Which players would be playing for a Gold Medal right now if this was an Olympic Sport?

[MagpieGirl_13]

Sean Rusling would be a sprinter.
He actually gave up a sprinting career to play AFL, & he's bloody quick!

EDIT: This was for the thread entitled "AFL players who might have been Olympians"

Nah it wouldn't be the AA team, look at the US basketball team...sure its full of guns but there is no way that they are the best NBA players from 2008.

Lebron James and Kobe Bryant are the best

Re: AFL players who might have been Olympians

Quite a number of current AFL players gave up another sport in order to play AFL.

It made me wonder which ones would have made it in their other sport at the Olympics?

Athletics - sprint and long distance - think there would be a couple.

Volleyball - probably a couple (I'd even suggest Mitch Clark from Brisbane Lions)

Athletics - high jump - definitely

Rowing - probably

Kuto had the choice of being an athlete or AFL player he took afl, apparently he couldnt have represented ausrtalia in the hurdles and sprints

There are a couple of good basketballers playing afl that could've been playing but most likely not: Dean Brogan ext.
