Yeah agreed they are all accountable for the loss, and wasn't really trying to give them an escape route, just peeed off big time that we lose again in the first round (yeah I remember last year lol).
As I said on another post, drop all except a couple and get in some kids that can kick and not handball and play faster footy.

Losing gets my bloodin curdling, no offense intended at any time mate 

All good, I'm not exactly a happy camper about it myself today!

I have long said this is a significant reason behind RFC failings.

Looking at the distressed state of Deledio when trying to go with Ablett deep in the game was very telling.

Interesting that they are saying Matt White was our best runner at the club, he is not even in the top 6 at Port.

Heard this too, pretty loaded comment. Should have said sprinter, he certainly wasn't the best endurance runner. Whilst up there, I'm sure Ellis had him covered. As far as sprinting goes I'd back Deledio to out run Matty.

In saying that Port have bigger engines and quicker players than we do. They were great to watch tonight, smashing Carlton was great to watch. Would love some Port players in a yellow sash. Boak is a gun.

Matty White was consistently in our top 2 or 3 for both speed AND endurance

I have one thing to say about fitness staff

Darren Burgess 

that's probably why we tried to get him before we hired the bloke we have now (the one we got from Hawthorn)

Pity Burgess' wife is from Adelaide, that's the main reason he is at Port

Endurance is one thing but can't make our players run quicker than they already are.
GC simply looked quicker. Some of their kids are quite simply better athletes than what we currently have at the club.

You can actually increase speed Foley wasn't lightning when he first came to the club but in his own time he invested in a running coach and worked on it relentlessly until he became an explosive player. I agree if you're slow you're never going to be lightning but you can increase your speed! My cousin works with Adam Larkham fitness guru who trains some of australias best runners used to be at Freo and Swans - also trains several AFL players who come over for extra specialised training.

well why don't you tell your cousin to get this Adam Larkham guru down the club FFS tony

They looked quicker in the last quarter which can't just be about speed, you think usain bolt is going to win a marathon?

I believe our endurance is poor but nonetheless, if both sides are tired in the last quarter then the quicker side will still be quicker....

Speed & endurance are clearly both issues for us.
