Maurice Rioli's immense speed will be on display at the AFL Grand Final, when he takes part in the traditional Telstra Half-Time Sprint.

Rioli is coming off a strong season with the Tigers, where his relentless forward pressure became a staple in the senior side throughout the second half of the campaign. His trademark chase-down tackles are evidence of his dashing pace, which will be on display on Saturday afternoon.

The iconic 100m dash across the MCG turf will see seven participants from AFL Clubs come up against Olympic medallist and international boxer Harry Garside.
