I jsut got the Melbournefc Magazine today in the mail and was just flipping through it and had a look at the list and noticed that their weights seemed to differ significantly from those listed on the official website. The weights below are what is stated in the magazine compared to the website.

Bartram: +5kg

Buckley: +7kg

Davey: +5kg

Ferguson:+8kg

Johnson: +5kg

Jones: -3.5kg

Mclean: +4kg

Newton: -1kg

Rivers: +5kg

Sylvia has grown 2cm and Robertson has grown 3cm. haha

    I beleive batram has put weight on during the year whilst playing, which is very odd, considering the large amount of running, and only small amount of weights they do over the course of the year. Even if you have a completly mesomorphic physique, there is no way you can put on that amount of weightt in such a short period of time. Strange. I saw in a previous post you played for Scotch, you still play old boys?? What year did you finish???

    a young player like bartram could put weight on during the year, especially because his body is still growing and maturing. he would naturally bulk up a bit if he wasnt doing anything beforehand...

    Keep in mind also that one of the reasons Clint was taken so low in the draft was that he was quite badly injured at the end of 2005 (I think) If he was out for a long time, it's conceivable that once he returnded to training he started to develop, simply because of the fact he was working hard again.

    Is there a possibility that those weights lidted in the mag are up to date, and the ones on the site are old? It seems to match that kind of correlation. Apparently Jones has been losing weight. Buckley has nearly doubled in size. Newton looks like he's gone backwards. All fit correctly.

    BTW, which Johnson is +5kg? I hope it's Chris.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
