Then there are blokes like Leigh Matthews, Gary Ablett Snr, Greg Williams and Sam Mitchell, a different ruler is needed to measure their performance!
Can Cripps get there, it doesn't seem impossible?
Fans expecting to rest of our plodders to make up for their lack of pure speed by playing like Lethal seems a tad unreasonable! I think this aspect of making us competitive is Teague's biggest test.
No one - giants aside perhaps - are slow....at senior AFL level.
Chuck, Harry, the Guv - pretty darn quick. Usain Bolt is 195cm (height not the inhibiting factor)
The gap between the Philps and the 'hacks' at the combine is perhaps 0.3 seconds over 20m.
And that's straight, point to point uninhibited speed.
A smart footy brain. one that can anticipate, covers that off easily.
Knowing and/or working out (learning) when to go - and where to go - far more telling.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
