If Richmond beat Brisbane

[kaiserchief13]

Do WC set up base in Melbourne starting later this week?

 

[new breed]

No ....not sure we are even favourite's to beat Geelong , 50/50 game really .

1 game at a time if we do beat Geelong we will have at least a seven day break maybe eight day break .

 

[squashface]

No.

It’s not wise to start something we’ve never done before in a cut throat finals series.

All of their routines that they have built up over the years get thrown on their head and sleeping in their own beds with their own families during the week is important.

Do WC set up base in Melbourne starting later this week?

Big NO from me...14 players are fathers, I'd say that's going to be a bit disruptive to there's and the missos life.

 

[kaiserchief13]

I get that's it's not ideal, but it's 2 weeks with 3 straight away games in Melbourne. They have a routine but that's because they only play 1 away game at a time.

 

[hungrytiger]

Yes. HTFU.. military go away for months at a time..

 

[Gods_Son23]

Fly the families down too.

 

[kerrazy]

How about we ******* win against Geelong before even thinking about a prelim?

Yes that's a good idea.

 

[Hai_Newman]

Yes. HTFU.. military go away for months at a time..

Yes but in the military you swear your allegiance to your country waving all rights to die for her...AFL is a sport and not even close to a young mans/women mindset when joining.

 

[alexmcd]

No. Just stick to the routine. I’d rather fly 8 hrs to be at home for 5 days.

 

[Capriati]

Nope. We will have a 7/8 day break between SF and PF and another 7/8 day break between PF & GF. Let them stay at home with their family and maintain their routines. We shouldnt be tired given the break between matches and the fact we havent travelled in a month since round 22.

The pre finals bye has been a godsend for us.

 

[Doashuey]

Yes. HTFU.. military go away for months at a time..

Why wouldn't we? I mean sailors spend 6 months at sea at a time, arctic expeditions go for months at a time, boarding school kids do 10 week stretches. Surely an AFL football team is identically analogous to the aforementioned situations.

 

[hungrytiger]

The difference between snowflakes and not.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

The difference between snowflakes and not.

The difference between performing optimally or not. ******* with your routine during finals, using the justification “the military do it”, is a strange way to win a flag.

Here we go...King of Snowflakes HoneyBadger35

 

[hungrytiger]

Finals destinations change every time. Minimising travel is optimum.

So have you moved your incessant talking points of masten and Waterman to a love affair of whats done in the military?

I gotta say it's weird but much preferred.

 

[hungrytiger]

I know first hand what they do in the military petal, having left high school and joining. Probably why i dont like those 2 powderpuffs.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Some mysteries solve themselves.

 

[MIKE85]

This is Eagles87, Thailand orphanages all over again

 

[Shuestar13]

Ah I see our best and brightest are up and about

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Military references and 'petal', 'snowflake', 'powderpuff'...getting a real Chris Cooper in American Beauty vibe from our hungry friend.

 

[Wild Kelly]

Big NO from me...14 players are fathers, I'd say that's going to be a bit disruptive to there's and the missos life.

Yeah.....they don't want to end up in the soup.

 

[ioppolo]

Spending three weeks away from the comforts of home and family on short notice would probably throw the players out of routine more than back and forth flights.

There's 3.
