There is something you can find on the AFL app in regards to players and running.

Average speed in attack
Average speed in defense


....and there is team work rate (attack and defense) and a variety of other things.

,.....and thats just some of the stuff we know about.

you don't have to move to influence a game.  It's about filling space, making a contest or providing an exit kick and being ignored.  Some of it is completely incapable of being tracked.  Last night I watched Rowan Marshall lead Harris Andrews out of defense with a strong lead up to the ball carrier on the wing.  He didn't turn back when the first lead wasn't honoured.  He turned left and led hard to the pocket dragging Harris Andrews out of the defensive fifty with him which leaves king without the greatest fullback of the last 3 years on his clacker.  So his two sprints ignored the most important part of it.  That's the point I'm making.
