So amidst all the other hullabaloo, I missed this somewhat odd initial sticking-point in the recent collective bargaining agreement; public GPS player metrics.

Unfortunately only the top-five in each category per game will be published, and unfortunately only for Telstra customers. Anyone have the app?

Some interesting reading.

    Unbelievable that my choice of phone carrier effects the amount of stats that I can get on a game.

    I moved all my phone accounts OFF Telstra a few years back because of high pricing and poor support. This sort of [censored] doesn't make me want to move back.

    I'm surprised you find this unbelievable, given the choice of TV service you have affects the number of games you can watch. Telstra pays the AFL what I assume is a substantial sum of money either as pure sponsorship or for access rights (or both) and gets something like this in return. Telstra then uses the exclusivity to help encourage (or in your case discourage, apparently) subscribers to their service. Just like Foxtel does with TV coverage.

    "Choice" is an interesting term.

    I can only "chose" to watch all AFL games on my TV if I "chose" to pay Foxtel a stupid amount of money for shows I'll never watch. Or I can "chose" to pay a smaller fee to Telstra for that content, but it can only be shown on a maximum screen size of 7 inches.

    I cannot "chose" a legitimate alternate source for these stats if I want to see them. They have been purchased by one company, who have locked them up behind a paywall I can only access if I have "chosen" their other products. Fortunately, as Rafiki has pointed out, it's pretty simple for someone to just screenshot and upload the stats. I have no doubt every game day thread on this site, as well as bigfooty and others, will have these stats posted. I will therefore "chose" to access these stats the only way I can as a non-Telstra subscriber.

    Yo ho ho.

    Here's the stats from the Adelaide game

    Interesting stuff.  Seeing who is doing repeat sprints, who is fastest (Hunt) and defensive and offensive speeds.  JKH showing lots of 'effort' - some here not sure of the impact, though....

    Thanks for posting.

    Surprised to see Mitch McGovern with the second highest top speed. I assume he wore his guernsey and GPS unit back to the Hotel in the bus.

    Edit: Thanks for posting @Rafiki

    The Federal Government must have a pretty decent Foxtel package, (although they can't check the fine print because there doesn't seem to be any print at all. Just handed Rupert 30mil. You'd be expecting some good statistics with that outlay.

    Australian print-media circulation statistics (weekly):

    The Herald Sun 850,000

    The Daily Telegraph 639,000

    The Australian 336,000

    Etc. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/jul/19/government-declines-to-explain-foxtels-30m-handout-for-sports-broadcasting

    Straight-up outrageous.

    BBO has had an ankle bracelet for years and I have a few friends in the Police force.

    Often I track him on my computer when he claims to be " at the gym" when in reality he is dressed in drag sniffing bike seats at Fernwood.

    Well Biffen thank you (not) for divulging hitherto confidential information.

    However, you are sadly errant re Fernwood. I was banned from that tawdry organisation some years ago over a misunderstanding that had little to do with bicycle seats.

    I also pee in the shower at the gym, it's good for athletes foot. If they don't want people to see it, put doors on the showers.

    The BBC online today has this interesting "tracking" story about how the data is used to enhance supporter experience in NRL. It also talks about its use at the Tour de France.

    Certainly adds to the experience as a remote spectator of the TdF. Obviously a different sport from footy, wonder of it will be just as useful

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
