Teague last week said he's been unable to to train much all year. You don't look that out of shape at an AFL club unless there is an issue. They'd never allow it.
So why is his approach to training and fitness now being described as unprofessional? And why does he have to complete a specific training block before being considered for selection?
I get that the coach has to stand up for his players but it sounds like Mitch was being a decoy at training too. It’s not a good look for the coach to be saying one thing and the club to apparently contradict his message.
My main concern is how McGovern lost condition this far into the season. I would have expected Russell to pick up any fitness issues before they became a concern.
