McBean :thumbsup
-
Edwards.... :banghead :lol
-
Mcbean will be a monster when he gets to 110 kegs
-
Edwards put on weight before last season and went backwards.
Physical strength has never been, nor ever will be, a strength of his.
Agility is his best attribute, and you cant have bulk and agility.
-
ELLIS, +3 and still has the endurance, whoa.... :clapping
-
McBean :thumbsup
Was 84kg when drafted from memory. A gain of 9kg in total. Probably another 7kg to go. Any more and it might affect his agility and playing style.
-
I see fat boy Mcdonahue lost some weight

please explain?

McDarrou
is mcdarrou too short for a kpp stuff
-
Has Lennon or any of the new blokes put on weight since they have arrived at the club or are we only measuring increases across a year?
-
McDarrou

Doesn't matter for someone that pushes the world down when he does push ups :clapping

Pretty sure he's saying massive bulk doesn't affect sprinters in the Olympics so it shouldn't affect Shane Edwards.
FFS can't you see that?

Well...you had better let all other codes of sports know that one al, Rugby, UFC, Boxers, Olympians.....and you reckon my comments don't make sense.
There are some big framed sportspeople out there pal and they are extremely agile!!!!
BTW with or without his "bulk" :lol.......he has amounted to nothing more than a fill in player.
-
seriously?
who is more agile? Garlett or cloke?
Some big men may be agile, for a big man, but smaller lighter framed players will generally run rings around them, literally, when it comes to agility.
simple laws of physics will tell you that more mass, that hardier it is to stop quickly and or change direction quickly.
@Hard Roar Tiger, not sure if you are taking the pee or not, but sprinters have speed, not agility. They run in a straight line from point A to B as fast as possible, which is not agility.
-
Vickery slowly reaching 100kg 8)
Was hoping Grimes would be a couple of kilos more to handly some big forwards more.
-
McBean now the same weight as McDustin Fletcher from McEssendon. Musnt be far off....
-
Vickery slowly reaching 100kg 8)

lol you want him to do a hammy every day ?

Sure beats twice a day.

Shank only ever adds weight/muscle to his arms and upper body. Still has the same chicken legs he's always had.

All good Al :thumbsup

Elton 197/100.
Darrou 190/97.
Wouldn't mind seeing these dudes play in the NAB. Sounds like they have some bulk now. And will be interested to see if Griffiths and Astbury have progressed at all or if it's all just stuff.
-
I'd like to know when we last had 6 players on our list over 200cms - we might see 4 of them in the side at once this year with Hampson, Vickery,McBean/Griffs and Maric all looking like options.
Wonder if Foley or Kingy have ever been shortest on our list before?
We look tall for the first time in a few years :thumbsup

Plus they are no lumbering giants either. Hampson, Vickery, Griffiths and McBean are all relatively quick and agile.

Particularly Vick's, especially at ground level.....who would think eh, big and versatile...well I never... :whistle
-
2m tall midfielders? woweee
-

3 and proves your point was invalid.. :wallywink
-

Oh my! too much, too much!
Excitement. Very much, much.

Well times that by all the other teams and bigger bodied players in the comp and it blows your pathetic theory out of the water..
Hate it when you are wrong don't you...now back to point 2...????

:banghead :banghead
SNIP!!! enough with the personal insults stick to discussing/debating the topic
-
Ok lets just this straight WAT
Not only do you believe that increasing body mass will not affect a persons ability to stop and change directions quickly, you think that it is ludicrous to even think it will, and anyone that does believe that is an idiot?

but can they mark or even dominate in the air by competeing.
im still asking, if theres one proven ruckman there in maric, how many 200cm plus key forwards have been succesful. and what attributes makes for a succesful key forward. if i wanted quick and agile and decent at ground level id recruit a small. these attributes are only really worth something if they can combine them with the attributes needed to perform their primary role first.

Ok, let's al.
Here is your original post I commented on:
"Edwards put on weight before last season and went backwards.
Physical strength has never been, nor ever will be, a strength of his.
Agility is his best attribute, and you cant have bulk and agility."
Edwards put on weight and went backwards ? When the hell was he ever forwards. He could put on 10kg or lose 10kg and it wouldn't affect his agility, it doesn't affect all players, end of story and over the years do you honestly think it's affected Edwards. I have heard very excuse for Edwards over the years and this one pretty well topped them all. Richo was agile, Carey was agile! Cameron is agile, there are many players in the AFL that are big or who have bulked up that have kept their agility, likewise many other sports people.....this had nothing to do with Edwards poor form, now that's only my opinion.
I will take injury as a reason that's affects agility, Nathan Brown for example...
Anyway mate, that's just my thoughts.
-
all those big blokes are agile for a big man, it's all relative.
their agility will not match a that of an agile small.
the more you bulk up, the more likely it is to affect your agility.
it a pretty straight forward concept.
as for the comment about edwards going forward, even you acknowledged he played some good footy in 2012, and what he produced last year was not to that standard, was it not? so he went backwards.

He did go backwards I am not sure we can put it down to agility though, all his career he just seems to be one or two games off really nailing it, he just never has.

reckon shane eswards played at his optimum in 2012. trouble is his optimum is average. any drop away at all and he becomes mediocre. ffs we have had 7 yrs to be able to come to this assesment.

:lol ;)....I did what I said, I stuck to my word, I supported him without criticism....again though I hope he has a great year but FFS, I have been saying that for 7 years now....WHEN SHANE, WHEN??? :-\
-
Why not just accept that he is a role playing foot soldier who will tease on occasion, that great heights are beyond him, and move on? You're no different to Shane, same thing every year ;D
-

I will come back to this thread in about another 35 pages when something sensible actually gets talked about instead of just utter crap!!!!

::) :whistle

Needs to play forward not midfield. Oh and if bulk didn't effect agility why don't we recruit this guy and use him as a high half forward?
