Title: Wallace's - need for speed
Post by: davemills81 on December 22, 2005, 06:33:20 PM
I have heard a lot about Wallace's need for speed - well I noticed an interesting stat coming from the testing at last years draft camp .. there were 4 RFC players in the top 10 running vertical jumps as well ...  here's the list

Running vertical jump
Danyle Pearce (Sturt) - 96cm
Chris Egan (Murray Bushrangers) - 94cm
Richard Tambling (Southern Districts) - 93cm
Brett Deledio (Murray Bushrangers) - 92cm
Dean Limbach (Calder Cannons) - 90cm
Tom Williams (Morningside) - 87cm
Danny Meyer (Glenelg) - 87cm
Chad Gibson (Norwood) - 86cm
Damien McCormack (Dandenong Stingrays) - 84cm
Ryan Willitts (Northern Knights) - 83cm

Wallace doesn't just want speed, he wants all forms of atheticism.

From last year, Polo and Pattison were top 10 for stamina tests i think!

Graham was in top 10 for verticle jump I beleive. Not bad for such a big (200.3cm) bastard.

I thought that Willits wasn't an athletic player

Just because you can jump, doesn't mean your not a fat stuff!

He might just have really long arms compared to some of those other guys!

Willits is related to a friend of mind, and geez, he is big, about as tall as Patto, but far more developed physically

You're right CB for the standing vertical jump:

Angus Graham (Calder Cannons) - 65cm (10th)

In 2004: Lids achieved 68cm (4th), Tambling 66cm (8th) and Limbach 65cm (10th).
