Yer very very fast. Doesn't have that fast look like the Davey's and Campbell's of this world but would have them over the traditional 100m. As mentioned before in here pb of around 10.5 for the 100m which is sharp.
But there are prob quicker over 20-40m, it varies.
I've never seen anyone faster on a footy field than Aaron Davey in his first year of AFL.

So in other words kids are getting bigger, stronger and faster?
Wojak would easily be the quickest at the moment. Lets just hope he's not busy this grand final day.

Club Legend
Scott Chisolm 10.79 over 100m, on grass , not in spikes.
If this was a 2002-2006 thread Chris Judd would have been listed - these days his pace is never even mentioned.
Wojack is easily the fastest man in the AFL today, and i would even argue of all time.
He looks like one of those cartoons with the legs all blurred like when he's at full pace - looks as though he will fall over himself and has no control over his motion!!!
NOt only does fly like the wind, but he has a decent ability to kick at full pace now....something, that i'm sure any footy player will agree, is one of the hardest skills to master!

Any richmond supporters have that video of lids running through the middle of about five geelong players. Quickest grab and sprint i've ever seen that's for sure.
Some contenders:
Three Essendon footballers have won the Australia Post Stawell Gift :
• 1897, George Stucky, former Club captain
• 1929, Clarrie Hearn
• 1952, Lance Mann
Other VFL footballers of note to have competed in the Gift include Jack Grant, a half-back in Geelong's 1937 premiership team, who played for Geelong and Fitzroy for more than a decade and also won the 1938 Stawell Gift. After winning the Gift, Grant was given a week off by Geelong selectors and invited to make a lap of honour around the Corio Oval before the opening-round match against Melbourne. The next week he returned to football.
Fitzroy’s Trevor McGregor won the 1971 Gift. His brother, Murray McGregor, added lustre to the family's achievements by finishing third in the famous 1975 Gift, which was won in the slush by Ravelo off scratch. McGregor is the most recent league footballer to win the Stawell Gift. In this era of year-round commitment, it's almost certain that he'll be the last league footballer to do so.
Collingwood’s Bill Twomey became known as the father of Collingwood's famous Twomey brothers, Bill junior, Mick and Pat, who in 1953 became the only three brothers to play in a premiership team together. But Bill senior was a renowned sportsman himself, playing for Collingwood for five seasons before winning the 1924 Stawell Gift. His win was especially popular with local fans because, by then, he was also the playing-coach of Stawell in the Wimmera Football League. In 1933, almost a decade after leaving Collingwood, Twomey joined Hawthorn and played another two years of league footy.

1971 T.J. McGregor Templestowe Vic 7 1/4 11.7
McGregor the fastest of them off the peg. Austin Roberston Snr in his day was awesome. There are a number of modern day palyers who were sub 11 school boys over 100m. You'd think if they trained for sprinting a couple would have got down to the 10.30's.
Ricky Nalatu played Rugby 7's for Australia and has an official 100m electronic PB in the 10.30's.
There are a number in NRL who can move. I would like to see Inglis train and compete over 200m. As a sport NRL lends itself to sprinters more so than AFL. Mundine could have been very quick. He ran sub 7 HH 60's when at St George or in other words up there with the best Australian sprinters.

Ash Smith from WC, fastest non indigenous player at draft camp in the 20m sprint 2.8secs IIRC, he also runs a 10.6sec 100m.
He does have a lot of puppy fat on him still, lacks fitness so you would think after a couple more preseasons he could get even faster.
One to watch in the next couple years, has a huge boot on him too..Smith & Hurn of Half Back...Devastating!

I am sure if not for footy becoming full time professional we would of had a few other players do that. Lets face it plenty of these kids are promising sprinters growing up but if you get the choice of footy or athletics as a career I know which one is more likely to make you a good living. As for who is the quickest, it depends on what you mean... some of the indigenous guys are unreal off the mark over 20m but then guys like Wojack, Lids and Judd in his prime are going to be hardest to catch once they hit full pace.

Pre-injury Wojak was very quick. Now, he is nowhere near close to fastest in the AFL, let alone fastest of all time. Check out the videos in this link of Lawson, Ahmat and Mitchell. Would have left Wojak for dead.

That's Prince Scott to you.
Yes
He held the then record at the draft camp.
Funny how someone can go from being so quick to pace actually being his downfall.

That must be a weird feeling for a player, to lose such an athletic gift like speed while they're still young. You'd have to re-evaluate the entire way that you go about the game I'd think.
