Who is our quickest player?

There's an article in the Age today about the 'Need for Speed' in modern footy.

The need for speed
Rohan Connolly | March 29, 2008

...there's already one conclusion about this year, and perhaps the several following it, which seems incontrovertible.

That the footy we watch is going to be quick.

Bloody quick.

In a game which can veer from fad to fad, speed is becoming a constant premium, AFL football's "new black".

Everyone's doing it, everyone's talking about it.

Not just leg speed, but speed of ball movement, speed of decisionmaking.

And the ante continues to be upped.

In the spiel about Richmond it says Foley, Deledio and Tambling are our quicks with us using McMahon and Kingy to improve our speed.

So who do you ppls think is our quickest Tiger taking into account leg speed, speed of ball movement and speed of decision making?

Edwards also satisfies our need for speed. Jacko has a bit of toe but behind the others, JON but struggles to play...

[Ox]

Chasing speed - newman,Tambo

Ball running speed - Lids,Axl

Lines of speed - Suga

lids is our fastest, then moore, then between tambo and jon. thats just leg speed.

footy speed would be newmo, foley, kingy, mcmahon.

Don`t know about decision making but Kingy did win the Grand Final sprint last year.

[{X}]

over what distance

10 m
20m
30m
50m
100m
200m
400m

over repeat efforts or just one sprint

[Stripes]

What about Gourdis?

[bluey_21]

Lids comfortably over any distance up to 100m

[Hellenic Tiger]

Kingy is quickest in my view
Lids a close second, Edwards Tambo also.
Newman I feel has slowed abit since his broken leg.
Thursfield also able to keep up with fast leading forwards.
Foley also has good accellaration.
Connors is quick also. Remember his sprinting goal with 3 bounces in the VFL finals
last year.
Even Matty White remember him sprinting off the ground last year at the Dome?
Some speedy customers who are able to use the ball well which is a bonus for us.

Foley and Kingy are the quickest with the ball IMO. They can hold their speed while bouncing the ball with their lower sense of gravity. Browny is probably quickest in the mind and footy smarts. Tambo showed last week he has quick closing speed chasing as Ox said.

[Judge Roughneck]

White is blody quick.

[Sumatran TIger]

White is the quickest....
with and without the footy....
under pressure or chasing....
at 20m, 50m, 100m, or 3km.....
in the 1st quarter or late in the last....
to the bench or out of defence and deep into our fifty.

Geez, I wish I had a lower sense of gravity, maybe I could fly to the footy, instead of having to catch an airliner.

ahh i knew there was a reason why i couldnt run fast and bounce at the same time
