2018 Rd 7: Post Game Platitudes: Carlton vs Adelaide

[malo]

I've found myself thinking (and saying) he's too slow to make it. Then I think of Jobe Watson. He fashioned himself into a midfielder and he certainly wasn't quick. He had Greg Williams as a mentor too...

Yep exactly, this "too slow" claptrap has been around for years, ....and has been disproven time & time again by natural footballers who know where to go & what to do with the ball.....all the while those speedy players are still chasing the ball movement.  Sam Mitchell is another example, he just got the ball & used it so well that it was the ball that was doing the "running & carrying" instead of his feet !

I think back to our 95 side even, it was "too old, too slow" when we crashed out in straight sets in 94....full of slow midfielders like Williams, Fraser Brown, Ratts......hmmmm.
