Don't necessarily agree with this. We ran out the 4th quarter throughout the year pretty well. I'd say we are a mentally un-fit team. Most AFL teams can run both ways (midfields in particular) but find it a hell of a lot easier when they are winning and are feeling confident. Only the very good teams run both ways when things aren't going their way. Hawks, Swans and Freo definitely do.... Port did for chunks of the season.

We still lack the mental fitness to be able to do this.... Can we be fitter physically...no doubt but 90% is between the ears...

I do agree its a mental fitness too, but if you here Burgess speak about how hard he pushed Port players over preseason and he worried that maybe he had gone to hard on them and then went nah stuff it they can handle it. You push them beyond what they thought they could do makes them both physically and mentally strong.

Port just have a belief they can over run anyone and always in the game, we are just starting to develop the belief that we can get back in the game when a team heads us.
