  1. one too can always find examples of players who reduced a bit of weight and improved their games cherry picking the odd example to prove one's pov proves nothing frankly the whole question is not that big a deal for me. i just thought it worthwhile exploring because it looks a bit of an outlier in today's modern game (not tony lockett's era) where a percentage point here and there can make a difference worth pursuing
  2. i'd agree with you if we were discussing nrl ? i'm reasonably happy with tracc's progress and prospects. I'm not saying outright that 96kg (if true) is too much for him. I just don't know, but it does suggest to me that it's possibly a small concern worth exploring and discussing
  3. well we are "arguing" about his weight based on figures that are a year old for all we know until we get some current verifiable data it is somewhat meaningless i tend to agree that if he was in fact 96kg then at least on the surface this would seem sub-optimal (imho)
  4. i can't see anyone even scoring against us...... barring the usual white maggot bias
  5. how do you know this info is updated for 2019? a year ago it was the same, as it was in last year's club Heartbeat magazine until you know his current weight it is just guess work
  6. (i'm not in any camp) the big problem is we don't know his current weight, and you can't measure it just be looking at photos the 96kg quoted seems to be a figure that is 12 to 18 months old so we just don't know his current weight which could be much less i would think (intuitively) that 96kg for his height and playing afl as it is played now, seems on the high side and, importantly, weight is not a measure of strength. de goey for example is very strong and is taller but lighter than tracc.....just saying
  7. nice to see jessie training the house down, freo style
  8. i wouldn't call 5 years from birth in the uk as "growing up in the uk" he then had a year in singapore then rest in oz. made choice for cricket over footy at 17 his father is australian
  9. it will all be marvel-lous(y)
  10. ouch, fd, that sounds like a nightmare, 36 weeks in plaster
  11. only if his middle name can be changed to sky
  12. only about 328,011,559, not counting illegals ?
  13. fans are hard judges with high expectations and are generally ignorant of what issues players have behind closed doors
  14. that's probably true for 90% of afl players, regardless of club
  15. excellent, and it's a relief to learn you are not a cross dresser (though i would defend your right to be one if it were the case) ?
