There was undoubtedly a physical factor involved. Heads of fitness plan the work loads months in advance. Traveling regularly and having strict quarantine restrictions including not being able to have a recovery session after the Essendon game would definitely have had some impact on performance. How much is unclear however Melbourne were able to maintain an extremely high level of pressure and a player number advantage that we couldn't match.

Wheres he come from?
Knightmare’s latest phantom draft has Sam Darcy listed at 205cm. With an even longer armspan hinted.
He is going to be some type of weapon if he can translate his game to AFL level!

How did Sammy P turn 17 into 23, 44 and 45? I just had a look at that entire 4 way trade and it makes no sense why we come out as far ahead as we do? Blokes a bloody genius. I would think the cats 30/32 for 23 and one of ours in the 40’s could be on the cards. If we gave them 45 it would drop back to 40 assuming all our earlier ones get absorbed so cats could jump 7 forward and 8 back with their 2 picks. Good if there is someone they want early in the 2nd round.
Sammy P will now prove me a dumbkiss and turn 23 into a 2022 first rounder using magic smoke and fairy dust…

Apparently he's been Collingwood's AFL engagement manager whatever the heck that is. He's also their VFL Operations Manager.
I am guessing they go back to the Hawks together, so I assume Bevo will know what kind of footballing mind Spangher has. I hope he does well.
Interesting. Seems like more of an adminstration figure rather than coach.
Either way, I am excited to see what he can do with our forward line. We look awesome when we are firing, but can be shocking when we are off.
My tip is that Moz will take over defence if Bubba moves to a different line.

I believe he was counting this gf and winning the next three.

Thats much more reasonable. I'd be happy with a fourpeat starting next season. Any flags after that would feel like a bonus.
Nah, he wasn't.

So what's going on with Stefan M? No official announcement regarding a re-sign or retirement? Everything I dig up says he had a one year contract, was expecting to see something around what we're doing with him from an official capacity.

West, Dunks and Crozier with that traveling crew as well (though they seem to have come home at this point). Hoping West gets some magic rubbing off on him.

Yeah honestly from the outside looking in it’s bloody fantastic how much time Naughty & Jamarra in particular are spending with Bont. The bloke is just the ultimate professional, as little or as much of the way he goes about things rubbing off on the young boys is a great thing

I really do think this is by design from The Bont. He understands the value in a fit Marra and the off field chemistry with Naughton. This is why he such a fantastic leader

Westy being there is great too. He's talented but hasn't been able to force his way into the team and has played a bit selfishly. Time with Bont will be fantastic ffor him.

Thought McNeil would be up there. Didn’t realise Daniel was that quick.

The perception by a lot of people on here is that individual players are slooow, but in fact they’re not.
