Analysis 2016 Heat Maps - Sydney Games

[robbieando]

Looking at the Heat Maps this week vs the last two weeks one thing sticks out. Our defensive game plan holds up regardless who we play (look at how we keep our opposition to one pocket of the ground), but the harder the opposition or more pressure we face on offence the more we go towards one wing but still look to hit an option in the corridor.

Here are a few Player Heat Maps I found of interest

Hannebery - while Parker was best on, this shows the workrate Hanners put into today's game


Robinson - played more defensively than the past two Rounds and that might be a role he was given. We freed from it his impact in the third term turned the tide of the match.


Lloyd - Switched to a more offensive role. So while he got ball in the defence he got ball going inside 50.

Jack - If Lloyd had a role change it was partly covered by Jack at times. So while down Stats wise, impact was still important.


Jones - You think he gets more of the ball, he uses it so well. Is sitting deeper than Nick Smith which is having an impact on the team


Smith - Might be because he played on SJ, but he has been released further up the ground this year. Today was the biggest impact of the change of role within the defence


Papley - This is what a down game looks like....


McGlynn - Just for reference purposes

One thing I noticed with Papley late in the game (2nd Half), when he wasn't getting involved he really worked hard to look for the ball and help team mates around the ball.

For example offering options in the defensive half .Looking at the heat map, for a 3rd game small forward he is working hard.

ie. if he is getting lost in the game he is injecting himself. For a 3rd game player that is a great skill to have.

Promoted this to its own thread. Thought it might be interesting to track these during the season.

Sorry to intrude buuuut

Jake Lloyd's map is very interesting to me! Was he playing in defence in the first two weeks? Or just simply a wingman floating back to link up?

Thanks all!

shows his two way running strength. He not a defender as such but he gets the ball all over, great tank and underrated by many outside the club.

Nice man, I definitely got the impression he was more a gut running midfielder than a genuine halfback. I assume when McVeigh returns there's a greater chance he will be pushed further up field.

Great breakdown there Robbie, on McGlynn, I can't fault his attack on the footy and his forward defensive pressure.

Tonight's Heat Map


As you can see still working to the corridor but spent 10% more time in our defensive half and in losing the midfield battle we lost the match. The midfield was where we lost it.

Any requests for certain player heat maps?

Might also post the breakdown by quarter as well if it throws up anything interesting

Interested in seeing McVeigh, Mitchell and McGlynn if you could
