Running is heavily focused on mindset.

5k run as a recreational runner is enough on its own cant imagine the motivation/desire needed to double that and maintain reasonable pace!

10k is just torture on the feet/shins

We were doing it up Rathmines Rd too. All around Rathmines oval, up that effing hill and all around the parks and back up another huge hill.

Being on here for so long the losses sort of dull you over the years.

But when you isolate them along with other important games EF/SF its wild how badly we have performed in them over the last decade.

Then to rattle your brain further our record in prelims(retired players say is the hardest game to win) is almost perfect 9-1 or something.

WTF SYDNEY!

Haha yes. Just like Glenelg used to be. Except they generally didn't get flogged. Just lost them. Sometimes by as little as 1 point. But still lost 9 out of 15.

Grand finals are statistically the most likely fixture in a season to be a blow-out. The final 'round' of a season (round 28, in this year's case) has the largest average winning/losing margins of any round. Even though it is often between each year's two best sides, so should be an evenly-matched game. But it seems like if there's enough of a chasm on the scoreboard early, it can send the two teams in opposite directions - the team with the lead gets empowered, grows in confidence, and plays better than they have all year; the team trailing loses hope, feels the pressure, and plays worse than they have all year.

I think the first 30-40 minutes of a grand final are extremely important in that regard. That is when it's determined whether a grand final is going to be a contest or a walkover. Needless to say that period in games was never our strongest this year.

Oh great, GWS in the preseason AGAIN.

Because 3-4 times a year for the last 5 years isn't enough.

HUZZAH !
