Interesting. I remember back in around 2011 and 2012 when we had all of Garlett, Betts, Armfield and Yarran on the team I knew we had fastest team in league for a couple of years and our best weapon then.
Betts has always been quickest of mind in what he was doing, to get around other players but for leg speed on it's own when watching Carlton back then felt Army had them all and Garlett second. Not much between them all though. Now Betts and Garlett are at other clubs interesting to see neither Betts or Garlett were measured quicker then Amrfield. Also remember a game Dangerfield running at top speed and we all know he is quick but Armfield ran him down and dumped him easily in the end. Armfield is older now so probably dropped off a little and now retiring. I not sure figures are conclusive though but I have little doubt Armfield is no longer quickest at Carlton. Pickett looks quicker and when Tipps was on fire for Dons against us he ran down Tippa from behind easily so tipping he not played enough games when they measuring it to actually record it.
For mine just watching the play in general I would guess Pickett would be quickest in league followed by Jay Hunt and Gary Rohan. Charlie Cameron right up there too. Some players know how to use their pace best though and for that Hunt and Cameron most effective. Pickett still learning what he is doing out there. It was funny watching him against Hawks look so quick but still not know what to do with his own electric pace. When he learns how to use that weapon, watch out.
