Do we have the required fitness to play 4 quarters of AFL football??

Don't see it.

    Physical fitness or mental fitness

    we do seem to give up late in a game

    or relax if we are a way in front.

    feeling rather dispondant just now 

    as usual high hopes at the start of the year  Couple of weeks in little or no real improvement.  [censored] Off !!

    Just a shame really. God I hate when Carey and or Newman are right.

    Most sides seem to be able to outrun us over 4q thats for sure. 

    However, whatever the recipe, the Tigers last year and this year appear way ahead in the fitness stakes and their ability to continue to run all game.

    Figured your thoughts on our energy sapping game style might slot in nicely here

    I am more concerned about a great deal of wasted effort. Lots of player making a very good contribution in effort but what's the point if you have no idea where you should send the ball.

    A ball flying 40m doesn't even work up a sweat, and there's no better way to rest than watcing someone mark-kick-goal.

    But constantly grappling and scrapping and pointless bombs meaning every time we run forward we have to run back again, that takes a toll, a phyiscal one as well as the mental one.

    Our total failure to deal with Richmond's excellent whole-team defensive positioning meant we were spending a LOT of time running to keep up, while they were there ready at the spots we were so obviously about to kick to.

    we've been beaten in the second half three out of five times now

    it certainly suggests we come to a shuddering halt down the stretch

    against geelong we 'won' the second half by 41 to 17

    against bears, lost 56 to 45

    against north, won 62 to 34

    against hawks, smashed 68 to 9

    against tigers, lost 38 to 62

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
