Analysis Browny & Tazz: The running machines!!!

[AdmiralBenson]

Hopefully Shaw (or future coach) can get more bang for buck out of Brown's odometer.

That's a lot of effort for relatively little reward. Against pies at least he was providing the outlet mark more which showed better utilisation of his running ability.

True, but doesn't help when our kicks inside 50 are often barely above Auskick level......

The numbers for Brown are astonishing.

I hope that his goal kicking run up is not included in those figures

 

[AdmiralBenson]

The thing about Brown is he never stops moving.

If he isn't running out of goal square, he is hitting up the wings. Back and forward.

Locomotive style.

TELSTRA TRACKER TEAM RECORDS

Season records

Total distance covered for season 2019: 3955km (8th)
Total distance at high speed for 2019: 517.5km (14th)
Total sprints for season 2019: 3357 (7th)


Single-match records

Total distance single-match record for each club: 293.2km v Sydney, round nine
Total distance at high speed single-match record: 43.1km v Brisbane, round two
Total sprints single-match record: 282 v Western Bulldogs, round 10


The sole time the Kangaroos won from their season highs above was in total sprints against the Bulldogs, and this proved a key indicator for them under Brad Scott. Winning or losing this category under Scott in the first 10 rounds equated with the final result. It was the opposite for Rhyce Shaw's opening three matches in charge, before they narrowly outsprinted the Pies on Saturday night. - Marc McGowan


TELSTRA TRACKER PLAYER RECORDS

Distance kings – average distance covered per match (minimum of two matches in 2019)
Ben Brown's running ability for a player standing 200cm is remarkable and this data comes as no surprise. Trent Dumont's another noted endurance athlete, while Jared Polec's arrival has given North's running stocks a huge boost.


1. Ben Brown: 15.62km per match
2. Trent Dumont: 14.63km per match
3. Jared Polec: 14.35km per match


Distance kings – single-match records for 2019

Kicking three goals has rarely taken more effort. That was Ben Brown's output in round two when he ticked over 17km in distance. The star forward fills up seven of North's top 10 performances in this area, with Trent Dumont responsible for the rest.


1. Ben Brown: 17.28km v Brisbane, round two
2. Ben Brown: 16.13km v Western Bulldogs, round 10
3. Ben Brown: 16.09km v Geelong, round eight


Speedsters – highest speeds recorded in 2019

Defender Robbie Tarrant and forward Cameron Zurhaar have four of the five fastest times recorded at North Melbourne this year. Majak Daw's typically a good performer in this category.


1. Robbie Tarrant: 34.13km/h v Fremantle, round one
2. Robbie Tarrant: 33.88km/h v Collingwood, round 15
3. Cameron Zurhaar: 33.48km/h v Gold Coast, round 12

Shock Tracker results: Your speed machines, endurance beasts

How does your team and players fare in the Telstra Tracker stats?

www.afl.com.au

I knew Cam Z had some toe but Taz can turn on the jets - 34 km/hr!!! The average speed for 10.00 second 100m is 36km/hr or 10m/s for those that didn't know. (Unsane Bolt gets up up to just under 45km/hr or 12.5m/s at his very fastest.)

I hope that his goal kicking run up is not included in those figures

If he kicked 10 goals in a game from set shots his run up would still account for less than 500m of his output.

He does provide outlet marks alot i reckon. he works hard to do it at times. Waite used to as well.

The eye test suggests Waite took a lot more marks around the ground that Brown, stats may say otherwise.

To clarify I think Brown is a great athlete working his hardest to contribute to the team. But as mentioned if he can close in on Nick Riewoldt effectiveness to capitalise on his tank and ability he could go up another level.
