yeah he is heading for the Beijing Olympics too.
First man to win a brownlow and the 100ms gold. I mean, 10.9 with limited special training, is pretty slick in my book. i would suggest 10.3 gets you into the final if not the semi final at least. I would even go as far as to say, he would kill a 200ms, he gets faster after the first 100.

 

[TDub23]

yeah he just gota do it more cause when at at full speed no one gets near him

 

[Calcium Man]

Rusling and Clinton Benjamin both go about 10.5 for the 100 metres.

 

[TDub23]

whos clinton benjamin

 

[Calcium Man]

Is on Carltons list taken late in last years draft. Got real pace but is very soft. Does have real potential but i just cant see him reaching it.

 

[marco polo]

Plays for Carlton.
He was picked up in the draft last year somewhere around pick 50 (correct me if im wrong) from Claremont in WA.

whos clinton benjamin

Fast and soft. sounds like a terry wallace wet dream. cant belive we didnt pick him.

 

[Al Foil]

Would be interested to see Deledio v Foley in a sprint. Deledio would probably win, but damn Foley is fast when he's on the break.

I wonder how much extra running work foley did on his own, by his own admission he used to be a grab and hack player, now he jets through packs with ease. captain material and I won't stop saying it till it happens.

 

[ClarkeM]

Collingwoods Ryan Cook looks promising

Foley looks damn quick off the mark but I think deledio would have more top end. I think this is why Foley breaks and clears packs so well, that initial burst of speed and power when he first gets the pill.

Those little pumper legs, great for dashing away from packs...

Breakdowns over the first ten and twenty metres count the most in Australian Rules. No one rarely runs flat chat for a hundred metres without having to bounce a ball. Most of the tests at draft camp consist of short bursts:

Quickest over the first 25m or so would have to be:

Deledio
Pearce
Judd
Jeter
Goodes
Both Daveys
Foley
Betts
Peake
J. Lewis

Who else?

Wojcinski Tambling, Jon, Dale Morris, Lovett, Wells, Krakouer(port)


J.Lewis is not quick not even close

Goodes also isnt super quick off the mark but has a big stride, hard to catch when hes motoring. Betts is slippery not that quick.

Betts and Lewis are in fact very quick. They actually use their pace to close in on opponents and make ball and all tackles that win the ball back. Can't say the same for Tambling, JON and Lovett.

Goodes is the only player from Sydney who can match it with Judd. No, no, you're right it must just be his big stride.

you talking about Lewis from whorethorn?

if, so, nah, hes a one-paced inside midfielder not even close to being in the upper-echelon of speed

Lewis is fast between the ears. Similar to Selwood at geelong.

Leg speed wise he isnt as fast as the guys mentioned.

It may sound stupid but tamblings current problem is he is too fast. Needs to slow down and stop trying so hard.

 

[jockey-sized midfielder]

Will Thursfield would have to be in contention for the quickest man over 25m in the AFL. He has the best closing speed in the AFL

Sorry Calcium Man but i have to disagree there, IMO he needs to try a heck of a lot harder.

I really feel for the kid because very few of our players actually try as hard as tambling. He came 4th in the NAB pre season comp because he worked his @rse off. He came back early from his shoulder injury because he was desperate to play. They told him to be careful with his shoulder but he still lays a about 3 tackles a game. The kid gets a very unfair rap.

You watch him when he runs thru a pack and grabs the ball. He is doing it so fast that he fumbles. Its not effort thats the problem its confidence, I just wish he would slow down a little a make sure of things instead of doing it at absolute full pace.

watch him closely mate dont just say he needs to try harder because he isnt doing well

[marcmurphy3]

Fevola would be close to the fastest over the first 20m.
