Finau 2 vs Tall Ones | Dynasty Volleyball Tournament (Playoff 4)

[@justintrawick7504]

There's something about watching the Spiking Viking come in at those angles, so powerful. Love these games Coach!

[@MiguelPerez-nj5jm]

Your setter is so good at setting your OH and backrow, but the quicks are justo tight and low. I’m sure for next tourney he’ll have it figured hit out, because it would make your attack much more unpredictable.

[@CSV1973]

he was outplayed by the opposite setter…

[@DaniCraftero]

Anyone know what shoes he wears?:(

[@omarderouich793]

Came here to say this, your middles couldn't get many spikes in :( they were forced to tip a lot of them.

[@Nick-eg4ps]

Very nice match, i love how much work you put in the these. But I noticed about the score that you made a little mistake and not the scorekeeper, which is no big deal, i can imagine this happens quick, i just wanted to point it out. At 26-26 your opponent got the point because your opposite hitter hit the ball out but you counted a point for your team, on the right side of your scoreboard, and this explains why you counted a score of 32-32 and the scorekeeper one of 31-33, thats the one point you miscounted. And i want to point again this is no hate in any way, i love your videos, keep up the great work!

[@lightningspark910]

this needs to be pinned! I'm sure coach donny would've picked up the mistake if it weren't for poor score keeping in previous games. regardless, they should've won at 32-29 (actual score 31-30) at 12:50 in the video from that missed antenna call...

[@Nick-eg4ps]

@@lightningspark910 oh that is true, it was probably hard to see from where the scorekeepers were, but it still sucks regardless

Love the gray shirt and green laces serves! Looks so smooth and powerful. This game was INTENSE!!! I could not tell who was going to win!

[@toopshigher4037]

these games look soo fun man. You got a solid setter with 2 really strong hitters in the big man and and bearded man. This is getting me excited and can't wait to get back to volley this weekend. We've been in lockdown here in NZ for the past month and haven't been able to play since. These vids make me jealous lol

[@adityarai3688]

Hello coach Donny I wanna know that the normal serve which we do (not a jump serve or float serve) normal one, can we toss the ball with our right hand or is it compalsary to toss it with left hand I am asking this question because wherever I watch a video how to serve a volleyball they always use their left hand to toss

[@CaptainFunk127]

I'm impressed how well you were able to fight your way back in it after looking out of synch early. Too bad that no-call on the antenna really put a damper on things. You guys played a hell of a tournament, though. You should feel good about that.

[@timcrnkovich4326]

at 10:13 you gave yourself a point when it was their's. it would've then been 27-27, then you got 2 points in a row, so you should've won then. edit: nope just rewatched, the refs were right.

[@twig9027]

Fr bruh

[@arronvuong5993]

what shoes are coach donny using here?

[@J-Albz]

Hey Coach, I'm just a little confused why the score starts at 4-4 (assuming it's because the first couple of points are warming up both teams) and what the games go up to? Also great match and rallies. You could see how Finau 2 had 2 main players that played unreal, but your team has so much balance in all positions. Feel free to introduce the rest of the Tall Ones in a future video! that would be cool to be able to get to know the rest of the team. Side note why don't you guys all rock Elevate Yourself style jerseys? I feel like you could make such a crisp jersey with that lime green and black! Look good, feel good, play good! Also remembering how you said DBZ was one of your fav animes growing up. I can't help but notice your powerup cheer after a solid play! I love it! I'm excited for the next match! Good luck!!!

I looked so hard for this comment idk how more people aren’t pointing that out they were some deep dish sets for sure

[@voughn5]

@@henrylewis6927 I hate playing against these kind of setters. It makes you stop as a blocker coz you know it's a lift. Then he can easily change the direction of the set when he lifts and throws it perfectly every time.

Is it me or Finau's setter lift the ball in every setting?

[@bigchief9001]

Thank god it wasn’t just me that noticed, there were like at least 5 dodgy sets that should have been called for a carry

[@TheTrueChaks]

I noticed this as well

[@sufferordie3412]

Probably played beach, setting is way more lax there

[@kennethreyes6799]

Definitely an error. Lifting the ball too much while setting

[@CSV1973]

he’s actually not a setter… just a backup.. he out set the Tall Ones setter… like in all the comments.. TO setter couldn’t set middle… and they got beat even though they have more talent…

[@yerkinassylbek]

Aside from the score being incorrect this is basically an on edge match from Haikyu, literally one point away from losing and the Tall Ones do a fantastic job keeping the ball alive and scoring with defense

[@XxXStoneFingerXxX]

In this one, the score keepers did not make a mistake. Coach miscounts the spike at 10:08

[@taketimeandfind6]

Looking like some fairly beachy sets happening on the other side…I thought this was supposed to be indoor?

[@EechenOFFICIAL]

What's up with the score? Aren't sets supposed to end at 25 points (not counting deuces)?

[@XxXStoneFingerXxX]

Coach miscounted the spike at 10:08, so in fact, no team was up by 2 points after 25 until the match was over.

[@kennethreyes6799]

The opponent's setter seems to lift the ball while setting. What are your thoughts, Coach Donny? (Not a setter, so I'm not sure hehe)

[@slacky9697]

[@Siaonara-]

Scorekeepers should 100% be held accountable. When your setter made the crazy end point at 28-26 that should of been game. They looked so lazy, were they getting paid?

[@cabdriver123456]

Nah, Donny messed up the score while editing the video. At 10:09 when it was 26-26 his opposite hit the ball out and he gave his team the point. The scorekeepers weren't making mistakes this game.

[@XxXStoneFingerXxX]

Ask Coach at 10:08 👍🏽

[@NoctisCaelus]

You have better players 1vs1 but they won the game (even with the weird calls and no calls you should be in front in the score with these players that you have). Unfortunately your libero is a liability, and seems that defense is not his strength. Doesn't read and doesn't know where to stand in the court defensively. Middle threat is almost non-existent and most of the times your hitters are facing double block. For sure you can improve on that. The diagonal needs to participate more in defense and covering (e.g. 3:25) and be quicker getting away from the net when there is no need to block and has to cover/defend. Donny did very good job in passing and defending! Now, with these two left handed hitters you could do wonders but the setting pace has to be quicker. No need to "shoot" the ball or do something crazy, but especially from position 4, sets with such a high trajectory are difficult to hit (especially for left handed) and you will always face double block. With a left handed diagonal and a good first ball you really need to play quicker from 2 or 1 and have the middle attract at least one blocker. Your setter is good but now he needs to step up his game and become more aggressive (be aware of the opposite blockers, quicker pace especially with good first balls, and dirty tipping from time to time 😏 ) Keep training! Step up your defense increase your attacking pace and you will see great difference in your game :) Good luck!

[@jamesmarshall7327]

Very lax setting no calls. The other teams setter carried at least 5 times. You guys got hosed by the bad call anyways. Hate bad calls when the game is so close!

[@slumpt4711]

You being front row seems like a liability to me. Against better teams with crazy blockers you attack doesn’t seem like it’ll work. But could be wrong

[@randomdudewholikesanime1985]

But he’s going to end up front row anyway as he’s not a libero? No offense, but please check up on volleyball rules and the rotation system before commenting things like this. You also ignore all the kills he had in the video. I’d be more concerned with a small blocker than hitter. Edit: people also attack from the back row, although more rare. Being front row doesn’t dictate whether one is an attacker or not.

[@gamegraphsandstats1201]

Have you ever watched him play in USAV nationals in the A division against 6'6 and up players? He can definitely hold his own against huge blockers.
