Trivial Fact from MFC 2021 Season

[Watson11 2,240]

We played one game this season where our total physical output was 15% more than any other game.  Can anyone guess which game it was? Source is Burgo's podcasts.

I would guess Prelim vs Geelong but only a guess.

What is "physical output" a measure of?

[Skuit 10,029]

Such a fantastic podcast. In disappointment terms, Burgo's departure ranks a close second to Jurrah and ahead of Jako for me. I'm not sure that everyone really appreciates what we've lost - one of those blokes bagged us a flag. And sports science isn't going to go away anytime soon. To stay ahead, our club needs to recruit the best in the business from the worldwide pool.

You would need to ask Burgo.  I would assume they measure total energy for the game for every player using the GPS and efforts etc but don’t really know.

Does anyone have a calorific indicator?🤣

Felt like we outnumbered the Tigers in that game and had an extra couple of players on the ground so I'll go with that one

Isn't that what a waist size measurement is for?

In multiple choice, always pick C.

Yes they do https://support.catapultsports.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000648316-Volume-Metrics

This looks like the super duper version. https://support.catapultsports.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001343976-What-is-Metabolic-Power-

Burgo has a PhD so he worked it all out.

That's brilliant @Watson11 - my hypothesis was correct :)

Salem and May’s bone crunching hits in the first were pretty big. And they definitely made a point of roughing up MaCrae in the first.

I'm going with the after party. Anyone carrying Max around is working harder than my iPad after midnight.

For those interested, the podcast where Burgo spoke about our output was this one https://brukieandburgo.podbean.com/e/series-2-episode-2-matthew-innes/

Matthew Innes is head of high performance at the Bulldogs, and it was not the most interesting podcast.  Innes spoke about the finals and the travel and quarantine the dogs dealt with etc.  Burgo slipped in the conversation that Round 20 against Gold Coast, despite spending the entire previous day sitting on a plane etc, then having the game scheduled early the following day the MFC players performance was off the charts and 15% higher than any other game this year. It was also the week after the wet slog against the dogs.

You have to feel sorry for gold coast considering our performance after that game.

I said before that the GC game was a watershed game for us. We played our best footy for the season after that.

Fascinating that they could do that under the circumstances of the previous 24 hours and play that way WITHOUT a crowd 

It really turns every piece of preparation upside down!!
