I didn't need facts to see that Pedo was carrying condition and I called it before pre-season had even started last year as did others. He ended up losing 10 kgs so you I'm assuming you saw him post weight loss. And I'm not calling these blokes fat. Because clearly they're not.

I don't mean to sound condescending, but if you've played any reasonably high level sport and have undertaken any sort of skin fold testing it's actually quite easy to tell who is carrying and who isn't.

At AFL level, it stands out. Kent is in the same boat as Pedo. Clearly, he is unsure of what an AFL athlete's lifestyle looks like. Just by looking at him, there's no doubt he could get his skinfolds down through both his diet and working harder on the track. 

I spoke to a MFC player delisted at the end of 2016, said Kent is one of the worst at the club for skinfolds...

We are definitely in the market for a Ruckman after Spencer's delisting .

I doubt that they will go for a young project player, but word is that North will trade one of theirs .

Pruess, Daw or Goldstein, which one?

It will be Goldy and he won't be cheap. He is also on big coin.  He won't be our target.

trading for a reserve ruck is a tough one ...

ideally you want a KPP who can ruck. If not you are after a back up that sits at Casey... who would want that job and would we be prepared to give up anything (pick or player wise) for such a player

Lol, doesn't surprise me. He reminds me of Darren Lehmann (playing days) in a Melbourne jumper.

But we do now because a poster on an internet forum said something!:P

FWIW I suspect you're right but I was interested to see if anyone knew more to back up what was a pretty distasteful comment if it was just uninformed opinion.

Is this guy worth a season or two

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-09-20/why-isnt-vfl-ruck-star-nick-meese-playing-afl

 

THE RAW numbers will blow you away.  

This Northern Knights product is a five-time VFL Team of the Year ruckman, including in each of the past four seasons.  

His 1088 hit-outs and 273 to advantage in the 2017 home and away season dwarfed the next-best in each category, Box Hill's Hawthorn-listed Marc Pittonet (554) and Werribee's Kangaroo Braydon Preuss (119).  

No rival VFL big man averaged more than his 5.1 clearances or 6.8 tackles per game, either. 

He is fifth in contested possessions (9.3) among that group, too.  

What might surprise you more is that Williamstown strongman Nick Meese, the man in question, has no AFL suitors. Again. 

And probably never will, given he turns 29 on Saturday.

Could someone please make up a rumour to get this thread back on track. 

The Club has agreed with Jesse Hogan to allow him to move back to be with Ethan and his Mum. They have also agreed to trade Jack Watts there so someone will dress him with the appropriate East Coast boardies. 

Hows that work for you. 

Oh yes. This comes from a very strong sauce. Not BBQ either.

Kent has had back issues which have impacted in his capacity to train and reach the desired fitness levels

We have been down this track a thousand times, Pedo assumed (he told me this) he was to carry on with the weight he was in previous seasons under Roos. He was wrong and embarked on a program to shed the weight, this proved not only a chance to prolong his career but a benefit to the team

I have also spoken to Kenty a few times, his issue and his constant frustration, works his arse off to get fit and then finds new way to get injured and has to start again. Just wants a clean run at it, no post season ops or back issues so may get the chance for full pre season.

They won't be getting a 29 yr old ruckman.

At 29Yrs old, he won't be too expensive, or he'll be too much?

What would you guess, Redleg?

Not sure I understand your post. Goldy is on a big contract that the club who gets him will have to pay. Also Roos will want a good pick or player for him.

The posters that don't provide that will be judged accordingly. And I wasn't responding to your tiers - I was responding to the lack of rumours up in here.

C'mon people?! Someone go read bigfooty or something...

I can't read...

Oh, he's still contracted . I see.

What do you reckon about Preuss.  His numbers are excellent for a Kid.  Would they trade a kid?

    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

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield.
