3 games in 13 days and traveling over 8 and a half thousand km's can really take alot out of players. In spite of the obvious travel fatigue and having 2 men down on the bench, a 36 point loss is not as bad as you may think.

What I'm shitty about is that if it happened to the Collingflogs the AFL will dramatically cave in to their demands thus that club will get what it wants, every time again!

I'm really annoyed how the AFL has treated the Fremantle Football Club playing 3 games in less than 14 days. So don't worry about how the team's going, they're doing just fine.

See you in the finals!

No doubting Freo are a good team and should be there in September but don't discredit us. Its also our 3rd game in 13 days and whilst Freo travelled back to Subi last week, we JUST travelled there in the last couple of days...

Either way Freo must of learnt a bit of the physical aspects of the game and it will only improve the for the future. They have the cattle to go far!!!

Well lets see how you go against the cats next week. We travelled to Brisbane and won, but its the travelling back after playing that delays/hampers the players recovery. There is no way Collingwood can claim their travelling to Subi is equal to our travel to & from Brisbane.

Thanks for the sentement, but don't come to this board and make any comparison to how 'even' the schedule was in the build up to this game or at any time for that matter.

Try coming back to Subi in 14 days time after playing with a 'blockbuster' type game in the middle - that is called a tough draw. Do something like that a few times a year and then you Collingwood princesses can come here and give us that toss about good travelling team and having the same '3 games in 2 weeks crap'.

It's no excuse, the good teams fight through that and come out winners anyway. We're not there yet, I grant that. I'll also hear idiot WC fans come here and say it's no excuse because it isn't, but any Collingflog fan comes in here and sprooks about the draw and travel can just Pi$$ off and get a clue while they're at it.
 
let it go

Collingwood played very good team football which we could not match (at this stage).

Personally i would prefer Harvey didn't speak about travel. It's a fact so let's deal with it. Travel talk should be kept to the pre-season fixture negotiating

hopefully we learnt a lot from the game and we can all move on to beating Sydney
