Interesting Shuttle run results

I was doing a search in the drafting forum and stumbled across this.

Interesting to see Dysons results as compared to Stanton.

I would have guess that Stanton would have blitzed him.

Yeah it could come down to how they felt or ran on the day. 14.7 and 14.2 are very similar scores. If you tested it a week later and their scores were reversed it wouldn't be that surprising. Basically if you run over 14 you are a very very fit. In the elite for AFL. Level 15 is phenomenal.

Stants had also had some injuries had he not?

just a casual 14.5

When I was in year 8, the elite guys (swimmers, runners etc) were getting around 15. But for a footballer 15 is a good score.

Those stats just show how little being an athlete has to do with playing good footy.

Tom Rischbieth
Travis Casserley
Robert Eddy
Andrew McQualter
Tom Logan
Daniel McConnell

Nice that they can run.......nicer if they could actually play!

Whatever happened to this guy - Tom Rischbieth?

I recall them saying he was one of the best athletes out there. Is he still playing somewhere?

Rookied by Port (or the Crows) and delisted after one year I think.

Rookied by Port (or the Crows) and delisted after one year I think.

Yep, from what I've heard he was all run but had didn't have the ability to get to the right spots enough and his skill level wasn't great under pressure.

His beep tets result was probably the only reason Port rookied him, but then again, they drafted a rookie pretty much on his running ability a few years ago by the name of Danyle Pearce. He goes alright.
