He just glides across the field.
 
Can’t argue with that. Must’ve started his run in the oppo goal square ;) his first 15 is treacle and I will not be swayed
 
Even though our top 5 players on this list are below the average numbers posted by others clubs, I wonder if you averaged out how players move on the field if we’d be the “fastest“ overall team on some measure. It seems like it.

I knew Graham was meant to be fast based on his pre-draft pace, but didn’t think he was that fast. I guess it’s a similar illusion to Dusty in his early years when Dermie said he looked like becoming a waddler due to his body type.

It’s funny how these numbers don’t always match the naked eye.

Either we’ve got better depth of pace compared to other clubs or the coaching group is just really good at knowing how to use it
 
its almost like they mixed up the players GPS'

As much as i admire him as a player , i would never have put Jack as being that quick
 
While I'm a bit surprised to see Fridge on that list, I have noticed him make a couple of good chase down tackles.
Looks to have dropped a couple of kg's too, which would help.

I call *smile* on those stats. Some players can explode at top pace others take 20 metres to wind up.

Note from the statistics, that very few instances of "fastest efforts" are recorded by opponents in Richmond games.
Pressure, we hunt.
Night matches, bigger atmosphere and evening dew.
Wet track!
 
I'm the same, although I can still get a gallop up out when I'm busting for a pee.
??? bloody hell. I struggle to walk when I'm busting for a pee, to worried about unfortunate leakage. Bloody old fart prostate.
