Our game has certainly evolved over the years, both physically and technically, with the intensity and player demands higher than ever.
In-depth analysis of play is key to athlete and team performance and being able to communicate this analysis effectively is critical.
Modern-day graphical analysis software such as Ross Video’s PIERO plays a big part in an AFL team’s coaching department.

This week we feature another amazing clutch goal by Collingwood star Jamie Elliott, this time in the Round 23 thriller against Carlton that gave the Pies the double chance and punted the Blues from the finals.
After receiving a quick handball from Nick Daicos, Magpie defender Brayden Maynard runs through half-back and pinpoints his skipper Scott Pendlebury with a perfect pass.
Wasting no time, Pendlebury swings on to his left foot and puts the ball in the direction of Jack Ginnivan, who blocks out Carlton’s Adam Saad and lets the ball go over his head to teammate Jamie Elliott.
Elliott turns inside, and sizes up the goals on the run.
Despite Saad’s best effort to run him down, Elliott splits the middle of the goals and the Pies kick their fifth major of the quarter in another miraculous recovery that saw them win by a point.
