Peaks and troughs of intensity
A continual demanding load through the season is counter-productive...it leads to burn-out and injury.
Russell and the fitness crew should be all over it.
The season would have been planned well in advance to peak at the right time of the year...and in thatb process there would be times of heavier and lighter loads.
If we are to have a week off or low intensity it would have been planned well in advance.
The greater issue will be the mental impact of the bye and having the players ready to go in the right frame of mind against Hawthorn.
