Highest Vertical leap?

[thegame]

Peterson does not have a 150cm vertical leap

 

[Bluegene]

This bloke is 5'7 (170cm) and he has a 120cm vertical leap

He's also a shit player!... If you can't start for the Knicks you're in trouble
Besides look at the leap of Spud Webb.. He'd make Nate Robinson look like Shaq

Back to Footy.. Trent Croad has the record doesn't he? From watching games though surely Robbo would have to have a great one

 

[carltonlover3]

yeah no joke i dont think thats physically impossible without being on some sourt of performance enhancers.

 

[MagpieGirl_13]

.

No.

Yes he could probably jump high enough to tap the other blokes on the knees

What? not high enough for you?
I beg to differ.....

 

[Heropsychodreamer]

Not a footballer, but i've seen a samoan volleyballer do 115cm... damn... min is 90cm, which i thinks decent, but he just stayed in the air.

For afl, i know croad had about 90odd i think. I cant remember who, but a recent aboriginal draftee, past fee yrs, got over 100cm

 

[melbourne150]

Jeff White would have to have one of the biggest vertical leaps wouldn't he?? Robertson would also be up there....And Weetra does have a huge vertical leap!!(Also killed it in the intra club today)....Newton seems to have a big leap

These are some of the contenders from melbourne

Is he the guy in the WAFL that took a huge hanger in the goal square last year?

Wait till Ryder starts jumping straight over the top of ruckman......

Shaun Hampson

What he's doing is easy, just run up and set your self on a guys shoulders, thats not a great vertical leap even i can do that and my knees are shot

He's a good Bullcreek-Leeming boy.

Started footy at about 16 or 17 from memory

How old would he be these days?

 

[DarwinRoo]

People do realise that vertical leap is taken from a standing start and not a 20 metre run up.

 

[hellfire]

.

No.

Yes.

He has a very big vertical leap. That's why he so often outmarks bigger players... and takes massive hangers.

Not saying he has the biggest leap... but he is up there.

 

[The Saintsational Man]

Carl Peterson who was cut by richmond last year had a vertical jump of 150cm

and Goudis who was drafted this year jumps 101cm

Buddy I'd believe 101cm, cause thats not so rare. In inches it works out to be around 40.....which for australian standards is awesome.....you'd struggle to know any1 that can launch that high.

But 150cm is around 60 inches and i don't mean to call u a teller of lies, but think about this, MJ had a 42 inch standing vertical.....Vince Carter the same.....A Harlem Globe Trotter, Michael Wilson, has a 60 inch leap frog on him and hes a freak show.....so basically your talkin about maybe 5 people in the world that can jump that high......and a "CUT" afl player had those attributes.....

TRUST ME.....if he did we woulda heard about them.....

 

[The Saintsational Man]

This bloke is 5'7 (170cm) and he has a 120cm vertical leap

It's 110 dude.....around 43 inches but close enough.....at least your not claiming 150 like that other bloke!!!

 

[Deep Blue]

Shaun Hampson (definiton of spring-heeled jack, and a big one at that) - watch this guy: came to the game late, but starting to hit his straps - Ratts has given him confidence and he's started to blossom. This guy proves that "White men can jump"! Brennan would have to be up there as well.

Paul Mugumbwa

if anyone has seen him play, then they know what i am talking about

Oh god yes

Anyways im hearing soo much shit in this thread,

100cm is pretty amazing from a STANDING jump, a verticle leap is technically a one step jump, and Croad set the record at draft camp at 84cm, which is pretty impressive
Anyone saying any AFL player was doing over 90 on a standing verticle leap ild say their full of shit.

As someone said, I think Spud Webb from the NBA had the record for the NBA draft camp in the standing verticle leap, but he was a bit of a dud

I Think people dont understand the difference from a Running Verticle leap and a standing verticle leap, the best running verticle leap would be jarrod brennan who had 103cm in the draft camp

 

[kane249]

How old would he be these days?

He's about 25-26 these days

 

[Upgrayedd]

He's about 25-26 these days

Also looks like he likes a feed
which kinda makes the jumps more impressive

Sean Rusling

 

[The Big League]

I think Ashley Sampi would be pretty close.

 

[Bollox]

I can jump right over my miniature schnauzer's kennell...and thats without much of a run up.

Don't let your obvious talent go to waste, put in the hard yards and before you know it you could be jumping over the thorn covered rose bush in the backyard.

Been there done that...U12's i played a ground where all the tuff kids jumped a line of twiggy rose bushes between the sheds and the ground.

I got to say i rarely ever played with cuts...and noone ever had the guts to slap any dencorub on my balls in the showers either.

I was a grommet legend ...lived life on the edge and invented "Xtreme" Footy. Most kids would be in awe of the risks i took playing footy.

They write songs and poems about me these days.
