Whilst this site covers all team sports it is specifically aimed at Australian Football (AFL). One of the reasons for this was that, when we started the site earlier this year, there was a real lack of quality online resources and information available. Hopefully we are contributing to wards changing that.
The good news is that we are not alone. I have inserted below these fantastic videos from the AFL’s community coaching page. They are produced by former West Coast Eagles assistant coach Rob Wiley, a highly regarded figure in AFL coaching circles. The series of videos go through modern styles of play, or game styles, to get you thinking about the game. Rob poses questions and challenges you as a coach to think about how you go about coaching certain scenarios and phases in the game.
If you follow this site you may remember I have put together some examples using footage already available on YouTube. These examples can be found below:
Game Style moments in AFL – part one
Game Style moments in AFL – part two
Rob’s videos are much better however, as he has annotated and narrated over the footage. As far as I am aware, this is the first resource (in the form of video) available online that has some genuine insight and substance from a coaching viewpoint.
Enjoy viewing the videos below and I really encourage any comments or thoughts you may have on them.

mark am extremely interested in downloading videos on this site, especially the rob wiley ones. So was wondering how i can do this so i can copy these to disc, as these videos show what i have been trying to teach my footy side
Hi Jason,
Unfortunately these videos cannot be downloaded – they can only be shared across the internet via a link, email or “embedding” them in a web page like I have done.
Probably your only option is to show these to your players off the website and note down the times in the video’s you want to show.
