One of the things we've been criticised for this year is a lack of pace in our midfield but if you look at Sydney they don't have pace and it doesn't seem to be of any concern for them. They were tipped(along with us) to fall down the ladder this year but so far have looked very good.
Kennedy,Jack,Hannaberry,Parker,Cunningham and Mitchell to a lesser degree don't have pace, similar to us. Our midfield seems to have stagnated and are not the force we were a couple of years ago. Other clubs seem stronger in this area than we are now. Considering the amount of midfielders we've drafted this is rather annoying.
