@vulgros @AFL @Chrisyoung92 I wish I could say, but for ethical reasons I am unable to. The AFL have the power to "ungag" me. :-)

[Dan Dwyer @dan_bd]

Who are the most accurate goal kickers in the @AFL? We should answer this question by separating out the skill of the kicker from the difficulty of shot, shouldn't we? Players in the top-right of this graph achieve the highest accuracy from the hardest shots. Champions!

[Dan Dwyer @dan_bd]

#AFL players haven't been less accurate, when kicking at goal, over the last 20 years and some teams win by having fewer shots at goal from better locations than their opposition. Read all about it here; https://t.co/O5HuXeODll @Deakin_ExSc @Chrisyoung92 @_JSAMS

It was great to learn from Sport Science staff at the @GeelongCats recently, as part of our practical intensive week for Post Graduate Sport Science courses @Deakin_ExSc

[Dan Dwyer @dan_bd]

What an achievement for @Ajlatom in the US Open.👍

~4 years ago I left elite sport to work in industry R&D.

I often get asked for advice by sport scientists about moving industries...

So here's the main things I'd share: 🧵

Watching @Simona_Halep and @alizecornet contend with the heat in the #AO2022 and I would love to know whether elite players use a Sport Physiologist to optimise their temperature and hydration management.
