I found this article which is already more than 13 years old:
AFL PLAYERS are on the field for longer, and run further, than any other mainstream professional sport in the world.

GPS data reveals AFL players, on average, run 14km a match on the League's biggest ground, Patersons Stadium.

In English soccer's premier league, players run around 11.7km per match, while in Australia's elite rugby league matches, players will normally run between 8-10km per game depending on their position.
