Understanding the individual and coordinated movements of athletes in team sports is crucial to the effective design of playing strategies. The on-field position of every athlete during matches must be known to paint a complete picture of opposition strategies. Currently, the geolocation (GPS) data generated by opposing teams are not available to professional Australian Rules Football (AFL) teams. However, animations of the GPS data from all teams are made commercially available by the official statistics provider of the AFL. This paper leverages multiple object detection neural networks to detect and track athletes in on-field animations of GPS data during professional Australian Rules Football matches. The novel method developed in this paper unlocks the ability for tacticians to analyse the strategic patterns of their direct opposition. View this paper
