My problem with him rucking is it wears him down over time.
He was shattered by the end of last season....and took some time to get going this year.
On the weekend he had a spring in his jump and looked fresh.
I'm not sure about his pace...we consider him to be slow, but one of the footy shows last night showed him gut running a long distance and running away from his Hawthorn opponent at the end.
I suspect if there's an issue with his pace it's more to do with initial reaction and acceleration over the first 5-10 metres.
