why
They are the fittest side in the comp and everyone is scared of them.

Still below us.
Gone backwards, a long way.
A few points from a GF and now sitting 10th, probably lower after the split rounds. Look longshots for the top 4.
Don't look anywhere near as fit, constantly outnumbered at contests.
Hinkley looked like a genius before. He looks a little clueless in the box now.
Brereton spoke this week of how Ryder has upset their structure... but he's not even playing tonight and they don't look any better, so I don't think they can blame that.
What happened BigFooty? They weren't just meant to be good, they were all the rage for the flag.

They started believing their own hype by the looks of it.
Booooooo.
Only kicked 11.3 for the match, bit of a worry.
A few cracks appearing.

A youngish group so not the most outlandish theory.
Perhaps they're just a year or two away.

They have forward issues but a lot of them might be overrated.
Was it just fitness last year?

It's a few things:
Their bottom six is pretty average. Clurey, Stewart, Young, Sam Gray, Colquhorn, Pittard aren't great and carrying that many players in a team hurts.
Their defense isn't great, it isn't bad, but it's hardly a strength.
Their fitness has dropped off, spread and run has dropped off, meaning they get outnumbered in contests and their kicking worsens as the game goes on.
Their forwardline can be a bit one dimensional, Gray and Wingard.
Lobbe isn't a great ruck, and I find the idea that Ryder ruined their structure to be crap, he should be playing and Lobbe should be dropped. Doesn't offer that much around the ground and is an average tap ruckman.
They're finals material but their draw is hard.

They need another forward to support Shulz
I'm sick of hearing about bloody Port! Tonight should have cleared up the misconception that there's anything worth a damn to talk about
They're a long way from expectations, it's a talking point.
