Here we go - was waiting for this old chestnut.

Let's see if it now goes right through the Adelaide camp next week then.

Some clubs take the opportunity when it presents itself........





....some clubs make excuses for squandering the opportunity.  :banghead


It's when near enough is good enough and excessive backslapping follows what's a normally expected standard output.

Agree with the sentiment, I can't stand excuses, but if there is any truth to it you'd have to say it would have a tremendous affect on a game like this. I was pretty surprised with a lot of the game last night, we definitely seemed a level below in intensity. Especially considering they kicked away in the second half, and scored last minute goals in all the quarters bar the last (but they got 2 goals in the second last minute).

who knows? it's not like it would the first time in history a virus has gone through a sports club and affected their performance.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. They looked way off from an intensity pov

Only Rance looked noticably off to- Martin, Lennon, Cotchin, Miles, Lambert,Vlastuin all looked ok to me.. Maric was crap but looked strong...Riewoldt copped a knock, Grimes got injured...the spuds looked their usual crap selves...they might have had the flu but it wasn't "plain to see.."....the only bug they looked like they caught was the one you get from drinking your own bathwater...

Why are they not given the flu shot?
Title: Re: "Flu went right through the Richmond camp" - SEN
Post by: The Machine on August 08, 2015, 08:18:39 PM
There is more thran one type of flu. Flu shots are good but doesn't guarantee you don't get the flu.

This is correct.

plus it is more likely to be a cold, or rhino (sp) virus rather than the flu - influenza virus

not sure why the idea is being discounted out of hand by some, because if it is true, it will have a dramatic effect on a sportsman performance, particularly at the elite level.

More discounting the sudden claims by certain people here that they knew two days ago but didn't speak up until now for "fear of ridicule"...despite the Deledio announcement providing them with the perfect segue....

can't see this on thier website at all, or was it someone calling in to say?

very true, i don't get the flu shot anymore as everytime i did i get a bloody cold, then that makes my asthma play up & a 3-4 day bug becomes a 3-4 month illness etc....

Sounds like we are being ridiculed irrespective of the timing . You should thank us - imagine how stroppy you'd have been if we spoke up when we knew?

Probably saved you being given 48hrs off.

I went to the game - players looked off but no more than the Hawks were the previous week. Whether it was flu related or intensity was down doesn't really matter.
Crows were the opposite - almost fanatical pressure on us and our kick outs went back to the dark days.

If true the Club hasn't used it as excuse and quite rightly so.

Don't want to hear it to be honest

No excuse for that effort on Friday, you cross the line you are right to go and you give your all

We weren't good enough and now just sit inside the 8 when if we a real top 4 chance we'd actually be 4th

you can give your all, all you want, but if you hampered by illness, your all wont be all that flash.

As I've said, we really dont know what the story is, but these viruses take a lot out you, even the more benighn ones that cause the "cold",  and at this level you dont have to drop off by much to be shown up.

If true, it as a valid reason to explain why they were so flat, but I'm glad we have not had any comment from the club about it.
