I wanted to discuss this. I’m piecing together snippets and wonder if anyone has more info. We played monday night v WC  ( late) flew bk the same night into Melb, probably arriving Tues  at 6-7 am? 

Once we got bk we’ve had to go into 72 hours of iso so Adelaide are allowed to come over. So lets  say that ended Friday lunch time. 

I heard Gawn speaking saying we’re having. training run Sat and that’s it! That’s a massive disruption isn’t it?  Meanwhile Adelaide have a week w everything as normal. How do players deal w injuries, do rehab, fitness etc etc? 

I guess if we come out a bit rusty we’ve got to cut them a bit of slack. Glad it’s Adelaide not Geelong.

I would suspect we are in a tampering off for finals period now, fitness will be in a maintenance phase mainly through games.

 So maybe not such a big disruption...

If you’re premiership worthy then you will play any team, anywhere, anytime … and win.

They trained on Wednesday.

Was wondering the same when I heard Gus during his podcast (I think it was Wednesday) that he was still tired a little. They had a training run on Wednesday at Goschs judging by the videos on the MFC site. May also said there’s a Captain’s Run today.

Saving that for the draft, are we?

They trained fully on Wednesday and had a captains run today.

Honestly,  I have no issues with our preparation this week. We learnt a great deal last year and handled it fine.

No 8-hour flight or 7-day quarantine...could be tricky!
