Daniel Chick supposedly ran the 400m in a club competition at hawthorn in world record pace.
He may struggle to walk now, but back then he was a speed freak (in more than one way)

I not been following our list changes closely.
Has Boeky got another year with us ?
Not yet. Just figured if running fast and not getting tbe ball was a criteria, he's a chance. Tongue in cheek as he improved greatly later in the year.

I still don't see why the fastest wouldn't be able to run lowish 10 seconds. It's not as fast as it sounds in terms of relativity - they'd still be getting flogged by good sprinters
Frasier Gehrig ran a quick 100 during his wingman days iirc, wouldn't have been low 10s though, because low 10s is flying!

(From wiki, so grain of salt and all that)

Gehrig was a versatile player during his AFL career, beginning his career at West Coast before becoming known as a powerful goal kicker and Coleman Medalist at St Kilda.

Gehrig holds the bench press record at both West Coast and St Kilda as well as being the best bench pressperformer in the AFL, with many additionally regarding him as the strongest and most intimidating player in the AFL. While in the peak of his career, he was also widely regarded as the fastest player over 30 meters in any ball sport.

Mumford has this.
He could give Jarrod Pickett a 30 metre start and still catch him to eat him before the 100 metre line.

Mummy did not make it. Oh well.

FASTEST FIVE

There was also a moronic table showing their 100m times vs Bolt, which included a heap of dumb logic, so I left that out.
Yeah trust Andrew Bolt to compare his 100m times to all those players. Can't believe he's still writing for this shit truck of a newspaper.

Daniel Chick claimed he could beat Cathy Freeman's time over 400m.

3 points:

a) saying something and doing it are different
b) Cathy Freeman never held the World Record for the 400m
c) Freeman's a woman - I could show you about a dozen 16-year olds who could beat that time today in Australia.
