The fastest Demon

I'd put my money on Aaron Davey aka Flash.

In recent times Hunt wasn't slow and we have a couple of speedy youngsters.

Given the length of his legs Kp is pretty fast.

Any others?

    Actually while reflecting on this, Luke Jackson is probably one of the fastest ruckmen to ever play.

    There's footy fast, then there's 100m fast. I seem to remember Bluey Adams had a professional running career at some stage, and Jed Adams was runner-up in his GF half time sprint (to Max Holmes I think)

    Windsor and Sharp are probably the fastest of our current bunch for raw pace. It would be interesting to see their GPS numbers for all players.👍😁

    The fastest at the club at the moment is Kade Chandler. Windsor has said many times in interviews that Chandler comfortably has him covered.

    I'm surprised by this. When Windsor lights the afterburners he seems vevy quick.

    Steven Tingay always looked quick as well.

    Stan Alves - fleet of foot

    And Robbie had a bit of toe as well

    Rhino Richards once he was wound up

    Have no doubt, Bluey Adams was footy fast, very fast. Never ever saw him chased down from behind. He just jetted away every time. Ralph Lane on the wing also had a ton of pace and played at the same time as Bluey. Athol Webb also was a very quick leading forward. Acted as a decoy for big Bob Johnson but still managed to boot goals.

    Joel Smith also had a mountain of pace and athletisim. Such a waste of a career.

    Was one of the few players that could keep up with and even out-pace Charlie Cameron a few years back when Charlie was still in his prime.

    It's probably not the biggest factor, but I think his loss adds to the drop-off post 2021 / 2023 era. He was emerging as a genuine forward threat and/or could also play an important role in defence. When you stack up that loss on top of Hibbo Gus, Jackson, Hunt, Harmes, Jordan, Trac&Clarry not being at their best, Lever and Salem inconsistent through injury.

    It all adds up to not having the same depth of mature capable players to keep the side competitive every game and maintain the rage throughout the entirety of a season. This season we've been competitive with the best on occasions throughout the season, but our dips and inconsistencies in form throughout the season have cost us from being a finals grade team.

    The question also has to be asked I think is how you define fast in footy terms?

    There are the straight line lopers that could win a 100m race given an expansive open space to run into, but in footy terms, I think having the combination of acceleration off the mark, agility and reasonable top speed pace is the combination that makes you think that the player is pacy.

    Kossie, Winsor and Chandler would be my top three of our current batch in those respects. Although Chin might have the highest top line speed, I think it's the agility and ability to evade and step around traffic that make Kossie and Windsor more damaging and appear faster around the ground.

    Im with you on this. Athletically, he is the prime example of the modern football player.

    I'm not sure if he would be right amongst the quickest of players we've ever had play for the team, but Hibbo was often spoken about as being quick off the mark and super fast over a short distance.

    Hibbo was very fast running off to the crowd with the Premiership Cup!

    The quickest I have seen is Scott Chisholm although he was an inveterate diagonal runner ,Sid Catlin and Neville Stone were both pretty sharp.

    That's some call back...The Prince!

    I must say, I have no idea was an inveterate diagonal runner is. Sounds painful.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
