I'd be interested to know how those Darwin games impact on big blokes like Gawn and Hogan. I remember reading that Jono Brown would lose 5-6 kg during a hot game in Brisbane. Apparently this was all very closely monitored and he would be fed a huge hamburger and litres of drink immediately after the game. He would not leave the ground until measured levels of hydration and weight were re established.

That seems a huge loss of fluid in the space of 2 & 1/2  hours,  especially considering they would be constantly hydrating during that time.

Nevertheless, I'm also very interested in what Melb planned for the teams recovery:

1. Did they fly home last night or stay in Darwin? Pro's and Cons?

2. What was planned for today (Sunday)?

Does anyone know?

I have it sorted.

i just got a hyperbaric chamber cheap from a bloke in Sth Yarra.

we can rotate them through that for a few hours and hope they don't expire.

They got back to Melb about 3pm yesterday.  They were all still feeling exhausted.  Sunday was a get over the exhaustion day.
