News Grand Final Sprint

[Van_Dyke]

Love to see a handicap race... A taxi driver trying to run down Ben Cousins

On the edge of the Yarra.

Anyone that thinks the players take this seriously hasn't watched it before.

Dead serious. Three way 200M race between Ben Brown, Dawson Simpson and Mike Pyke. The real main event of the Grand Final. Get keen.

Killmatic soundtrack and I'll be buying the dvd.

That'll be too good but Fahrenheit 813 looped will do me personally. Dutchmassive is a seller.

I agree but Science of the bumrush volume 2 would be my preference. Keep it old school while Ben Brown burns up the track.

 

[Ausbenito]

Are they betting on this? surely Majak Daw wins this easy no questions asked.

 

[Superkoops]

I can assure you, they treat it as a joke.

Don't let James Walker read this, he has a pool room of GF sprint victories. He'll be down there drinking beers on Sat looking back on good times.

 

[Alfonz]

Didn't we put Haselby in this once?

 

[Allikat]

Dangerfield's usually taken it seriously because it's the only way he's going to win anything on GF day with how he's planned his career. I'm assuming he was disqualified this year for not having a team.

If Freo were serious about winning this, who would we send? Hill?

 

[Deathly]

If Freo were serious about winning this, who would we send? Hill?

If they were serious? Hannath.

 

[serial_thrilla]

If they were serious? Hannath.

I think the AFL would prefer it to be competitive. We can't pull that trigger and have us win by the length of the straight.

 

[freo84]

If Freo were serious about winning this, who would we send? Hill?

We did send Hilly and Dangerfield flogged him.

 

[Allikat]

We did send Hilly and Dangerfield flogged him.

Yeah I was expecting Hilly to be a lot faster than that. I get the feeling he may not have been trying his best.

I reckon throw in Sandi. He'll only need to take 2 steps to cover the distance.

 

[Kram]

Didn't we put Haselby in this once?

Yes, he was given like a 15m handicap start which was burnt up by about only halfway through the sprint lol.

 

[basashi]

Yes, he was given like a 15m handicap start which was burnt up by about only halfway through the sprint lol.

And when he reached the finish line the egg had fallen off his spoon thirty metres earlier without him noticing.

From what I can tell our representatives have been;
2015 - Crozier
2014 - Dawson
2013 - Forster
2012 - Mzungu
2011 - Mellington
2010 - Ibbotson
2009 - Hill


Hill had the acceleration, but not the top speed.

 

[Grandstan]

I've heard that Ibbo is our fastest sprinter atm.

 

[Scham]

From what I can tell our representatives have been;
2015 - Crozier
2014 - Dawson
2013 - Forster
2012 - Mzungu
2011 - Mellington
2010 - Ibbotson
2009 - Hill


Hill had the acceleration, but not the top speed.

Hilly would be much stronger now.

 

[Sully90]

I know it's funny and all when we see some of the players named, but this race used to actually be interesting to watch when they took it a bit more seriously (circa early 2000's)

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Cmon Pav, get the longest kick. Don't ping a hammy

You hardly need to run that far in an AFL match at top speed. Hill was the quickest over a distance useful in an AFL match.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Daw won the first heat with ease.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Towers won the second race. Crozier third, spending most of the straight looking from side to side at the other guys.

 

[danstar]

crozier looked surprised he was 3rd in his heat
