Who gives a [censored] about his body shape. Just be happy he's back running and kicking a footy. [censored] some of you are just depressing, you'll find anything to have a whinge or be negative ab

Two points 1. He's almost certainly carrying a bit of extra weight due lack of hard running while recovering but he is a solid lad. 2. What sort of a sicko pervs on their Mother in law?

For those unaware, 'Knightmare' from bigfooty is considered THE authority on draft prospects. Pasted below is his pre-draft discussion of the Truck, found at:

SNIP

There are better 'authorities' over there than Knightmare.

He's just the most prolific.

He looks like he can play but what school did he go to?

Also- the Italians are not known for their bravery or love of physical contact (footballing).

Better be careful DA or you will have DazzleDavey trying to tell you how to think

Yeah good luck digging your way out precious.Just proved what a lightweight.you are.

Anyway back on topic with all the write up on his physic you only have to look at Jake Stringer and the way he uses his strength. I think if anything needs to focus on its building up his endurance. He will be a long way back in terms of fitness.

Considering what this thread was meant to be about, what a pile of [censored] it turned into.

Disappointing.

I'm glad he's back moving around with a ball in his hand already, he must be over the moon.

I'm with HH, I'm excited to see Petracca and Hogan together, adds another dimension and some more physicality.

Causes scoreboard damage too!

I'm not critical of his shape, just genuinely surprised he is so good at basketball as he is built like a rugby player.

I think we all need to give thanks he isn't another Morton/Gysberts/Toumpas type.

Talk about weird shape for a basketball player, check out Vince Wilforks moves in the first ep of Hard Knocks last week.

A lot of work to do, carrying extra weight is not going to help.

Tony Lockett was hardly thin

Didn't seem to hold him back

Problem is he is not even fat or overweight.. some posters on here are seriously over exeggerating.

He is the same build and size as Ollie Wines and yet he moves well and isn't affected by his biggish frame. You never hear port say he is too big or overweight?

Got to laugh sometimes

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
