Its unbelievable how much Petraccas body shape has changed. He is looking big ad ripped now! Already bigger then half our midfielders.

Give it 3 years and he will be looking like O Meara from GC

Great pics Thanks

I have been reading some research on salmingrunning.com about aspects of footwear and effects on the body,(feet, legs, knees, hips). One of the things that is mentioned is the effects of heel strike and overstriding.

Many of the pics particularly those when in kicking action show both these factors. There is a shot of Jones kicking and retaining a moderate stride and mid foot contact.

It might be just a small thing but its the detail that your great shots show 666 .

One of the papers evidenced that cushioning of the heel through footwear advances has not reduced injury and may lead to complaceny and lack of consideration of technique. At elite and high performance level these small matters can make a difference.

Hope the correct running and movement techniques are being applied with our footwear supplier and through close appraisal by our fitness, health and coaching staff.

I cant believe Petracca is a draftee.

He's bigger than Ollie Wines, surely?

You are opening Pandora's box with that one Demon16!

Ha - yeh sorry, I'm not going into that territory.

I only used that comparison because Wines is the biggest bodied midfielder drafted in recent years that I can think of. Also has those tree trunk thighs that Petracca has.

Anyway point being that Petracca really does look like a beast already.

Daniel Rich, another one with many tears shed over on here

It was in the paper the other day the Club intends to trim down Petracca to a playing weight of between 88 and 90k, he was 98k on arrival

I would have thought that 88kgs might be too slim, given his natural physique.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if he's already down 4 or 5 kgs from 98. He's big but you can already see he's ripped up a bit since arriving.

Yes but he wimped out of the guns photo haha...think because of his personality, he has become a bit of a target amongst the players, but seems to take it all in his stride, no when I first spoke to him he thought himself he was carrying too much weight was just waiting to see what the club thought

By comparison, Rich is listed as 183 cm and 84 kg, Dangerfield is 185 and 91, Wines at 187 and 94 and Colin Sylvia is 186 and 85 - but I find that one hard to believe.

If Petracca is 188 cm, I would have thought 92-93 kg would be a good weight for his playing style. You would want him to maintain that burst and power he uses so well.

Anyway, TDI could you please explain what you meant by him being a target amongst the players because of his personality?

His mention of the 'fines' he had incurred since he first started, they love winding him up, he has a bright and bubbly personality so is not the type to sulk

Gawny used to be a similar target

Ah ok - just general banter because he's fun to play with type thing.

Nice one - he'll be popular in the group you'd hope, just like Gawn.
