Surely Dan Menzel after 15 knee reco's isn't that fast??

[1965]

Can someone tell me who is responsible for recruiting this lot.

Obvious bs

[lamington]

I have never seen Harry Taylor run and burst through the lines this list is just wacky.

Ed Sheeran is very quick no surprises there. I am surprised Adam Saad didn't make the list because going for a run and bounce is his bread/butter

[dwaino]

Ease up ladies, it's not definitive. It's just based on GPS data from the last week or two. Obviously players like Butler didn't hit top speed when the info was taken.

[Simonator]

I think butler is quick but I'm not sure about his top speed, I reckon menadues top speed would be faster. And riolia, butler seems to take very small steps, Rioli strides much better

[The Machine]

Agreed - Butlers takes fast little steps as Menadue strides out at top speed. 

[the claw]

would have thought Callum Moore would be way up there and Markov at our club at least.

I know our four mentioned are young and are developing but one thing for sure, if they dont develop and dont learn to find more ball in the long run having top end speed wont help us or them, you need the ball in hand to use that speed,  unless that is you are content with glass half fulls where we get just defensive speed and effort.

This information is taken from GPS data from actual games like they do in the NFL. That's why butler wasn't there and some of the others. Most likely it was taken from one round only so not a great sample but what it does show is that we have quite a good number of very quick runners on our list.

agree but those runners cant get their hands on the ball enough. IF we are honest that goes with the actual type of player they are.
