Freos skills were better and they look much fitter, the heat and humidity probably favoured them as Fly suggested. eg Williamson looked knackered at 3/4 time and Banfield took him apart in that last quarter.We've no idea what phase of training we are under, high work load, tapering, recovery, etc., etc., it's the main difference between teams at this time of year. Russell can create an apparently poor result just with an appropriately timed heavy weights session.
Some coaches want to see what players can do, others just want players to get injury free miles under the belt.
We've no idea what Teague wants, what he says at a presser at this time of year is unlikely to be related to his closed door message, public commentary as such is just guess work.
