Sounds impresive doesn't it.

In reality, its only 5km a day. Some of the best mids would run 3 days worth in 1 game.

Our AFLW twins Sarah and Jess Hosking ran a marathon last year and i reckon they probably would've doubled that output over the same period.

Interesting factoid from Teague's members' presser; Samo led the league in defensive 50 ground ball gets. 

Your slipping Krud. 
If you read through it its on top of his normal program. So showing some determination to make it through and make up for the lost time this year. Hopefully he will bring that into the pre-season and a round 1 spot.

Not likely.

The players male or female cannot exclusively run as they would waste too much, lose what they have gained, they have a lot of other sessions they need to complete, but this is during a break so it's a pretty reasonable effort! Probably at least 6 to 8 days during that period would be leg days in weight sessions, there would no little or no running and not much the day after as it slows tissue repair and increases the risk of soft tissue injuries. So weight days you get warm up jogs maybe, the day after light runs only perhaps with some skills work.

You’re missing Teague’s point; Samo’s role is to hit a target coming out of defensive 50, something he generally does quite well.  His DE is lower than it should be as a result of 50/50 kicks under extreme pressure.

Of all of our defensive options, Samo is the only one with the poise and skill to hit a target most of the time.  Weitering is pretty good but generally isn’t under the same pressure.

As for our defensive mix, the reduced rotations will probably mean that taller defenders will spend little time on the pine.  That means that the starting 18 will include Weitering, Jones, Docherty, Samo, Plowman and Saad with Williamson and/or Marchbank on the bench.

Samo could spend more time in the midfield, or as a small forward, if the likes of Stocker or Kemp can step up and perform his defensive role.

I think Docherty uses the ball ok, SPS tends to kick the ball short imo, if he is the designated player to deliver the ball from defense he needs to get more ball.. 9-10 kicks isn't enough.

My take is that yes Samo often goes for a short kick, but it’s marked and gives us a “settled” kick as opposed to a pressured or play on type of possession.
Maybe that’s what they are looking for from him, hit a target when under pressure to release that pressure, then we can regroup and run and gun ?
