What is a “sprint”? Is it a % of your max HR indicating effort, or is it a certain speed? Maybe Saints are just real unfit & it was one of their plodders jogging but his heart rate was 90% of its max that caused these “sprints”

Today's game they broke the record for distance covered at high speed 52km at over 18km per hour
They classify it as time spent over certain speed based on GPS.
Can't recall the actual speed though.

Double edged sword and take the good with the bad - the bad being atrocious skills with the football in a lot of games when things just aren't clicking. Seen it many times this year, it's hard to be clean running that much
Only Sydney has won more final quarters than us this year apparently.
I'm talking the last 5 minutes of each quarter. I'd be interested in those stats

It is interesting to see the teams of those making petty comments.
Anyway, all I'm getting at is there is a distinct game style being built and perhaps this is a competitive advantage St Kilda are building on.
Geelong certainly looked exhausted in the 2nd half.

It's interesting, I remember watching St Kilda against Gold Coast earlier in the season and noting what a baffling team was because of how much pressure they put on and how hard they ran, but then they'd turn it over so frequently, their skills didn't appear to be AFL standard frankly.
We saw in the second half last night what happens when they're hitting targets: it seemed like we just couldn't set up quickly enough and we had no answers. They were just waltzing it up the ground: kick/mark, kick/mark, kick/mark. "Can they sustain it for longer than a half?" is the question.

You are onto something for sure. We are the Red Time world champions.
