If a team is physically slow;

AFL clubs have to get the balance right or the game is lost at the selection table, a bias is created.
I generally agree. Too many folks use Diesel and Sam Mitchell as examples, but they are once in a generation players. The average tortoise doesn't have the ability / skill / footy brain to get away with lack of pace like those blokes.
