PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum

According to an assistant from another Melbourne club.

I just got off the phone to a good friend who is a assistant at a melbourne base club. A club we hate!

I asked him what do you think is wrong with the Tigers?

His reply was "it's lack of fitness, every club in the league knows that Richmond isn't fit enough".

Why is it fitness?

Answer: You don't train hard enough, you do little to no hard running mid season!

Really?

Answer: Mate at AFL level, if your 5% off the rest of the clubs your history!

So thats it, it's fitness?

Answer: Pretty much!

So whats wrong with your club?

Answer: don't go there!


From there we got talking family stuff.


This conversation has me thinking, that he's probably right. I would like to know how many last quarters we have won this year? I have to admit that I've been to quite a few training sessions this year and I have never seen any hard running. Admittedly I haven't been to any Monday sessions but I have seen up to 10 Wednesday and Friday training sessions.


Is he wrong?

The mind boggles!
