Having pace, smart players, or well drilled and motivated slower players, won't help you when the chases don't happen.
Good AFL teams only need one opponent running forward and not chasing for the flood gates to open up, we've offered most teams way more than one of those options each week. I won't name them, you all have your favorites!
It has nothing to do with pace, stamina or strength, it is all about attitude.
