If you don't think 6 day breaks have a MASSIVE impact on the players and their chance of injury and general fatigue, have a read of David Misson's book.

They have a huge impact. Our excellent conditioning staff over the last 5 years have minimized the impact, but make no mistake - 6 day breaks, especially three in a row, make the players' job a lot harder.

Oh what would Missen know.....the goofballs on here seem to know exactly what it's like to recover from an AFL game of football so they must be speaking from experience!

Anyway it's great that we have Missen to help assist in the recovery times


oops hang on.....oh dear...... that's right he walked out..... seems to be a common theme developing


Why do we get screwed over every year with 6 day breaks?

How is it possible that the same club every year seems to get the most six day breaks?

Actually the draw looks good, except I thought the AFL was ditching Monday night Football.


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.
