Strongest Player in the AFL

[Judge]

Look at the photo, he's doing half squats.

Yep you're right, just glanced at the photo the other day and didn't notice the height of the stool.

Rich would probably still have most mids covered for leg strength though, to the extent that's important.

 

[the distributer]

Swan does a fair bit, 155KG iirc, would make him one of the stronger Mids going around, fairly sure Cloke's the strongest at Collingwood ATM.


I'd put money on Jake (push up) King being able to lift a shitload as well.

 

[Paul Kersey]

2 of the 3 are listed as four reps though, not one rep max.

The 115kg guy deadlifting 185kg for one rep seems a little light for a 'strongman' though.

Still not good numbers.

I wonder what Goose McGuire is pumping out these days...he loves the weights

 

[BLPC08]

Record at the Swans is held by John Longmire and Horse didn't even have to use his arms.

Ok, but the thread was asking for the strongest player.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Would have thought guys like Cloke, Minson, Mumford, Merrett and Rutten would all be up there.

They all look like they hang out with Essendon's performance enhancing team.

Pound for pound, Robbie Nahas is probably the strongest in the AFL. Weighs around 65kg, and benches roughly 130kg. 2x his weight, ridiculous.

He's 75kg now. Mcguane can bench 160kg or more. I think he's our strongest

 

[It Just Is]

Surely pound for pound no one would out bench press 'the push up king'.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Just for comparison was watching Mike&Mike on ESPN the other day an they were talking about the NFL scouting combine and Jessie Williams the Aussie lad looking at getting drafted was looking at doing 50+ repeats of 102kgs in the bench press repeat test

Pound for pound, has to be the Ballantyne.

Despite technically being a different species (Hobbit), word around the Shire is that he can lift 120kg.

On the basis of his weight (39kg), Ballas is lifting the equivalent of 240-300 kegs (roughly the weight of a Uruk-hai or large Orc) compared to other man-sized players.

Must be all those potatoes...

 

[PieLebo87]

Pound for pound....


...sorry, I just felt like saying it..

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Has to be Majak!

Don't care what anyone says.

 

[roo beleaver]

Nic Naitanui could bench 130kgs as an 18 year old kid so he will eventually own this title

No, he will never be the strongest in the AFL. Doesn't have the build.

Thank you Nostradamus

 

[Paul Kersey]

Thank you Nostradamus

You have NFI.

 

[LukasTheGreat]

Jake Stringer can bench over 9000.

Jake Stringer can bench over 9000.

Grams?

 

[LukasTheGreat]

Grams?

Tonne, obviously.

 

[The Bomb]

Can't believe this bloke has not been mentioned.

Strong professional powerlifter...

 

[The Bomb]

Crameri was impressed.

 

[raymagoo]

Read bower & casboult used to do 180+ I think

 

[NUFC Tiger]

For a little bloke - The push up king packs a fair bit of strength. Also loves going for the biggest guy in any scuffle.
