I have just racked my brain to an inch of it's life working out the angled run here but I got some closish figures for this sprint.

Using the length/width of the center square, the length of the Marvel Stadium ground thus enabling to estimate the distance between each grass cutting, I was able to get the timed below.

Also I started his run from the half back edge of the center square.

#1 - Center Square Edge to Grass Cutting 1

- Width x 14m

- Length x 11.39m

- Total Distance x 18.04m

- Time x 2.02secs

- Meters Per Second x 8.93 (ave)


#2 - Center Square Edge to Grass Cutting 2

- Width x 17.5m

- Length x 22.78m

- Total Distance x 28.73m

- Time x 3.61secs

- Meters Per Second x 7.96 (ave)


#3 - Center Square Edge to Player

- Width x 18.5m

- Length x 28.2m

- Total Distance x 33.72m

- Time x 4.23secs

- Meters Per Second x 7.97 (ave)


#4 - Grass Cutting 1 to Grass Cutting 2

- Width x 4.5m

- Length x 17.08m

- Total Distance x 17.68m

- Time x 2.21secs

- Meters Per Second x 8.00 (ave)


#5 - Grass Cutting 2 to Player

- Width x 1m

- Length x 5.69m

- Total Distance x 5.77m

- Time x .62secs

- Meters Per Second x 9.31 (ave)

It should be noted that this was deep in the last quarter and he managed an ave m/s of 9.31 in the last 5 - 6m but I'd love to see how far over 10m/s he registered earlier in the run via his GPS.

As always speed is king because if he can't even hit 10m/s fresh, then how is he even gonna get close to Patty Dow running down the wing?

He doesn't and then Dow can take another 2 running bounces, kick an easy goal on the run from 40 - 50m out and the Bulldogs lose.

Simple.As.That.
