contradiction

[thegur]

how come when we (and Freo) lose on the road, it's because we can't win away from Subi, but yet when teams lose in Perth, and then the following week, it's because of the tough road trip...... obviously it isn't as tough when flying east to west ...

anyone else see the contradiction?

OK, my mistake ... obviously it isn't as tough flying west to east.

No you are right there has been research that proves that it is 3 (yes three) times harder to go west to east than east to west.

It is to do with the bodies circadian clock which naturally gains about 1 hour every day.

Pity we can not reverse it, it would be nice to have a younger Milli and Jako.

Is this the first time both WA sides have wone in consecutive weeks?

Shorter flight west-east than east-west (because of the jetstream)

I thought it was the opposite?

Nope, happened Rds 9 and 10 in 1995.

It is generally quicker to fly from Melbourne to Perth, than it is to fly to Perth to Melbourne.
