Who is running in the Grand Final Sprint? - Houli [updated]

[lamington]

would love to see danger v Lids, v Yarran v White

That would be great. For selfish reasons though I'd like to keep the exact details of Lids speed (like how fast he can clear 100m) a secret because surely it'd be of some worth to opposition analysts?

But from a pure spectacle point of view a Jetta, Danger, Lids, Yarran, White sprint would be awesome. Throw in Cyril if he doesn't get selected.

As "quick" as they may be, tipping Deledio & Dangerfield would be the backmarkers in that race ...and by some considerable margin too....

Gary Rohan ?

[tigs2011]

Rohan is lightning. Matty White would be still passing the half way mark as he finishes.

perhaps, but knowing how fast someone is and then being able to better it is another story

A few years back I heard lids was a very low 11's 100metre. He's got jetta, yarran, Rohan, Cyril and White covered imo.

[The Machine]

Defiantly got White covered. A few years ago at Punt Rd at the end of training a 100m race including Lids, White, King and Foley was conducted, Lids done it easy...

Houli??  Obviously the only player on our list that hasn't hit the turps since the Elim Final.

There's no bluechip speedsters this year! What a crock! Surely Geelong could've at least put Blicavs on the table for a sprint. Or Port could've sent Jake Neade?

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Houli to win by a beards length!

[cub]

why bother?

[YellowandBlackBlood]
