Droobie Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 In tonight's football match (Australian Football League) a few players will be trialling a new GPS system that tracks their movement on the field and heart-rate. Would be able to see when the player is running/walking and their excitement/stress level when going for goal. Players wear a vest with a heart monitor and tracking device under their shirts. In AFL, there are multiple substitutions, plus there are runners (coaching assistants) on field able to give instructions to players during the game. Wonder if such a system would be good for the EPL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Might be usefull on Beattie, he might be able to plot his way into the six yard box. :D Or maybe the satellite will be able to show which boozer VdM pays regular visits to. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 There is a club called the "West Coast Eagles" out of perth. They need this to track players down: From i.e: Nigthclubs Brothels Casino's Local Dealers Police lock up Unexpected Rehab check in's Not ness in that order. However, this conception I can see as another added tool for the arm chair viewer. Tv Producers & execs wil llove it, the stats men will love it & no doubt a few fans will 2.
