The bigger issue wasn't their speed per se, but the fact that they played a defensive line basically on the half way line. As a defender that's really hard to defend against if the ball in behind is good as your body shape is almost always wrong i.e. not on the half turn, meaning you're made to look a lot slower than you actually are as the offensive player is almost always running the right way.
So the key for us isn't picking or not picking Murray (you can afford one slower forward i.e. him or Gross), it's playing quick players either side of him if you play him who will make those runs in behind the defensive line if it is high.
My money on this week’s left field player picked by GP is the return of The Greyhound
