Running men: Keeping track of your club's speedsters

WHO RACKS up the most kilometres in a game at your club?
Who's hit the highest speed in a sprint?
It's not always who you might think.

Data from the Telstra Tracker in the AFL Live app reveals some familiar faces at the top of club lists, and plenty of surprise leaders in both the distance and speed categories.

Richmond

Team distance:
2536.9kms

Distance kings
1. Kane Lambert 15.1km
2. Brandon Ellis 14.7km
3. Alex Rance 13.7km

Lambert is known as the fittest Tiger so it's no surprise he's top while Ellis won their 3km time trial earlier this year. Rance coming third is a testament to the key defender's enormous work rate.

Speedsters
1. Dan Butler 34.2km/h
2. Shane Edwards 34.0km/h
3. Jason Castagna 33.5km/h

Two mosquito fleet members feature here with Butler and Castagna renowned for their ability to chase down opponents and apply forward-half pressure while Edwards has long been described as having "electric" pace.

We could widen this to those posters who ran out of here pretty quick after our finals series last year, some new land speed records would be set.
