FFS 24 is hardly hot. In fact it's damn near perfect! I'd reckon they'd be stoked!
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

Correct, it gives everyone a chance to play well. Much better than the alternative.Thinline wrote:FFS 24 is hardly hot. In fact it's damn near perfect! I'd reckon they'd be stoked!
If blokes can't run out a game in 24 degrees at this stage of the season the fitness team would need to take a good hard look at themselves!

I don't think it's that they can't run it out as such, it's that the Perth boys won't even notice it - whereas our guys will.Dr Spaceman wrote:Correct, it gives everyone a chance to play well.

So there's an advantage there.

Umm, in case you are not aware or live elsewhere, it has been about 15 to 17 degrees and either damp or cloudy for pretty much the whole of May here in Melbourne.Thinline wrote:Dry and 24.Johnny Member wrote:I don't think it's that they can't run it out as such, it's that the Perth boys won't even notice it - whereas our guys will.Dr Spaceman wrote:Correct, it gives everyone a chance to play well.

24 isn't hot.
It's PRIME.

Not hot as such, but enough to lose a hell of a lot more fluid than they would be training in 16 degrees.Thinline wrote:All the more reason to celebrate the trip west then!saintspremiers wrote:Umm, in case you are not aware or live elsewhere, it has been about 15 to 17 degrees and either damp or cloudy for pretty much the whole of May here in Melbourne.Thinline wrote:Dry and 24.Johnny Member wrote:I don't think it's that they can't run it out as such, it's that the Perth boys won't even notice it - whereas our guys will.Dr Spaceman wrote:Correct, it gives everyone a chance to play well.

So it will impact their bodies more than it will guys that train the same conditions as they'll be playing in.
So it's an advantage definitely.

It's not 24 every day in Perth. If the Saints get tired due to the "heat" then it's a fair chance Freo will be too. This thread is so ridiculous!

It's all about fluid loss.Moccha wrote: If blokes can't run out a game in 24 degrees at this stage of the season the fitness team would need to take a good hard look at themselves! Make some other bulls*** up cos this one doesn't cut it!
A player can lose around 5% of their body weight during a game. If you ever get towards the 10% mark, it gets dangerous and your body can't function properly.
So fitness isn't really the issue. It's hydration that's the factor.
Due to the training environments of the two teams, Fremantle players won't have a sudden increase in fluid loss on the day compared to their normal training or fortnightly games.
Our guys will.
If you're an on-baller and you've lost 8kgs of fluid by the last quarter, and your opponent has lost 4 - he has an advantage.
It doesn't mean you can't beat him on ability, but it certainly means he has an edge in fitness.

I don't think anyone's suggesting that 24 deg is "hot", I mean we generally get 3-4 days between 40-45deg every summer (Black Saturday got up to 48*- we were apparently the hottest place on Earth that day), and they train in 24-40deg weather all summer, but lately it's been about 15 deg and they reckon it's noticeably colder in Seaford, so their bodies will have adjusted to that sort of temp.Thinline wrote:

It's more about what your body is used to, not whether it's "hot" or not. It's all relative and has to be put into perspective.
I imagine they will certainly notice a difference if it's 24deg, but they'll have a day to get used to it and if they got through last week in 22deg, they will hopefully not be too badly affected.
YOU GET WHAT YOU SETTLE FOR.

I was at Jihad on Saturday and yes it was 21 degrees.
But 1pm Perth Vs 2pm Melbourne means a much higher sub angle.
Perth is 6 degrees North of Melbourne, add in an hour earlier start and Sun is close to 15 degrees higher. That is a biggie!
The temp in full Sun could well be high twenties tomorrow.

Trying to justify your argument. It might stay over 20 degrees for about an hour. It shouldn't affect them, in fact if the Saints players get hot you can bet the Freo players will be also. That evens itself out. If St.Kilda loses it's because they weren't good enough on the day not because it was 24 degrees. Get a grip!saintspremiers wrote:I was at Jihad on Saturday and yes it was 21 degrees.
