Fitness??

[thorax]

A lot of positives on Saturday night, but a major concern is still our fitness. I know that it is early in the year and Sydney do play a high energy game, but if our fitness does not improve I doubt that we can run a game out with sides such as West Coast and Geelong. We have all the ingredients for a succesful year (injuries dependant) with good KPP, an improving on-ball unit and a lot of ticker, but if the boys aren't super fit, and Lloyd doesnt kick 6 goals every first quarter, we may again have issues late in the game.

We won the last quarter. We won the last 10 minutes of the last quarter.
I thought our ability to run out the game was pretty good.

We had a couple of blokes cramp up, but that always happens early in the season, happened in most games I watched this week. It also happened to blokes who had their biggest work load at AFL level (Watson, Slattery).

I'm not sure if fitness was really our problem in the past, it was depth and the work load placed on our prime movers. That seems to have been rectified toa certain extent.
