Breaking Down Lewis Jetta's Goal of the Year

I am a Swans supporter and being a Swans supporter means I have a man crush on Lewis Jetta so it is no surprise I almost made number 2's after this goal Friday night against the dirty Pies:

Here's my quick breakdown of the run and goal.

Distance

Then length of ANZ Stadium is 159.5m according to this: http://www.afl.com.au/fixture/aflvenues/newsouthwalesact/tabid/13534/default.aspx

With the 50m line obviously being 50m long, the center square being the standard 45m long then that means that the space between the 50m and center square line is 14.5m in total or 7.25m each end.

He receives the ball and starts his run about 5m from the center half back line and kicks the ball for goal from about the top of the goal square which is 9m from the goal.

Distance Covered: 88 - 89m

Time

By using my iPhone clock I timed from when he received the ball until he kicked it at 10.5secs which he did while completing 3 bounces (for a 90m run??) and 5 or 6 look backs (god knows why, who was gonna run him down?).

By comparison Josh Ross ran Australia's fastest 100m sprint in 10.23secs.

Steps

It's pretty hard to see but form what I can count and keeping with the cadence of the steps that you can actually see, I have Jetta down for 32 - 34 steps for his 90m run. That averages out to 2.70m per steps at 33 steps. Usain Bolt takes 41 steps for his 100m races at an average of 2.44m per step.
