WHO ARE THE TOP SIX SPEEDSTERS IN OUR TEAM?

[Bobby McKenzie 2,385]

These guys imo are pretty quick. Ranked in order, my thoughts are;

1. Jaydn Hunt ( No doubts on this one).

2, Jeff Garlett

3, Sam Frost

4 James Harmes

5.Billy Stretch

6. Javk Watts.

Anyone I may have missed?

Top speed? Average Speed? Repeat sprint?

[SFebes 4,884]

Apparently Frost is quicker than Hunt, then Jeffy, Stretch, Salem. Watts, Harmes next.

Sheer pace.

[Lord Travis 10,740]

Hunt
Frost
Garlett
Harmes
Kent
Watts

They need to learn to use it properly. Hunt and Garlett are the only ones who consistently take advantage of their speed. Frost tries but runs himself into trouble a lot. Harmes and Kent use it in spurts to stream forward when they're playing well. Watts uses it both ways when he is confident and in good form.

Great question. Think you're not far off either. I think Frost is the quickest off the mark player at the club but in terms of sheer acceleration its Hunt all day. Would like to sneak Kent in there when up and running.

In order,

Hunt

Kent

Hannan

ANB

Frost

Watts 

Melksham 

Garlett

have the fastest top speeds in the last 6 weeks.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

Jack watts???? Dafaq 

 

Hannan has pace

[praha 11,240]

Important to differentiate between top speed, pace, and quickness. Petracca has insane closing speed but isn't quick off the mark, whereas Hunt is a bullet off the mark but is often caught up in closing speed over distances. Same goes for Frost although he's a horse who can gallop away with sheer force. Maximum speed is a useless stat bevause most players over a distance can get up to a good high speed.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Jack Trengove.

Max Gawn

Jayden Hunt

Sam Frost

Mitch Hannan

Jeff Garlett

[DeeZee 7,398]

I'd love to see Frost on a wing, has pace and would hard to match up on

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Tmac needs an honourable mention here. Burns opponents off often.

You'll get someone tell you how in the draft combine he was really quick.

This is why I asked the question.  But ive answered the question of "absolute top speed" in the meantime.

In the draft combine Wattsy was really quick!

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,839]

I recon JKH would also be up there pace wise.

The other and probably more important aspect to consider of course is agility which allows players to get out of tight spaces and actually use that pace.  I think this is where there is most consistently a clear gap between Hunt and the rest of the pack.

Never seen 'em sheering.

[dimmy 1,307]

Doesn't TMac win the 3km time trial each year. I think for endurancve he would be up there.

Would agree without question Hunt burns people off regularly.

I would have scoffed as well, but the the evidence of an upper-end top-speed is right there in the tracking data. Fair play when it's warranted.

JW burned off his Collingwood opponent (?name) running for 'that ball' on QB, then after making space seemed to make time stand still as he lined up and slotted 'that goal'!

For his size he has decent toe
