Is this assertion about Leigh Fisher's pace based on fact or something someone overheard in a bar after having a pint or ten?
I have read post after post on here for years stating that Fish's main problem at AFL level is that he is too slow.
Personally, I always thought he has had reasonable pace, although I never saw him as being lightning fast. But I know that it's hard to judge these things (eg, Clinton Jones looks to me as if he runs up and down on the one spot, but many others on here see him as a speedster: possibly because he has blonde hair).
I appreciate that the precisely results of sprint tests are probably something the club doesn't want to broadcast too widely, but it would sure be interesting to hear some facts.

Ahem..he won a 3km time trial. last time I watched the Olympics the "fastest men on Earth" ran over 100m 
All we can ascertain from this is Fish has good endurance. Many AFL players will run that distance in a quarter..but raraly wearing runners and all in the one direction

Hope he has lost his P plates and can now drive at the same speed as the rest of the traffic.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
