Fastest 100 Metre Runner In the AFL OAT

[boncer34]

Barry Besanko played a few games for Essendon around 1980 after a very good career as a national level sprinter. Would have them all covered.

10.4 100m is quick.

Austin Robertson Senior was a world champion 100m runner.

 

[GastevsBeard]

Wojcinski
Deledio
Danger (young version)

Had serious wheels

 

[Igavemyloveachicken]

BlackJack was quick but didnt know how to use it.

One of the better nicknames I've heard.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Petruccelle is fast, wonder what he’d clock.

I reckon McCreery would be our fastest along with Crisp.

Never thought of Crisp as fast until that recent final where Frederick couldn't catch him

Paul Williams very early in his career had some jets

Has to be Gary Ablett snr though, no one ever caught him

 

[Hamingja]

Wojcinski
Deledio
Danger (young version)

Had serious wheels

I've never seen anyone run from end of the ground to the other as quickly as Aaron Davey. I remember seeing him just zip down the ground one day and thinking he could've legitimately been a professional sprinter.

With a football and evading tacklers guys like Wojcinski and Davey were lightning.

A flat out 100m sprint is a completely different beast. Someone like Danger with more power would be more suited to that.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Probably not 100 but Andrew McLeod would have flown at 400.

Max Holmes well under 50sec for 400m and a smidge over 11sec for 100m as a junior.

 

[MisterB]

Wasn't Ben Cousins quick at running away too?

 

[craffles]

Wasn't there some dude on north Melbourne or collingwoods list from the US for a while that was a tall as **** sprinter. Shae McNamara or Eric Wallace? Or am I making shit up

 

[jasonrampage2010]

Madden on our list

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Running?

Bloke did a complete triathlon including the swim leg.

Hawthorns Geoff Ablett won the GF sprint 4 times.

When Gary joined Hawthorn he beat his older brother by 3m over 100m.

I'm old enough to remenber Geoff Ablett, he was fast but just shows what Gary Ablett Sr was. Ricky Barham from Collingwood was super quick aswell

won a couple of gf sprints, one by a lot.
He had serious wheels

On SM-G960F using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Pretty much any FF from 1980 to 1990.
Sure, they'd be exhausted after 1 sprint, but they'd nail that 100m

 

[Goggin Our Best]

To watch some AFL in Sydney - i use to go to some of the Swans games at the SCG - this is say 25-30 years ago

And they had this little rover bloke - he might have been Indian or Pakistani - and the Swans supporters use to call him - Speedy Gonzales

[The Cryptkeeper]

Sean Rusling was running elite times in the 100m as a young lad .

Yeah, I remember he was supposed to be very quick.

Simon Tregenza was lightning, for those who remember him.
