Running men: Who's your club's endurance king?

RICHMOND

Kane Lambert is regarded as the fittest player at Tigerland, but he was beaten to the line in the Tigers' 3km time trial by teammate Brandon Ellis. After an excellent season in defence in 2018, Ellis is doing everything required to improve again and has found a perfect balance with his strength and running ability. Draftee Jack Higgins finished third overall in a sign that he will be pushing for immediate opportunities, while small forward Shai Bolton and premiership hero Jack Graham set personal best times.

Previous stars: Tagger Dan Jackson built his game around discipline and he was a standout runner over many pre-seasons. He built a rivalry with speedster Matt White, with the pair going head-to-head as their time at Richmond crossed over between 2006-13.

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
