GPS data reveals AFL players, on average, run 14km a match on the League's biggest ground, Patersons Stadium.

In English soccer's premier league, players run around 11.7km per match, while in Australia's elite rugby league matches, players will normally run between 8-10km per game depending on their position.

St Kilda legend Robert Harvey - considered a running machine when he played through the 1990s and 2000s - reportedly covered 19.6 km in 2000.

Hawthorn Brownlow medallist Shane Crawford was also a marathon man on the field, once tracked running 17 km in 2005.

Players spend on average 5mins 25 secs per match running at above 18km/h.

haha yeah i know ,i just was talking about stamina preservation during a game,since i dont know much about AFL i assume its a more stamina-consuming sport than soccer

I had a feeling this would be somehow related to Australia. Something in the title just screamed it mainly because Sora96 made the thread.

Interesting though.... I guess?

What exactly is AFL? I keep thinking its like the NFL but I know its not.

I think the scariest part about this thread is that there is a graphic that someone put time into that is probably just as obsessed as Mr. 96.

Fred. One of the first things about Australians you need to know is: We Are Obsessed With Our Sport. It's just something that runs through our culture I guess.

Its nothing like the NFL, American Football is way better than this. And what is the difference between the AFL and rugby? They look the same to me.

You've never even watched a game. Don't judge until you watch it. I made that mistake with the NFL. Now I'm a passionate Patriots supporter.

 

Rugby is shit. Don't ever compare it to the AFL.

AFL looks like rugby though

How the firetruck can you think that? They are completely different.

Okay you are right, I haven't watched a game of it. I need to watch a game of it then to see if it is good or not. Is there any way to watch it over here in the US?

They both involve people kicking balls to score points.

ESPN airs AFL matches. While there is also an official website where you can live stream games legally at a fee. You can also watch full match replays on afl.com.au.
