Biggest leap in the AFL

[thatswhatimtalkinabout]

You are all wrong.



The correct answer is Carl Peterson.

He can cleany jump over 198 cm.

Yep, he can jump over most ruckman standing tall without touching them.

With OP.

And you, as always, are right Benny.

Congratulations on having the most knowledge on Big Footy - you are truly extra - ordinary

Draft camp records

Standing vertical jump Trent Croad 83cm
Running " " Jared Brennan 102cm

Wasn't Ramanauskas up there with the best of them at draft camp?

Pre-knee injury this man was the best.

Kouta's big grab against the Bombers

The "Air" apparent I hope Benny_Furs notices that he nearly jumps over a 201 cm tall ruckman in French and Travis Cloke.

Trent croad has an outstanding leap, when i saw his legs during st kilda and hawks it was creepy, it seemed he had muscles growing on a normal thigh muscles

Ex Hawthorn and Fremantle Player Greg Madigan did a high jump of about 210 from memory

Beleive it or not the fat tub of goo himself, Ashley Sampi, has a pretty good vertical leap as well

 

[juddy_Like]

Tim Notting.

Jeff White with a decent run up would be close....Hunter can jump also....sampi when fit from our blokes also, Burton Robertson (maybe 05 robbo though)

Tarrant when fit maybe past it now though, Jarred Brennan again when fit...noticing a pattern here...these leapers are often injured also ...dont know if theres anything in that or not??

Patty Ryder can jump so too Luke Mcpahrlin

Brad Ottens Mark of the year 2006.

Leo Barry...tho u dont get to see it that often these days with responsibilities at fullback.
Burton has lost his spring with knee troubles but was awesome.
White and McPharlin too.

 

[Fastback]

Saw Buddy virtually walk onto a Brisbane defenders shoulders in round 1 - would have been MOTY had he held it longer. Won't be long.

Campbell Brown isn't playing on the bigger blokes solely for his speed.

Waite for Carlton has springs in his boots too.

 

[cammo78]

If it's a "for their size" argument, Campbell Brown.

matty robbins

 

[Cyclops]

Not surprised at Croad's record at draft camp. He is a freak, its good to see him coming good as a important KPP.

Pendles has a mighty standing leap, just seems to float straight up without effort. Thats when he's not turning water into wine.

 

[Chewy]

Walker from Carlton, Brennan from Brisbane
Sampi, Williams, Ryder, Burton, Croad, Tarrant, etc, etc

There are so many great athletes playing the game these days.

I even saw Aaron Davey do a big leap recently
I didn't know he could (obviously he can)
He just chooses to mostly stay on the ground and rove the ball.

But leaping ability is probably the most overrated ability in modern football.
Judd typifies this - he has a good leap, but he prefers to run all day long.

Sounds like he wasn't the only one with a muscle growing.

 

[Impunity!]

The biggest leap I have seen in the AFL is Fremantle going from one finals win to premiership favourites in a single off-season.

 

[old_clint]

Colin Ridgeway, first Australian to jump 7 feet, first to play NFL; even though he only played Carlton Reserves I have a feeling he might have made a name for himself if he'd wanted to.

[Podge2Flanklin]

Apparently Carl Peterson fosberry flopped over Sandilands, then took 7 bounces and nailed a goal from 90 metres out.

 

[lindsay_bulldogs]

Can't believe no one has said Robbo for Melbourne. Burton seems to do it the most.

 

[Choota]

Terry Wallace the moment he signed that multi-million dollar, five year deal.

 

[Stephen2]

Off topic, but it's sad to see that Brad Ottens' mark would be deemed illegal this year due to one hand touching the guys back.

What a crock of shit that rule is.

read the posts again. robbo has been done. so has burton
