Worst Speed / Fitness in comp?
« on: May 07, 2016, 01:04:10 PM »
Biggest fail I believe has been the issue of lack of pace and fitness drafted or put into the playing group.

Have a look at the last qtr players just out on there feet and weren't able to run to space or run out of the back line to counter, which is a huge buzz game plan at the moment. We aren't quick enough to counter and don't have the fitness to run out / close games.

Blame the crystal ball of drafting all you want with X player vs Y player, so many things can effect development but something that is inexcusable is the lack of pace and fitness. Drafted too many of the same nuggety contested utility players. Seeing Hill, Rioli and Puopolo just running into space just proved how far behind we are the modern game.

Was awful seeing Deledio have the ball and no team mates in our forward half or gut running forward. If you cant gut run when we have the ball we never will.
Go Tigers!
