[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

Pretty much the who's that of the AFL

[Yossarian 1,820]

$5 on him being pulled out last minute.

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Sandilands could win by falling over on the start line.

[Deeman 1,497]

Take the Hunt/Hartung quinella

[Bobby McKenzie 2,385]

Thought Sammy Blease might be our sprint representative. Hunt must be fast.

I think the main selection criterion is which VFL/WAFL/SANFL player is least hungover by this time in September.

Guys a big win here could propel us into next years finals. Don't underestimate the grand final sprint. It's the race that stops a nation.

[dazzledavey36 54,865]

Jordan Murdoch from Geelong can seriously run. Look out for him.

[kieranbj 111]

Thought Sammy Blease might be our sprint representative. Hunt must be fast.

Blease would need a rest break at the 50m mark.

He would win a 25m sprint though

[ManDee 7,134]

Thought Sammy Blease might be our sprint representative. Hunt must be fast.

The GF sprint would be the furthest he has run for years.

hed need to be a Dee to our representative ?

[DeeSpencer 25,680]

Why do people think Dawson is slow? He's not quick of mind but the guy is a decent stopping full back for a reason. He's not slow.

[Little Richard 6,262]

Why do people think Dawson is slow? He's not quick of mind but the guy is a decent stopping full back for a reason. He's not slow.

I think it's just the fact that 'Zac Dawson' and 'lol' in the same sentence seems to make a lot of sense.

[Deeoldfart 8,016]

Swab Ambrose if he finishes top 3?

[drdrake 3,163]

I'm sure they ran this year as a handicapped race, so Fev had a head start

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

the should make it more interesting and have the players have to bounce a footy as they go and kick a goal from 40 out to finish. Miss the goal or drop the footy your out

To maintain it's relevance the kick should be a drop kick.

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

To maintain it's relevance the kick should be a drop kick.

Or a torp
