  • Evolution of Physical Demands of Australian Football League Matches from 2005 to 2017: a Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Samuel J

Sports Medicine - Open (2021) 7:28 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40798-021-00301-1 SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Open Access Evolution of Physical Demands of Australian Football League Matches from 2005 to 2017: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Samuel J. Janetzki1* , Pitre C. Bourdon1, Kevin I. Norton1, Jackson C. Lane1 and Clint R. Bellenger1,2 Abstract Background: There is extensive research investigating the match demands of players in the Australian Football League (AFL). Objective: This systematic literature review and meta-regression sought to analyse the evolution of in-game demands in AFL matches from 2005 to 2017, focusing on the relationship between volume and intensity. Methods: A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted. Included studies examined the physical demands of AFL matches utilising global positioning system (GPS) technology. Meta-regression analysed the shift in reported volume (total distance and total match time) and intensity (metres per minute [m.min−1], sprint duration and acceleration) metrics for overall changes, across quarters and positional groups (forwards, nomadics and defenders) from 2005 to 2017 inclusive and for each year between 2005 and 2007, 2007 and 2010, 2010 and 2012, and 2012 and 2015/2017 breakpoints. Results: Distance (p = 0.094), m.min−1 (p = 0.494), match time (p = 0.591), time over 18 km·h−1 (p=0.271), and number of accelerations greater than 4 km·h−1 (p=0.498) and 10 km·h−1 (p=0.335) in 1 s did not change from 2005 to 2017.

Downloaded from VU Research Repository https://vuir.vu.edu.au/37434/ Running head: SET-SHOT GOAL-KICKING A Notational Analysis of Set-Shot Goal-kicking in the Australian Football League A Notational Analysis of Set-Shot Goal-kicking in the Australian Football League Abstract Set-shot goal-kicking is recognized as an important skill in Australian footbal, accounting for over half of all goals kicked in the Australian Football League (AFL). However, as knowledge surrounding its performance is limited, this study described the frequency, types and outcomes of set-shots in the AFL, and investigated the impact of task, personal, and environmental constraints on goal-kicking performance. We analyzed video footage of set- shots from all 198 AFL 2012 matches, collecting data for kick distance, kick angle, player position, player experience (i.e., general and specific), kick outcome, and weather status. We found an average of 23.0 (SD = 4.5) set-shots/match, with a mean accuracy of 55.0% (SD = 0.7%). Kicking accuracy decreased with incremental increases in kick distance, with accuracy ranging from 97% (0-15m) to 36% (≥50m).

  • Free Agency and the Australian Football League
    FREE AGENCY AND THE AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE JUSTIN COOK* AND CHRIS DAVIES** The Australian Football League (AFL) has operated a twin labour market control system of salary cap and draft since the mid-1980s. While the AFL can point to facts such as an increase in the number of clubs winning premierships since this time to justify their use, the players were still restricted in regard to playing for the club of their choice. This therefore led to a push from the players for free agency, which was introduced at the end of the 2012 season. Its main features are a two tiered system of restricted and unrestricted free agents, an eight year qualification period and compensation in the form of draft selections being granted by the AFL rather than coming from the club receiving the services of the free agent. It is suggested that the AFL had no choice but to introduce some form of free agency, though only time will tell whether the model adopted represents a balanced policy that serves the League, clubs and players fairly. IINTRODUCTION The Australian Football League (AFL) is one of the most regulated sporting leagues in the world, operating both a salary cap and draft system in its quest to create a more even competition. Arguably, the AFL has flourished since adopting these labour market controls, transforming itself from a Melbourne-based, suburban football competition into a commercially successful national competition generating a turnover in excess of $700 million per annum.1 The AFL's model for a stable and even competition is predominantly based upon the National Football League (NFL) in America.
