Speak for yourself. As someone who spent half or more of his "career" between the sticks, I was a keeper playing the sweeping role back in the 90s and with some success. It didn't help that, in my 40s, I was the youngest of the "back 5". I went for through balls and balls over the top of the back 4 at a pace just quick enough to get there first. No point in giving away my speed early doors. Next one was a bit further away from goal. Again I'd get there first, just. How sharper the pass, the quicker I went. Much to the chagrin of the oppo. Often took the oppo until well into the 2nd half to work out that that tactic wasn't going to work.
