Eastern Massacre

[Northern_Swan]

Looking at the Cairns AFL website they use the same software as the SYdney AFL this year & they are having troubles putting the scores on their site as well ... and they have played 2 rounds. Maybe worthwhile putting a note on SAFL website?

From what I can see the BDAFL have had a few dramas with the software too, as their results reporting hasn't been to the normal high standard.



FWIW, if the KangaBlues or any other club for that matter have the finances and the time to use these tech. aids to improve their teams performances then good luck to them. The only way footy will go forward in this state is if the clubs/leagues become more professional and implementing this kind of stuff is just the start. I'd suggest that it won't be long before other clubs start copying the KB's lead.

Your the professor of the comp champ so why would i look it up. And for the record i know how it is used after being involved at an afl club and if you were as cluey as you make out to be then perhaps you might re-visit how to use it.

Looks like the kids are in good hands.....

Go Eagles you appear to be well educated in AFL. You appear to indicate that you are or have been involved at the highest level of the game. In what capacity ie player/official etc and at which club. Surely you would understand the amount of time the senior coach or official at a succesful club would put in. ECE off field department would win the Admin. GF year after year for their efforts. What KC is obviously trying to implement at Campbelltown can surely benefit them this year no matter how big or small. Isn't that the job of the head coach to improve his playing group in order to win the elusive flag at the end of each year, and if his technology of Dart Fish and GPS do that then well and good. It may drag other clubs along and improve the standard of football within the Sydney area. From all reports it has dropped off the past 10 or so years.

I think you should just listen to blokes like Booza on this one champ until you do a little more research.Yes GPS does track your positioning and movement but if you have ever seen the player track from a game good luck trying to follow it. Not only do we use GPS data but we also utilise Dartfish Team Pro Analysis Software, why don't you look them up and get back to us all on it's benefits. The websites are as follows: www.gpsports.com & www.dartfish.com.au

Now don't you go losing any sleep over me finding time to analyse and use all this technology, I can assure you that we will be using every advantage it might provide.

Not if the kid isnt getting a kick.

The idea of the GPS system is monitor what position of the ground the player is running to and comparing it to where they receive the ball, etc. It shows the player where they should run to in specific positions and yes how hard they should run.

My point is that in a competition where clubs meet on tuesday and thursday for training i highly doubt that supercoach is going to sit down with his players and analyse all this - which it is designed for.

Its not used for competition to see how far someone can run. You would much rather a player in your side who knows where to run and get the ball - not a player who runs 14km and gets 5 kicks for the day

Apparently they are using new software and there were a few glitches which meant the scores didn't appear on the website, nor did they make the Sunday papers.

I would think it would be sorted out by next weekend.

Finally you have stated a fact on this forum admitting your a fringe player - at best.

Can you please enlighten us and let us know what benefits you have gained from it? This is a serious question - im extremely interested

i have never once big noted myself on this forum and never will, cause i accept the fact im pretty ordinary. The benefits are fairly self explaintory, able to see how hard ur pushing urself throughout the game, can be broken up into quarters. With the stats and the video footage that KC has of every game doesnt take much to analyse and compare each players performance.

U'd be shocked at how much time and effort KC puts into analysing every game, so get off the blokes back....im not in anyway trying to suck up to him....cause he knows me very well and that im not stressed over the grade i play.

I saw a bloke on Saturday in the 1's with No#1 on his back at Balmain run 14kms and he struggled to get 5 touches in total let alone 5 kicks and I'm not talking about L Stanford from ECE

[GoEagles]

Its simply a way for players to reflect on their running performance and compare with team mates. If it makes a young kid push harder to clock up more km's and work at a higher heart rate for a longer period, then it has to be a good thing, don't you think?

I havent been on here in a while...and well not much has changed, the same old blokes are making inaccurate remarks, on issues they have not a clue about.

GoEagles but if u havent realised the sydney football league has somewhat become semi-professional, i use the word lightly but when players began to become paid and sponsorship becomes a main source of revenue for clubs then it is the correct term.

So why wouldnt we want to invest into a GPS tracking system, im a least to say a 'fringe player' and i have been given the opportunity to use the technology numerous times over the preseason and have gained several benefits from it. Im not sure what the cultures like at ur club, but KC put into place one thats see's equal opportunity for those that put in the effort.

hahaha oh on the comment of GPS tracking = premiership........this should be divided by u being a fool. If it were true East Coast after last year would have bought a dozen of them.

Lets be honest, unless you are a professional football club why would you bother with GPS system. And if you did, surely you wouldnt monitor an old bloke like parks (no disrespect parks) but put it on a kid and see how he goes?

I think Kangacoach is trying to bluff people in higher authorities that by getting these things that he is actually a good coach.

If the ydont win the premiership this year then questions would have to be asked why they didnt get their money's worth out of the tracking systems.

The experts are out this morning aren't they! Didn't you read the article? Only a mongo would think that a GPS tracking unit should win you a premiership. I know I shouldn't have to even respond to such a dopey post but....don't you think we would use them on all players?

[GoEagles]

once again i find myself completely agreeing with rooboy and have a little something to add.

I was interested in reading about campbelltown's latest investment in the tracking systems, this was what coach glenn garner had to say "Although there will be a lot of data that we will get an immediate benefit from, the real advantages will be seen NEXT season when we can structure our conditioning"

Does this mean he has already or is wanting to sign with the roo's for next year or, and i put this to you from the war torn streets of baghdad with close ties to clubs in the ACT, is this a ploy to keep the truth about his future from getting out??

Sorry rooboys mate, no plans on going anywhere in the near future and plan on being at Campbelltown for a few season yet...the intelligent people in the football community have already worked out the ACT rumour was probably started by a mongo like yourself.

Great victory for our guys round 1. ECE juggernaut continues in 2007!

Considering the numerous player turnover, our new recruits slotted in well and took half a game to get going as most teams are a bit rusty come rd 1.

The old firm onball served well with Robbo being our best and Vlats.

The only concern I have is the very questionable tactics that were employed by our team. Two absolutely blatant head high shots off the ball on young Dockers coach were disgraceful. Both incidences didnt even acknowledge a free kick. Twice he was polaxed when the ball was nowhere in his area and he had no chance at all.

What was worse was that our players stood over him with abuse even whilst unconscious and on the ground for 5 minutes. Honestly, dont know how he got up after the first one. It may cost a couple of our lads a few weeks on the side line.

To our staff, well done on the recruitment and great win to start the season.

You have to be kidding about Hally dont you?

Only took hom one round to prove to the diehards that he is a cat and only about himself.

Memo to Balmain - spend your money elsewhere. The only good thing he has done is take Benny Kinnard there.
