Geez not a great list from a career perspective

Confirms that being fast is a massive disadvantage in the AFL...

Confirms that Bolt took a while to get going, but when he did, wow!

Geez not a great list from a career perspective

Two players with more than 50 games - Watts (174) and Pearce (258).

Always amazed Pearce squeezed 258 games out of his career

20m sprint: 3.06

If they’re going to play him out of the backline his pace won’t be that big an issue with Maynard, Noble and IQ down there.

 

[Gone Critical]

Yep. A fair few draftees over the years would have been up there with Usain Bolt at the 20 metre mark of a 100 metre race. None of them would be on screen at the end of the race:

• The first 20m of Usain Bolts 9.69 second 100m run at the 2008 Olympic Games was in 2.87 seconds.

Combine records

Joel Wilkinson	2.75	2010
Jonathan Marsh	2.78	2013
Danyle Pearce	2.79	2004
Ashley Smith	2.80	2008
Marvin Baynham	2.81	2014
Nathan Freeman	2.82	2013
Jack Watts	2.82	2008

Sounds to good to be true.

Without knowing 100% I think the Bolt time includes reaction time (time from when gun goes to athlete reacts) whereas the AFL 20m time starts when the athlete crosses the timing gate to trip the clock

Once reaction time is excluded from Bolts time it’s 2.71 secs on my reading. You are right the best AFL players are with him for those few moments and then smoke. Don’t think they are ahead though.

Yes. I suspected they must have been measured a differently in favour of the draftees when I saw the stats, particularly as he should have the advantage with blocks.

The crazy thing is that he did his last 80 in that world record in less than 7 seconds.

That is crazy.

But I still think Kipchoge is more of an alien running a marathon doing 2:50 kms. I can’t do one of those, can’t even get remotely close... he did 42 of them back-to-back.

Skynet has taken over. The bloke is a terminator.

All of those elite marathon runners are frightening. It looks like they are cruising but if you tried to run next to them for even a short while it would be almost a sprint!

How many games do you think Tom Phillips would play if he had Pearce’s acceleration?

 

[pablo disco bar]

Just play this kid, looked great in the VFL highlights

Its just play him...

 

[TradeDraft]

Its just play him...

IF he keeps his Good Form then might be too long until he does.

Just not 100% Sure his Body would hold up

I say 3 weeks if good form roll the dice

Looking forward to seeing how he backs up his performance from last week. The stand alone clubs tend to offer a more physically mature squad so he’ll likely find a better matchup today on that count. I want to see his ball use improving. If he can do that with his run and flair he’ll definitely be in the frame for senior selection sooner rather than later.

Ball use in his draft clips was very good, on his left, no idea about his right. Hopefully his first up effort was more an aborration than a flaw in his game.

Yeah, I put it down largely to nerves and fatigue. Ball use been pretty good today.

 

[ClaytonM]

Plenty to like about this kid. Pretty sure he isn’t ready right now but give him time and think we might have something.

He might not look ready physically but I reckon he’s ready for the step up.

He's nowhere near the skinniest player we have debuted before.

Bigger then Nick Cox for bombers.
