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.

    Good call. He was only five foot six inches tall.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
