[SouthSwans]

SydneySwans.com.au 3:35 PM Wed 22 Sep, 2010
Unfortunately he won’t be playing in the big game, but exciting Sydney Swans player Lewis Jetta will be lighting up the MCG on Grand Final day.

Among Jetta’s competition in the sprint will be noted speedsters, Danyle Pearce from Port Adelaide and Ben Nason from Richmond.

We're obviously tanking the GF Sprint this year. If it were a 15km time trial I'd back Nason but not a 100m.

 

[bigpapagman]

King. Or Deledio. Or Matty White. Any of our winners.

Or Robbie Hicks.

 

[copthat]

He's going to get smashed.

 

[PUNTROADHAMMER]

He's going to get smashed.

Me too...

 

[mad_doggy911]

Agree. He's not even quick.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

I don't think he'll get smashed but he wont win.

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

No chance, wrong colour and not aerodynamic enough.....my money will be on Jetta.

 

[THE_GUN]

our quickest player is hicks, i wonder why he isnt competeing

 

[tucker777]

Jake King isn't being allowed to "shit it in" this year?

For shame.....

 

[McGun]

Interesting wounder why we choose Nason?

Interesting wounder why we choose Nason?

A pure marketing move. The hair, the youngish age, the type of game he plays, the Second chance story. If he tastes any success with Richmond it will all relate back!

 

[mcuzzy]

Pearce and Jetta for the photo finish

 

[RangaInTeal]

Pearce aint that quick over 100, if it was a 200 or 400 he would be a better chance, Wade Thompson is Ports quickest but there are question marks over his future!

Isn't Usain Bolt still in the country, could we sweet talk him into a light stroll?

 

[Spluff]

Should have picked the Goo.

He's sponsored by Gatorade so no chance

Those reasons may be why we drafted him, but still don't explain why we picked him for the grand final sprint. Gourdis or Hicks would have been better options out of the guys who haven't already had a run.

 

[Equus]

Nason will win it because Nason is the PREDATOR!!!!

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

Nason will win it because Nason is the PREDATOR!!!!

I thought that was Dennis Ferguson, he's too old to be in the sprint

 

[Dustin Credible]

stupid question time.

Does anyone know how the sprint is viewed by the players?

a bit of a joke? a reward for a junior player? a proper contest?

 

[captain blood 17]

Well we got this wrong. Andy Collins with 14 wet towels balanced on the tackle should have been the go. Nothing else on, just the towels. No chance to win this now.

 

[ScallyWag1]

Nason will win it because Nason is the PREDATOR!!!!

i think you mean stevie milne

 

[enTYSd]

This had made the GF exciting for me again, was going to be purely focused on watching Lenny kill the Pies. But now my boy is racing! As long as he makes the final 8 he has done enough.

 

[LiverpoolRed]

Don't they have handicaps?? Was it Fev who won it once from the max handicap?? I recall a sock stuff in his jocks. Or am I on drugs??

 

[Cutty]

That drag factor coming off his mop won't help him any!

Should be good to watch though lol
