Hawthorns entire playing list must have the pace of Usain Bolt.
I know this is a troll attempt but I’m going to answer in good faith.
Our entire backline is undersized but compensates via speed or elite kicking. If we are allowed to play the game on our terms (i.e. winning the midfield battle and setting up) then it becomes difficult for Darcy types to consistently chase a Weddle. Even a “spud” like Frost can be mobile and good at linking. We constantly slingshot from our backline with the entire unit getting involved which has challenged both tall and small forwards.
Of course, if Darcy is isolated 1v1 with quick ball movement he will likely take the mark, and that will be the tactical battle.
