" I'm curious how you think a 28 year old with no pace and average at best kicking ability fits into that mould. I understand the sentiment, but that doesn't win games or flags."
Kicking ability may be better but a lack of pace was enough to win Mitchell, Lewis and Hodge three flags at Hawthorn into their 30s, not just 28!
Sydney's midfield certainly doesn't rely on pace and aren't elite kicks.
Lachine Neale lacks pace, gets a heap of the ball but his disposal isn't the best.
I'd be happy to stick with a guy like Barlow who regularly gets the ball around 30 odd times a game, has great awareness and good hands than someone like Sheridan who would get it half as much and still turn it over.
