WHO ARE THE TOP SIX SPEEDSTERS IN OUR TEAM?

Featured Replies

Reaction time is the most important factor in this assessment. Oliver and Brayshaw are probably the quickest over 20m when a decision in which direction to run in is the most important factor. 

over a 20m sprint in a straight direction with a gun shot start I'd say

Hunt

Frost

Garlett 

Watts

Neville Jetta (and slowest of all the AFL playing jettas'

Heritia Lamumba. If the AFL won't let's us replace him he still counts as being on our list.

Heritia could hold the gun too like his old Collingwood mates that hung out with Sylvia used too.

For me the only genuine speedster is Hunt. He regularly uses his speed to run away from his opponents.  Garlett turns his speed on and off in short bursts to gain advantage.

Unfair on Frost

Well, Hunt takes the prize for speed.  He must be one of the fastest in the AFL. I am told that dangerfield might be quicker but I don't know on that one. Thought I would compare his best of 34.9 kph with the best of Usain Bolt when he ran his world 100 metres record, His speed? An incredible 44.1kph. We humans though, Bolt included, are rather slow compared to the animal kingdom. A very intriging one is that of the elephant who can reach over 40kph. How would an elephant be in our team charging down the wing at this speed? Difficult to stop I reckon. If he was an opposition elephant though I would back Jack Viney to apply a tackle and bring the beast down. Nev Jetta might have a go too.

Well researched deanox. Very interesting figures. Is there one of our game against Geelong. We could then compare Hunt with Dangerfield.

Here are a couple.  Salem takes top spot and Hunt doesn't feature.

 

I really think acceleration is a better measure of "pace" in our game than top speed but this is all we have!

Kent is much faster running toward goal than away... :)

Is there a stat for slowest players midfielders/defenders? When people say he is slow, I am curious at how slow he really is.

In Trengove's two games he had the highest average moving speed of anyone on the ground. 

Against Port he was Melbourne's highest (3rd on the ground) for "distance covered at high speed (above 18 km/h)".

He only played 90 of more than 120 minutes against port and 84 of more than 124 against north.

This is fascinating. Makes me think that JT is now in the wrong era of footy. Put him back in the 70's with that endurance and football talent, and he'd be a week to week gun. Without the top end speed though, if you don't have the vision and ridiculous delivery skill of Sam Mitchell, you're an also ran. Horribly cruel for JT.
