Interesting to see Col get the chance, anyone else surprised that we picked Col?

 

[Fairtex09]

I thought Davey would be the logical choice.

 

[demonfan9]

Don't remember Davey ever competing in the Grand Final Sprint. Not sure why, he is clearly our quickest player.

Sylvia has a strong burst of accelaration, but I don't think he'd beat many lightning quick blokes over 100m.

 

[WattsGoodForYou]

Yeah i want to see teams actually enter their fastest players. I remember that Fev won it once and the year Brett Deledio won, he only beat Bell by 1/2 m ish...

 

[Dez!]

Possibly just getting practice for a few years when he comes screaming down the middle of the G, ball tucked under the arm to launch a bomb from 60m to win the Grand Final for us.

Well thought out move from the club.

 

[Future Star]

Doubt Davey could stay the 100 would be quick for 20 but then tire. Wonder who is the quickest at the club over a hundred, Bell is good i know and obviously Stef is quick maybe Blease???

 

[cameeel]

I think the bigger question is why Mike Pyke is representing Sydney?

 

[Surkin]

Wade Thompson will win.

Search for him on youtube, you will find out why.

It might surprise some that PJ was actually the quickest in our squad over 100 metres... Not sure if he still is tho!

Which squad are you talking about? Not the Melbourne Football Club squad surely ..

After picking up a Brownlow vote, anything is possible for PJ.

Slow as a wet week over 10-20 yards, but he has enormous power in his legs and is actually very quick over 100m. As was Jeff White.

In football however- 100 metre sprint times are completely irrelevant! Just interesting to note!

 

[eliasd82]

Last year it was Stefan Martin and he came really close to winning!

 

[melbournemartin]

Stephen Hill and Andrew Walker would be my tips.

Go Colin!!!

It all depends on what the handicaps are really

 

[Surkin]

No handicaps. Wade Thompson by a mile.

 

[brock sylvia]

Taylor Hunt is a jet, but Wade Thompson or Hil for me.

 

[daics_35]

Brad Dick would have to fall over to not win

Wade Thompson is called the bullet for a reason, word is he has a sub 11 hundred

 

[WattsGoodForYou]

Scott Chisolm also had a sub 11 100m.

 

[melbournemartin]

Are there really no handicaps? With handicaps, Sylvia could be a Fevola-like chance because I can't imagine him being handicapped too much.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Would be great if Col was able to win, but there's probably not much chance of that...

 

[Andy_Mac]

spewing we didn't put Watts up for a run. Nic Nat v Watts. The punters on the Bay would have loved it.

Col is going to get owned! Wade Thompson has this won!!

 

[Tulip]

doesn't Martin do it generally?
