing one of the reasons we don’t see this type of analysis during games is currently there’s not enough tv performers with the knowledge to do it. It’s bound to happen soon enough. The AFL website shows where they’re at. Has anyone ever read an informative article on afl.com. It’s embarrassingly poor journalism.

    Fans often deride their players for "guarding grass". Jeff's analysis demonstrates why they do this and how a zone defence operates.

    I loved it. My biggest takeaway from this sort of analysis is the new game plan and how difficult it must be to get all the players on the same page . I mean it sounds so simple, we have a new way of playing, how difficult can it be?

    The reality is much more complex, and I can see why it has taken awhile for the players to transition from what they have been trained to play for the last 6 years.

    I guarantee there would be a market for this. The problem is, there is no one in the media with the intelligence of being able to deliver it.

    Great analysis and it was good to see him mention about not getting sucked into the contest and hold, this is what the pies are doing, you watch Nick Daicos will lead his opponent into the contest and then peel away same with Josh it's smart play just hope we can continue to do those little things.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
