Title: Is Lewis Jetta the fastest in the AFL?
Post by: meow meow on October 10, 2012, 01:46:40 AM
Is anyone quicker than this guy over 50 metres? Cyril can't keep up. Dangerfield can't touch him.

Alan Toovey would be in with a shot. Caolan Mooney might push him. Tim Golds is lightening.

Who is the number 1 challenger? My vote would be this guy. He's not even going at full speed and he burns everyone off:

I think Danger and Cyril would be 2nd and 3rd to Jetta

your kidding about Tambling right? he got the ball a few meters ahead of anyone running behind him and he did not exactly run a great distance

besides that it was over 3 years ago

Well Joel Wilkinson has the record at the draft combine for fastest 20m sprint time...

Yarran or Garlett would be close

Rumours out of Sydney suggest Rohan could give him a run for his money,excuse the pun.

Well at first I thought the same but review it, he starts on the half back flank and quite frankly its pretty quick. But your right it is 2009 and this year he played a fair bit in the SANFL.

What about buddy? Or does he take too long to warm up, probably win over 200-400m...

Dangerfield has already beaten Jetta over 100m in the grand final sprint from last year.  Stephen Hill was also in that race and was leading by the 50m mark - he gets up to speed very very quickly but his top speed isnt the same as Danger and Jetta

Over 100m
Dangerfield
Jetta

Over 50m
Hill
Dangerfield

Post by: CrowsFan on October 10, 2012, 12:24:31 PM
Hill wasn't in that race valk ???
Just watched it on youtube and Dangerfield was leading the entire race except for possibly the first 10-15m where Joel Wilkinson was ahead. Tim Golds came second followed by Wilkinson and Jetta equal third. Jetta was never near the front of the pack.

Thats the one.  As I was saying, Hill is gets to top speed very very quickly but he doesnt have the best top speed in the league.  I still reckon Dangerfield has a very fast top speed.

These are the draft combine results

Im pretty sure a bloke called Adam Saad has the record this year, no relation to Ahmed

Post by: Tominator on October 10, 2012, 01:43:46 PM
I reckon Dangerfield would be the non-fastest Aborginal player in the competition (Rioli is Tiwi but that group - amazing people - are classified as Aboriginal too) but Danger has won the Gillette GF Sprint back to back, and watching Rioli and Jetta go at it down the back flank in the GF was amazing

1) Jetta
2) Cyril
3) Dangerfield


Btw that is not meant to be racist in any way shape or form

Post by: meow meow on October 10, 2012, 01:59:00 PM
Caolan Mooney didn't go to the draft camp, but Collingwood tested him to see how he would compare to other draftees.

His time would have broken the 20 metre sprint record.

His time would have beaten the agility test record.

His running vertical leap would have beaten Naitanui and Brennan's record.

My money is on the Irish roadrunner.

Post by: quinny88 on October 10, 2012, 02:13:41 PM
It depends on a lot of variables.
quickest player over 20m, 50m, 100m... etc it would be a different person for every category.

Also being quick running in a straight line like dangerfield or zig zagging around everyone like Cyril or Yarran. Plus the factor of having the ball in your hand bouncing, or chasing can change that.

All I know is that the guy I like to watch take off with the pill in his hand the most is Lewis Jetta and im yet to see anyone lay a glove on him

Maybe a bit biased but Jiosh Green has a blistering turn of speed as well.  Was displayed in games for the Lions when he outpaced defenders after getting the ball on the forward flanks.

Lol nice with Tambling haha.

Jetta looked shower in the Grand Final Sprint last year.

Cyril struggled to catch him because he was getting shepparded half the run.

When he ran Danger down, he obviously wasn't that tired and hadn't done enough hard work, on the other hand Danger was flowered and just didn't have enough in the tank. Likewise when Danger couldn't catch him. Once again he was flowered and Jetta is an outside player so he has 2 runs a game and does not break a sweat so he can run full pace, whereas, Danger has worked hard all game and then is still almost able to match him. If they were both 100% fresh, Danger would flower up Jetta any day of the week and this how it is. Danger was working harder that game and was more fatigued so that is why Jetta was able to outrun him.

+1 I totally agree with you, I remember that day, danger was getting crunched every time he tried to escape the pack

1. Dangerfield
2. Jetta
3. Rohan

Where do you come up with this shower?  ::)

Cyril was barley shepparded out at all... Jetta had the ball in hand, was bouncing and he was still quicker than Rioli.

Honestly, that bolded bit is the stupidest thing I've ever read... ever. Just because he only has a couple of runs with the ball, the amount of work that every player does on the ground is immense. To say he doesn't break a sweat is ludicris.

I think Rohan is faster than Jetta, and would give Danger a run for his money... all faster than Cyril

It is always hard to judge from a footy game, the person carrying the ball will always be hampered in speed, trying to bounce, thinking of where/when to kick, where as the person chasing only has one thing on his mind, get there as fast as he can.

Would be a good 100m race to watch!

Ive heard rumours to this aswell, for now my moneys on Danger. Be good to see Rohan get back to full fitness have a contest in a game with Danger or at the least have a run in the 2013 GF sprint but i doubt that will occur as the Crows will be in the GF. ::)

I just watched the 2011 one... jetta got a really really bad start, like normally he's blistering out of the blocks... imo, I think the '19 behinds before he got a goal' comment shook him lol.

Nah just in general I would guess that there would be.

No ones gona say hes the quickest though because we dont see him do it. Im guessing there would be guys like this at every club

Just watch the 2011 sprint, Reckon Jetta has at least another 5 mtrs in him now, didnt run that race very well.
