It also builds your tank and gets you match practice in the best environment that they train for, the game. You're sounding like someone who has never played or followed sport before, still waiting for links to these so called studies.

Ok then, link us to the study that says closed training sessions and running is better for match fitness than actual game time.

So you think playing the sport for 4 quarters week in week out does nothing for your match fitness? What total nonsense. Do people really have any idea what they're talking about when it comes to fitness and preparation or is it just another chance to give Clayton a pass? I thought he was very good for the most part to be honest.

Yeesh, I'm sorry, no need to be like that though. I rate Petty's set shooting highly and was just disappointed with that last effort. Thought his earlier one was beautiful

Well we'll agree to disagree. I feel you can't lose fitness by playing more games and would like to think it has helped him. Otherwise why play him?

When you play nearly 20 games, yes it is.

A bit of fight would be nice, some hunger. It sometimes seems like our fans are too nice. We needed to win tonight and this was for all the money.

Anyone else think Petty's last shot at goal was pathetic?

He should be fighting fit by now. 3 quarters of a season is enough time.

Not enough passion tonight. From the players or the supporters. Even the cheersquad looked really thin. Where is the fight from Demon fans?

How exactly do the FD and the DA and work very closely together? Apart from greeting each other on gameday it's hard to see how there would be any real crossover in work.

At the break of Gawn

This first paragraph sums up everything we know about you in a nutshell. Do you actually follow the sport of Australian Rules? It seems like 90% of your posts are about criticising people on here for being too negative for you. I've never seen one post from you commenting on the actual game, it seems that you are much more interested in attacking people on here than the sport itself. The fact that you are willing to blindly agree with someone who didn't watch the game just so you can get another swipe in at everyone who doesn't think like you underlines this. It's starting to make sense why you can't understand people's negativity if you don't understand the sport. A lot of people here do and that's why they bring their critiques and observations to the table. It's like everyone is talking in a language different to yours and you're annoyed at them for it.

Looking forward to a good performance.

4 goals in a row was a bit much though

It was good to see us play wet weather football and the other team try to play dry in the wet for a change.

Something needs to change. They were absolutely horrible last night.

Who are you Joe Biden?

Judd McVee was incredible

He was not good.

How will we combat the best ruck combination out there? Fullerton has to be in. If not then we will get done

Fullerton should have been in . Jefferson and Verrell could have been worth a try, how do we know if we don't try? Petty was out bodied a lot tonight and it really showed.

I don't know if Petty was fine. 6 touches and two marks is not great.

So you are happy to have a liability in the ruck against Jackson and Darcy? It's not going to work and you can see it coming.

I don't think a VFL level ruckman would have done worse than him in the ruck tonight. He was terrible but he won't get dropped.
