Collingwood and Port Adelaide are the best two midfield teams this year. Neither teams have particularly large midfielders and both have outperformed bigger-bodied midfield teams like Carlton, Geelong, Melbourne, Gold Coast, and Western Bulldogs on average.
One thing they have over the listed teams is speed. They both just blitz from defence to the forward line without the opposition being able to set up defensively.
The question is, did midfield speed become a more important factor in the modern game than midfield size this year?
