Strong Bodies

[jnrmac 20,276]

Much has been made of Lucas Cook (196cm/81kg) and Jack Watts (196/91) light frames.

But it doesn't seem to have stopped plenty of others with light builds from doing well.

From yesterday

Gunston 193/81

Suckling 187/82

Stratton 189/82

Schoenmakers 193/86

Shiels 183/80

Savage 185/80

Young 187/87

Smith 188/77

Bruest 184/76

A Johnson 193/84

That to me seems like a lot of light frames. Seems to me you can't have all lighter bodies without some big ones around to take the main heat. Hence Neeld is looking for someone to add to Mitch Clark.

But it doesn't explain why Cook can't crack a game in the Casey 1sts. Is he simply no good??

It's about intent as well as build. You'd have to think the reason a highly touted junior cant crack a game in the VFL is because he's softer in the head than he is in the arms.

Shoenmakers got monstered by Tippet and Cloke and imo was lucky Sydney dont have a key forward of any true worth, Goodes rotating

all dont play KPP, Watts has been fine playing 3rd man in defence ect or wing.

Gunston is the best example and he plays behind Franklin, Roughead and Hale compared to us just having Mitch/ no even for half the year

I think it is harder to judge than this tbh

The jury is still out Jnr.

However I can see them getting ready to come back through the door.

If he is still on the list then 2013 will want to be one hell of a lot better than 2012.

I am prepared to go early

Nah
