Which player has the largest Weight to Height ratio?

[Lana]

As we get to that part of the year where footy news drops to a halt... this kind of topic is worthy of the mainboard

Its a good chance that its Josh Hunt 100kg/185 cm

0.54kg/cm

does any other player even come close?

 

[saint_larry]

Sandilands, 122 kgs, 211 cms, ratio of .58

 

[Fluro Boots]

Sandi. 122kgs 211cm tall. 0.58 kgs per cm

 

[vWestCoast]

Hunt is a massive unit. 100kg is ruckman size.

 

[lusheslewis]

BMI would be a better value to compare.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Seems fairly stupid to me that Hunt weighs so much. He would be faster if he was 10kg lighter.

 

[Scootyb]

Sandi is the beast of all beasts!

 

[Jentleman Geff]

BMI would be a better value to compare.

Indeed. Hunt would win that.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

BMI would be a better value to compare.

No it wouldnt because BMI is a crap stat that you can make say almost anything.

Dont think anyone on norths list can touch sandilands ratio.

In reverse though: Aaron Mullet is 184/73kg

0.396 kg/cm.

 

[WCErevival]

Lynch comes close to Hunt.

0.536kg/cm

103kg 192cm

 

[Scootyb]

Shane Mumford is 108 / 199 according to swans website
0.542 kg/cm

would love to know what it was at his bbq demolishing best

Seem to remember that Glenn Archer had a BMI that would have almost (technically) classed him as obese.

Of course, he wasn't obese, he was just a massive, massive unit.

Hunt is in the same category. He is one of those guys I can imagine stacking it on when he hangs up the boots though!

Hopefully not as bad as Stuey Dew has though! I saw him very close up at the Essendon v Sydney game this year.

Was not a pretty sight..

Same for boxer Iron Mike Tyson.... imagine in his hey day or maybe even still today calling him fat boy!!!!

If only we could find out who has the highest VO2 Max signature - arguably the single most important stat in determining fitness.

Good question, maybe Pendells? he seems extremely fit

Might come across as obvious, but Cadel Evans's is almost off the charts.

 

[saintsrfreak]

Is Hunt a little fat or is he just 100kg of muscle? Because if so that shit is ridiculous.

Yes, aerobic fitness. But not anaerobic fitness, muscular power/endurance, agility or speed. All neccessary for an elite AFL athlete.

Edit: and my money would be on swan

Everyone is wrong so far....no one has a weight of x kg's. They have a mass of x kg's.

But anyway... surely Sandilands would win this. .58 :0

From North, some big ones include:
Pedersen = 100kgs, 193cm = .52
Luke Delaney = 97, 194 = .5
Petrie = 102, 197 = .517

Grima, McIntosh and Firrito all also hit or go over the .5 mark.

If bored may attempt to go through the AFL, find out who has the biggest ratio, the biggest midfielder etc.

Could be interesting. Then couple that with VO2 max, 3km run, jump and sprint tests, would be able to find who are actually the best athletes.

On the other end of the scale:
Ben Mabon = 81, 200 = .405

 

[theyear2012]

travis Cloke 196cm 108kg

 

[Scotland]

Former South African prop Ollie le Roux is 182cm and 136kg.

Let's see him cross codes!

 

[JasRulz63]

Chris Dawes is 0.544 kg/cm.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

If we're including past players, what would the late Mick Nolan be.

194/124 are his measurements.

Also, what's the formula you've used to calculate this?

lol, weight divided by height

 

[legend166]

Jesse White, 0.54.

 

[Macca_]

I know he's not playing now, but Stuart Dew comes in at 0.59
