Usain bolt is in Australia. Maybe the mariners could field a runner too.

Absolute joke it not being exclusively AFL players. That is the whole point!
Nah, they play Australian Rules in a totally different competition to the AFL. Captain is spot on. May as well scrap it.

Personally I think no one gave a crap either way. Its a tradition based thing that most clubs throw in a junior player to run in. I bet few people could name the winner from last years sprint if asked and fewer any more than that. If you asked me , I would say - " I remember when Jetta ran in it one year for the swans and i think dangerfield once won it , but other than that dont really recall too much about it."
A couple of up and coming Australian Rules players (apologies to the purists for even calling them AFL players in my last post ) isn't going to change much but I concede it doesn't add anything to the event either.
The sprint is a nothing, but when your team isnt playing in the grand final, it gives you something to barack for when you have a sprint entrant.
Keep it to the clubs.
I satill remember the joy watching guys like Silvio Foschini, David Murphy, Daryl Vernon & Mark Bayes competing for us in the 80s. Grand Finals didn’t give Swans supporters much to cheer about back then (apart from our Brownlow Medalists doing a lap of honour). & I was pretty excited when Crouchy won it too.
