I think people are mistaking breakaway with speed. You don't need to be fast, Petracca wasn't faster than many others, he read the ball better and put his body in the right position to run. Much like Kennedy running through the North Melbournes midfield, it wasn't speed, but elite body positioning.
I thought Petracca was cleaner and faster above the shoulder than any other mid, but he's wasnt faster through leg speed.
