I went to the footy clinic for kids run by the club last week, and I was shocked - no horrified - by the lack of conditioning on our players. With apologies to a few, out new recruits don't look like they would be able to punch their way out of a wet paper bag. They have very immature bodies – but I'm sure they can run really fast and jump really high. Pity we are not an athletics team! No wonder they are simply pushed off the ball. You will never read about Richmond players involved in a pub brawl, as they would still be out the front trying to convince the bouncer that they are older than 14.

Lets hope a few get sand kicked in their face over summer - it worked for Atlas

Let's start with Howat. Edwards, Tambling and poor old Will Thursfield (I'm worried he will sustain a serious injury if they keep on putting him on giants..... Warren Tredrea and Barry Hall in next 2 weeks?)

There are plenty of others who need the Atlas treatment!

The biggest single problem is what i call our "tired skills". Every person gets to a point where there skill level drops at a certain point of exhaustion. Too many on our team reach that point before the opposition. This is a conditioning issue as much as anything and for mine is still a result of years of inadequte training.
 
Thursfield has plenty of ability but you cant play key positon weighing in at 75-85 kilos

See Franklin shove him aside with one hand yesterday. It's not the kids fault no other coach would be dumb enough to put a stick figure at full back. Then again they wouldnt be stupid enough to retire there full back at round 5 instead of at the end of 2006 when it should of happened.

Then again this whole club from administration up is just clueless, inefficent, ineffective and plain *smile* stupid
