We do lack speed in a couple of areas. Our centre square mids such as Fyfe, Mundy, Neale and even up and comers like Cerra are not quick. They’re not great at running oposition players down. We lack small forwards with speed and this is what nearly every top team has. Switkowski may be an exception but Ballantyne has lost pace and Crowden, Giro and Matera aren’t super quick.
But more than speed we lack height amongst midfielders. Our mids a few years ago such as Barlow, Fyfe, Mundy and Crowley were so imposing then we started recruiting smalls. Giro, Crowden, Switkowski might become good players but can’t see how they can be in the same side when we also have Walters, Ballas, B. Hill and even Langdon plus Matera in reserve. It’s a bit late but we do need big bodied speedy midfielders.
