6 days, 7 days, 8 days what's the difference?! Geelong had the luxury of being an hours drive from home, where as the Power had to get on a plane and fly home probably on the Sunday.
Given the way clubs operate these days and the infrastructure in place i'm sure by the time the game started all players would've been cherry ripe.
I just dont see turn around time as a legit excuse any more. Hawks won and they had the same amount of turn around, while Richmond had a week and a half!
How's it different a side playing Monday then Sunday as opposed to playing say Sunday then Saturday or Saturday then Friday or even Sunday then Friday?
It's a cop out.
