You still don't understand what any of us are saying. Listen carefully.

No one doubts that humidity will affect performance.

What we have pointed out, is the fact that there was no apparent effect on the GC players, therefore it is not an excuse for AFL players (as opposed to GC kids) to blame humidity. If both teams slowed down, then you may be able to attribute the lack of scoring on fatigue/humidity but you can't attribute our performance to it, where the other side are running around as normal.

key word KIDS good to see our kids are not up to it as much !!!!!

so ur puttin humidity ahead of guts, attitude etc as the reason for the third qtr????

they are 18, been up there 6 months and they have better fitness and handle humidity better than tuned athletes over several years?

wouldnt it have a worse effect in the last qtr where we have been better?

u make no sense but we know that.

humidity is horrible, wife and I spent 3 months in China and it was humid as hell and we could not cope at all.

Humidity is a major factor when your running all day.

Thankyou...a man who knows. It is hard to walk 20 steps in high humidity. Your entire body just steams and sweats all day.....

I can't believe the debate on a game thread is the about the bloody humidity!!

The elephant in the room is that we are not playing well and it has nothing to do with the playing conditions. We are bottom 4 this year on what I have seen.

Skills are poor, often under little pressure. Too many who can't play contested footy.

The replies in this thread are hilarious.

We're destroying them, and have been all game.

We're up by 80 points ffs.

Now imagine if we kicked straight - 19 points, and considering Green has kicked 2 out on the full, i think Sylvia has done it a few times too... not bad.

e: This is a bigger victory than the WB managed - a top 4 aspirant who played them at home.

Haha... Terrible comment. Who is? I don't think we expect to be do we...? If we are the 8th best team this year that would be good enough I think

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
