Whenever Harry decides to 'run' and 'take guys on' i cringe to death. He gets caught 7/10 and is very lucky he's agile enough to twist out of trouble. I'd much rather he give it off to Marty or J-Mac.

Mick disagrees.

I dunno if you've noticed, but we always go to Harry from the kickouts. Mick has really focused on making Harry a rebounding defender. It was evident in the pre-season too. Mick was always doing some 1 on 1 work with him, making him run and spot up a target.

Speed in modern day football is over rated, really, how fast are Geelong.

Ask yourself that, and the obvious answer is, not that fast.

We do lack speed, but for StKilda to criticize us for lack of speed is just a joke, the reason we have such a good record against sides like Stkilda, Sydney and Adelaide is that all 3 have no more pace then we do.

We do struggle against young fast sides, but I didnt see too many of those young fast sides make the 8, and at my last count only the Doggies have made the 8 as a pure pace side, and even they changed their side up (slowed down) and are now in a prelim.

Speed is over rated, skill is not.

Harry get caught? He's almost the untacklable man, he moves those hips like a Capoeira fighter and they slide right off!
