SANFL Ladders & Statistics - Round 14

Better late than never!

Geez I'll get howled down for saying this.

Looking at the 1/4 by 1/4 stats it seems as though the much discussed fitness levels of the bulk of the Port Adelaide side has not had any impact on games at all.

Sorry, aresholes, not Port Adelaide.

Well Booney, in the spirit of fairness, I'll reduce my charge of 'arseholes' from the Port Magpies to just the coach.

I've since checked the Richmond 'away' rooms. They're vastly bigger than the similar Alberton rooms and when I read that originally, I thought of the years of trying to get a team ready for a game in the tiny space they call the away rooms at Alberton.

I'll apologise to all at Port Magpies and accept their apology that what they did was wrong.

All square now?

I'm pretty sure it isn't the size of the room that was the issue. It was the amount of people that were trying to fit into it.

How do I explain it. Imagine you've got a trophy cabinet built for 8 cups but you want to try and fit 36 in it. You wouldn't be able to do it now, would you?

There. Square.

Anyway, back to my point, it seems fitness or lack of isn't having a major impact upon the results involving the two sides with AFL aligned players. The Eagles, West and South all have a better record of winning quarters after half time than Port and Adelaide do.
