Sounds impresive doesn't it.
In reality, its only 5km a day. Some of the best mids would run 3 days worth in 1 game.
Our AFLW twins Sarah and Jess Hosking ran a marathon last year and i reckon they probably would've doubled that output over the same period.
The players male or female cannot exclusively run as they would waste too much, lose what they have gained, they have a lot of other sessions they need to complete, but this is during a break so it's a pretty reasonable effort! Probably at least 6 to 8 days during that period would be leg days in weight sessions, there would no little or no running and not much the day after as it slows tissue repair and increases the risk of soft tissue injuries. So weight days you get warm up jogs maybe, the day after light runs only perhaps with some skills work.

Interesting factoid from Teague's members' presser; Samo led the league in defensive 50 ground ball gets.

Re: SPS - DJC - 12-08-2020
The other point Teague made is that they are relying on Samo being able to hit a target coming out of the defensive 50.

If you read through it its on top of his normal program. So showing some determination to make it through and make up for the lost time this year. Hopefully he will bring that into the pre-season and a round 1 spot.
Even still, its really not that much.
I'm not saying its all for nothing, but i get a touch of the 'pre-season: he's flying' vibes which is put out each year to sell memberships.

Yes likely.
This was off-season for the twins and they didn't want to put on weight/muscle.
I used to run back in the day and i remember the last time i was training for an ultra-half marathon (28km?) i would've put those numbers up easily (while doing a full time job), and i was slack with the training. In order to do the full marathon, it would've been heaps more which is made easier when that IS your job.

SPS is going @74% in 2020 with his DE which is not bad, problem is he doesnt get enough of the ball and was averaging about 14 possies a game with only 9-10 kicks and 1 x Inside 50, thats not really going to give us much rebound.
As a comparison Saad went at 19 possies@81% DE.., Sam Docherty went at 19 possies@76% DE.
For the premiers..Houli averaged 19 possies @78%DE and Jayden Short went @19 possies@82%DE
Interesting stat is metres gained..SPS gained 167m and Short 480m.....Weitering was 216m gained...
I'm a tad confused how we are fitting everyone in down back especially with Saad, Docherty, Jones and Weitering as locks to play...if SPS is being kept down back then only one of Marchbank, Plowman, Newman, Williamson can play in the starting 18.
I'd like to see SPS used further up the ground and try and get him into the play more and encourage more run from him...
Re: SPS - WASurfer - 12-08-2020
Agreed EB and I said the same thing during the season. He was recruited as a midfielder and given the number of other younger mids that we've recruited who haven't come on as hoped, I would've thought SPS was a lock to play more in the middle. Unfortunately we've got a few who just don't get enough of the ball.
Re: SPS - DJC - 12-08-2020
You’re missing Teague’s point; Samo’s role is to hit a target coming out of defensive 50, something he generally does quite well. His DE is lower than it should be as a result of 50/50 kicks under extreme pressure.
Of all of our defensive options, Samo is the only one with the poise and skill to hit a target most of the time. Weitering is pretty good but generally isn’t under the same pressure.
As for our defensive mix, the reduced rotations will probably mean that taller defenders will spend little time on the pine. That means that the starting 18 will include Weitering, Jones, Docherty, Samo, Plowman and Saad with Williamson and/or Marchbank on the bench.
Samo could spend more time in the midfield, or as a small forward, if the likes of Stocker or Kemp can step up and perform his defensive role.
