wallace's philosophy is speed and run. that's where he thinks the game is headed.

It seems this is a pretty well believed fact. The evidence certainly seems to back it up.

My question is what evidence is Wallet using to come to this conclusion? And how many of us think he is right?

The last 3 years show that winning clearances, contested possessions and first possessions, tackling and performing 1%ers are all things held in common by the teams that are performing well. Not surprisingly Richmond has finished, if not last, then a long way down these categories in the last couple of years.

For mine I think speed certainly plays an important role in the modern game. Teams like Port Adelaide have used it to great effect. I don't however think putting it above things like the ability to win the ball and having a well balanced list is the way to success. Time will tell I guess.
