The First Use Channel
Learning from the AFL
What it is
The First Use channel is where Jeff White shares what he learned as an elite footballer. Each video breaks down a passage of the game: a centre bounce, a structure behind the ball, the tactic that won a match. The analysis goes to the community as a knowledge tool.
It is a passion project about the intricate mechanics of the game, and it keeps going. Every video is free, with no account needed, on YouTube.
