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!

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: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
