Based on this recent article (link below), running faster gives our team an added advantage...apart from the obvious!
"Sports teams playing in stripes could learn from the animal kingdom and bamboozle their opponents - if they can run quickly enough.
Scientists have conducted studies to show that species with stripes can confuse predators by appearing blurred when they move swiftly."

So that's why Jaidyn Stephenson is able to evade the opposition defence so well. In the game against Geelong, two Geelong defenders got so confused that they ran into each other and allowed Jaidyn to lope away with the ball!
