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).

Silvani? Liberatore? DiPierdomenico? Barassi?

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!

Out - Garland, Howe, Grimes, Michie, M Jones.

And there we have the making of a team.

Garland or Howe will stay (at least one of them). Need to maintain our defensive unit

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.

Petracca does need to drop a few kgs to get around the midfield and put less stress on his body.

Remember this fatso when he got to the club.

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

I'm sure that Misson and the other fitness staff would be seriously monitoring his weight/ skin folds/ muscle mass

If they are happy, then I'll trust their judgement.

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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
