I think Houli was 85kg last year. So he's lost 3kg. Morton is listed as 81kg. Was 86kg not long ago

I don't have an issue with that. Thursfield is best suited to playing as a third tall.
He is NOT a stuff and has been punching out of his weight division.
If the loss of weight helps with an increase in speed and endurance and enables him to play on players such as LeCras it may well save his career which is on tenterhooks. Be interesting to see how Wil goes this year. Make or break.

He's not going to get a game as third tall. McGuane and Astbury will probably start the season FB and CHB with Kel Moore as 3rd tall. Then you have the likes of Grimes and Gourdis pushing for selection. Thursty has played most of his career on talls. He might do alright playing on some smaller blokes but I don't think he's the answer when it comes to shutting down the small forwards who have ripped us to bits over the years.

Hope he can get back into the side at some stage though.

Good point magic. Overall, we are finally starting to look more afl sized as a list. Young talls look especially encouraging.

Agree with that. Astbury is going to be a gun, IMO.

We look to have alot more promising tall forward options with afl experience than Melbourne do. Griffiths, Post, Reiwoldt, Vickery are all 195cm+ and Taylor is 192cm. As for Melbourne they have Watts at 195cm+ and Bate, Dunn at 192cm. That's where I feel we'll overtake them in a year or 2. They have a short forward line

na hes done well to put on a kilo again with a type like hicks it will take many seasons not one to gain any significant weight gain. with him it will be about core strength and pace. hicksy as far as weight goes is the proverbial work in progress.
keeping his pace is critical he wont bulk much but thru the core is also critical. remember even for a body builder 4 kg of actual muscle  in a season is a good return.
