Unfortunately gazza Ablett and most his AFL colleagues just aren't conditioned for it. It's pretty basic knowledge the rugby league speedsters are bounds ahead of their AFL counterparts. They're also stronger, tougher, more agile etc. swines you agree yet buddyo?

you clearly have no idea, but still try and convince every one to come around to your way of thinking and argue about ot tp the death Eliagh, to full fill your own & fellow bed wetting virgin mates insecure needs
the only thing the NRL player would be burning is the chafing between his fat thighs
NRL players are burst players, sprint 20 to 30 meters not where near endurance athletes,
Abblett is an elite endurance athlete who is not known for his speed,
dangerfield is the quickest player in the league and runs the 100m in the low 10s
Lewis jetta isnt even the fastest player on the swans list and it has olympic sprint coach Hayden Knowels in awe,
Sydney Swans flyer Lewis Jetta could have been an Olympic sprinter, sprint coach Hayden Knowles says
As the sprint and conditioning coach who worked with NRL flyer Jarryd Hayne at Parramatta, Hayden Knowles knows the sort of speeds that fast footballers can clock.
Knowles is the man who helped organise a 2010 cross-code sprint involving the likes of Wallaby Lachie Turner and Eels superstar Hayne, and works with a host of Olympic hopefuls under his Athletic Allstars banner.
He's desperate to find Australia's next great sprinter, looking to make amends for the fact so much talent is funnelled into the AFL and NRL.
Talent like Sydney livewire Lewis Jetta, who showcased his sprint skills once again in last Friday night's preliminary final with an incredible running goal.
The 23-year-old bolted over 80m in approximately 10.7 seconds while bouncing the ball three times.
Knowles was in awe, but not surprised.
"I wanted him in my cross-code fastest footballer race a couple of years back, but it wasn't possible," he said ahead of Saturday's grand final.
