These fade outs are really poor. Anyone got suggestions why the drop off is so pronounced?

We must be the worst team in the AFL for the second half of the season

Hard to mount an argument against that. Really poor last quarters have hurt us in a big way.

At least you could watch it. We kicked enough goals and did enough right to actual make it viewable.

Could be a case of the younger and smaller bodies feel the bumps more and also need a few more kilometres in the legs.
And the older ones just don't have the kilometers left.

We were out on our feet 1/2 way thru the 2nd qtr.

I hope the focus thru the pre-season is on our running ability because our fitness sucks at present.

Definitely been a big issue, I think we had 5 first year players today plus another 3 who have done only two preseasons, plus what appeared to be a very top-heavy backline, which is more a selection issue than a fitness issue.

Problem is, senior players were amongst those walking around. Telling vision when you have the wide shot on TV. We were going forward and some players, 3rd quarter, just having a stroll.

Given McCartney's emphasis on adding size it's going to be difficult to juggle both size and fitness. Improving our fitness levels is more critical based on the last half of the season.

The younger bodies in the team and our overall fitness I think really need work. I just feel that the 82 point margin flattered us a bit. We simply aren't a 4 qtr team at present.

Cannot play Ruffy and Marko in the back line together. If the match committee intend Ruffy to stay as a backman long term then I would delist Marko.

Gone at years end for me would be DJ, Marko, Hooper, Grub, Gilbs, Shaggy, Moles. Is that enough?

Borderline Zeph and Panos.

I think that is why we need to move Roughead forward for the last two games and it's one of the reasons why I can't find a spot of Cordy.

Personally I can't find a spot for Marko either.
