    We've been pretty good at building up the draftees quickly. There is always going to be a Fergus Greene that seem to take a long time to fill out but I suspect Butler will be a lot stronger in just 12 months.

    In just three years English, Lipinski and Lewis Young have all put on a lot of size and strength. Brad Lynch filled out quickly as well

    I think the club does this better than most

    Even Kelvin Templeton was skinny as when he came but ended up a pack breaking hulk.

    Probably to his own detriment given his knee injury really impacted his kicking depth and mobility.
    Before the injury it seemed like every preseason he added 3 or 4kg of muscle.

    WESTERN BULLDOGS

    Established gun: Speedy backman Jason Johannisen's preparations for the 2019 season were derailed by injury but fast forward to the present and the defensive playmaker could hardly be in better shape leading into the Christmas break. Johannisen, who recently became a father, has thrived on an injury-free run and looks likely to break all land-speed records at Whitten Oval.

    Gen next: Exciting ruck prospect Tim English will enter his fourth AFL season a more formidable physical presence after adding 5kgs in the off-season to hit the scales at 105kgs. Importantly, the big blonde has added bulk and strength without sacrificing any of the athleticism and endurance that is crucial to his game.

    New faces: The training form of former St Kilda key forward Josh Bruce has been so eye-catching that he has Dogs diehards salivating at the prospect of his aerial combination with promising pair Aaron Naughton and Josh Schache. Started his campaign with the Bulldogs' youngsters and has already proven a strong target in match simulation. - Ben Collins

    Re: Preseason Training - 2020

    I went to the session this morning and it was good to see so many players looking in picture perfect condition

    I talked to a guy who seems to be in the know and he mentioned that Naughton had added some more size and that Bailey Dale was also performing well

    I shouldn't go to these sessions as the wait until next season just seems too far away

    If we can get Schache, Naughton and Bruce clicking as key forwards we are going to be a handful for other sides

    Based on the photos of recent training sessions, it seems like Naughton, Libba, Duryea & possibly Suckling are the only ones on restricted duties. Does that seem right?

    That is great news G. His skinny build was a worry against those heftier forwards.

    Sam Landsberger is reporting big Timmy is up to 105kg and is the star performer on the track so far.
