Gary Rohan has been dethroned as the AFL's fastest player.

Rohan had clocked the fastest speed in any game this season, according to the AFL app, hitting 35.3 kilometres per hour against Melbourne in round 15.

He managed to hit the same top speed against GWS, too.

But it's not enough to secure his spot.

Both Fremantle defender Ethan Hughes and Brisbane young gun Eric Hipwood managed to clock in even quicker.

Hipwood took top spot with a searing 35.7 km/h against Geelong two weeks ago.

He takes first place over Hughes, who was pipped, hitting 35.6 km/h against West Coast last Sunday.

Collingwood winger Will Hoskin-Elliott also slipped into the top five in round 17.

The race is heating up!
