They probably are but they're also a far more seasoned outfit and more mature bodies so they should be as well.
Agreed, i would hope thats all it is and not a training thing, i hope our fitnes department is up to AFL standards and will start to show, i thinik it is far better than it has been in recent season just by looking at how fit the new kids and even the older blokes look.;
Rubbish article, he actually didnt even say that, he was quoted saying the fitness level as a core group isnt what he is used too. Media turn that into Richmond arent as fit as crows. How about we ask Maric and Knights what they think about Richmond and they will probably tell you they got a feel good vibe training in Cairns with the players and heirachy then youll probably see the media make the head lines Richmond much more trustworthy and feel good than the crows.

With all due respect PRR, when someone suggests the fitness level as a core group isnt what he is used to and the tigers(said core group) is what he was used too, tipping all the media did is cut to the chase and printed exactly what the fool wanted to say.
The hidden message in all this garbage is, that here we are climbing the walls with boredom in the off season, cant imagine the excruciating nothingness that people in SA are going through, seeing that a total irrelevant like Gus actually gets interviewed for some press.
Don't think people should be so quick to dismiss this.
We did lose a lot of close games, so there might be something in it? I don't think so though as we didn't get steamrolled really.
And it's not like Gus was ever winning the time trials with us.

They coerce these types of responses from just about every club-swapper and unsurprisingly every team that a player lands at is fitter and trains harder than their previous team... Wouldn't read too much vitriol into it.
I think it was maric minor who said training was much harder at the Tigers than at Melbourne, and some of the supporters of his old club said something like that is just an excuse to try and make him look better at his new club because whilst he was talented he was also lazy.
Someone on this thread has already pointed that out about Graham (without the talented bit).
He's just making an excuse so his new team mates don't ostracise him for being lazy: "It's not my fault I collapse with full body cramp every time we go for a 20 metre run, it's my old club that made me this way. I can change, I not a pea hearted, pig lazy waste of a space on your list. Honest."
Yeah right.
I do reckon Adelaide are probably fitter though, going by the way they played us this year, but from memory, they were also a hell of a lot more experienced.

Is anyone actually surprised that this guy is announcing to everyone that he is the unfittest player at Adelaide and that is Richmond's fault? Easy to look for a scapegoat.
Im not. Its like he was disappointed last year that Maric didnt come up for the Gold Coast game - his lack of fitness was on show for everyone that afternoon.
This dud would be the unfittest player in a team of under 9's.

I was trying to find out wtf full body cramp is how Angus got it.
I found this:
I get full body cramps before my period.

It's all so much clearer to me now.

imo strongest in fixed weight tests maybe yet put a 5ft 4 bloke on him and he turns into those air monsters at car yards.

Lol Gus. When both teams are out of your sight on the 3k time trials it's pretty difficult to decipher whose fitter.

Okay we all know Gus is a useless piece of craP, however, without worrying about him what do we as a group think of Richmonds fitness level in general? For the last couple of years I have been concerned about the way we have started the year. We have been overrun by Carlton and secumbed to pressure at the end of games. Ten minutes into the last quarter we were less than a goal down and got spanked. The year before same thing and also collapsed in StKila game and in the end was lucky to get the draw after having a good lead with ten minutes to go. There are a lot of examples where Richmonds fitness levels could be questioned. Many games where with 5 to 10 minutes remaining we have lead by two or more goals and could not run it out. I put it down to players unable to stand up under pressure and immature youngsters. I am asking the question again, do any others think it could be that our fitness is not up to the level of others in the comp?
i think our fitness is on par with young players unable to maintain it for 4 q's. as they get older this will increase. our best 22 will change with knights and chappy with another year for our other young players.
he'd be one of the unfittest players on anyones list, let alone the Crows.
Good Luck to Gus. I hope he gets supremely fit.
I can't remember who was the last 'super fit spud' at an AFL Club.
Graham - Hard as a rock and moves like cement.

Is the ANY footage anywhere on the net of this clown cramping up on the wing, unable to get himself off the field, and trainers having to drag him off?
It's pretty funny.

I was speaking to a Richmond player (frequent 22'er) the other day. He labelled Gus, and I quote; "an absolute ******". I'm glad the players saw what we fans also saw.
This is the second time that Graham has been in the paper within a matter of weeks.
Who the hell is this guy?
No wonder Tippett wanted to leave Adelaide so badly.

If we had an OUNCE of poise we would have won a afair chunk of those close games.
We pumped the ball inside 50 on more than enough occasions.
Our percentage increased approx 20-30% (happy to be corrected).
The fact a 3rd string ruck says we can't run out a game is possibly the biggest cop out I've come across.
If we could have convert and held possession I the close one would make his comments would be redundant and laughable.
