Fastest 100 Metre Runner In the AFL OAT

[Ginnieboy]

Grand final sprint is a bit of a wank, I don’t think my team (or any team) has taken it seriously, more like ‘who wants a ticket to the GF?’ Who are the serious contenders?

My pick.
Fraser Gehrig before he morphed into the Michelin Man/Buzz Lightyear, reports of him running mid 10s at WC on grass when he was a wingman, well mid to late 10’s depending on who you believe, either way that is airborn.

Any other nominees?

. According to the AFL app his "average" speed is faster than Usain Bolt.

His top end is not listed because he clocked the speedo.

 

[pz5151]

The snitch is pretty quick. Used to dominate the GF Sprint whenever he was in it.

 

[g_TRAIN]

We have Jack Peris on our list.

Son of Olympic Sprinters Nova Peris and Daniel Bateman.

His dream before he was drafted was to run in the Olympics and according to Nova, he run a sub 11 second time as a 15-16-year-old.

He hasn't made his debut yet so not sure he counts but he would be my bet for the quickest guy on an AFL list at the moment.

Here he is running 22.03 second 200m time in the U16s on a wet track

 

[Bunk Moreland]

This was from last year.

They only give top speeds though, and who knows how accurate they are.

[MF]

This was from last year.

They only give top speeds though, and who knows how accurate they are.

AFL top five fastest players in 2021​

Nick Hind (Essendon), 36.1km/h

Oleg Markov (Gold Coast), 35.89km/h

Adam Saad (Carlton), 35.7km/h

Tim Membrey (St Kilda), 35.6km/h

Travis Colyer (Fremantle), 35.39km/h

AFL top five fastest players overall​

Oleg Markov (for Richmond, Round 2 2019), 37.4km/h

Bradley Hill (St Kilda, Round 4, 2020), 36.6km/h

Jason Johannisen (Western Bulldogs, Round 13, 2019), 36.4km/h

Trent McKenzie (Port Adelaide, Round 1 2020), 36.4km/h

Gary Rohan (Geelong, Round 20, 2019), 36.1km/h

Nick Hind (Essendon, Rd 10, 2021), 36.1km/h

I wouldn't have picked Membrey

 

[Kanga Commando]

Hawthorns Geoff Ablett won the GF sprint 4 times.

When Gary joined Hawthorn he beat his older brother by 3m over 100m.

[MisterB]

Barry Besanko played a few games for Essendon around 1980 after a very good career as a national level sprinter. Would have them all covered.

 

[dean33]

Silvio Foschini was pretty fast.

Stewart Dew is very fast

Petruccelle is fast, wonder what he’d clock.

I reckon McCreery would be our fastest along with Crisp.

We have Jack Peris on our list.

Son of Olympic Sprinters Nova Peris and Daniel Bateman.

Here he is running 22 second 200m time in the U16s on a wet track

Yeah that’s quick!!!

[Scythe94]

Ben Long. According to the AFL app his "average" speed is faster than Usain Bolt.

His top end is not listed because he clocked the speedo.

What's even more impressive is that this was his TOG that day. Flying.

 

[g_TRAIN]

Yeah that’s quick!!!

He's a cat B rookie but he's had his contract extended and was super impressive for Sandy on the wing and HBF.

Wouldn't put it past him to make it - Seems a really professional and hardworking kid.

 

[RightYouAreThen]

Mark Zanotti and michael mitchell

 

[Ginnieboy]

I wouldn't have picked Membrey

How about the Scott twins? Both still hold sprinting records for Doncaster as youngsters.

 

[HairyO]

What's even more impressive is that this was his TOG that day. Flying.

View attachment 1528538

You can see why GCS dumped Bowes and pick 7 to bring in Long.

Mooney-esque.

 

[Ginnieboy]

My boy lined up on the reigning state u14 200 mtr champ this season in footy, got his ass kicked, said it wasn’t worth chasing him lol.

 

[Ginnieboy]

Ricky Nixon was no slouch either believe it or not.

Toot toot.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

I've never seen anyone run from end of the ground to the other as quickly as Aaron Davey. I remember seeing him just zip down the ground one day and thinking he could've legitimately been a professional sprinter.
