It's amazing how well WC do with the amount of travel they have to do

Melbourne teams have it easy - only have to walk around the corner most weeks to play a game

Lol at the 80-100km round trip most Saints players are probably making to Seaford every other day though.

Is sitting in a seat for a couple of hours really that big a deal.

WC have to travel interstate every second week.

In the summer as well?

Is this flying thing thing only a Australian phenomenon?
Guys overseas do plenty of travel and it doesn't seem to affect them.
Look at the NBA, MLB and NHL where they play up to 6 games a week and often in 3 or 4 different cities per week

I think it's the time difference that affects them most

If our clubs got the same treatment from the airlines as the American teams do then it wouldn't be such an issue for us either.

Delta takes eight of its Airbus A319 jets out of regular passenger service in October and installs special interiors designed by the NBA. Instead of 126 seats, there are only 54. The plane is segregated into three cabins—the front for players, with 16 seats that fold out into beds for 7-footers, 10 seats in the middle for coaches and 28 in the rear for team staff, security and beat reporters. Even the seats in the rear have more space than normal domestic first-class seats.

For teams, the convenience of postgame charters can ease the grind of frequent travel and keep players fresher for the next game.

As if you don't contribute to that.
