Minson Needs to Lose Weight

[Bornadog]

Eade has lost patience with Minson and the Dogs coach intimated the 25-year-old may have to lose up to five kilograms he has gained since being poisoned by soy milk in February to be considered again for the seniors.

"He struggled last week and he's been up and down a fair bit," Eade said after training at Whitten Oval in hot conditions on Thursday morning.

"I think to be fair to him we've got to not underestimate his illness he had with the soy milk."

"He's put a bit more weight on than we expected and he's struggled to get that off, it's all muscle, but I think that's affecting his mobility at the same time so hopefully he can get some form (and) get back in because he's certainly in our best 22."

Re: Minson Needs to Lose Weight

I posted earlier this week that it looked like the game was getting faster. It seems due to his increase in weight, he has just got slower.
At least he now can go back to Willi and work on improving his aerobic capacity

Maybe he can work on his marking, kicking and decision making also!

At Willy he'll be playing as pretty much the sole ruckman if Roughead last week is any indication. Having to do all that work will certainly help him shed some weight and improve his fitness. Doing 80%+ of the ruckwork also helps him get back in form quicker than spending only 40-50% of gametime in the ruck like he's currently doing.

Re: Minson Needs to Lose Weight

I hope that Eade has handled Will's form slump the right way because publically at least it has seemed pretty harsh. For a bloke who isn't even in our best dozen players the scruitiny and media attention has been more akin to big name player.

Hopefully he can regain some fitness and form quickly and get back because it may be a big ask for Roughead to play for an extended period.

At 25, he might have a challenge on his hands

Awesome comment.

I don't know why you waste valuable bandwith with this sort of crap.

Re: Minson Needs to Lose Weight

Being overweight is the reason he gave away 50 mtre penalties and kicked the ball out on the full?
To me he was just making silly decisions, if thats to do with overweight no wonder Christine Nixon is in trouble!

I wish people will stop focusing on a couple of errors.

His main problem is he didn't have a good preseason and therefore has had a slow start to the season. I thought he did well in the second half against the Hawks as well as played ok against Richmond. He just hasn't put four quarters together. He may have made a couple of errors, but god, the number of turnovers last week by players such as Boyd, Griffen, Gilbee was woeful compared to the out on the full and the 50 metre penalty.

I agree - it's worth noting that in my experience, decision making abilities are reduced when you are highly fatigued. With no pre-season & a rush to add weight, I can only assume Will has been feeling the pinch a bit more late in games.

Interesting how some posters only react to certain negative posts yet nothing is said when one poster calls Josh Hill a waste of space.

Re: Minson Needs to Lose Weight

Actually i thought Will was having his best season ever as far as getting the ball and being in amongst the play, its only his disposal that is letting him down and his silly 50mtre penalties(and he has had more than one)
So in writing my last post I was pointing to the only thing I thought was letting him down and to be saying its an overweight problem isnt all true.

Yes you can be buggered but some of his bad disposal has been when he has had a mark or free kick and allowed 30 seconds or so to get organised thinking wise.

Eade must be at wits end sometimes with Minnow and Lake in the same side and their brainfades

I didn't see the Hill comment, I saw this one and I didn't like it.

Re: Minson Needs to Lose Weight

Oh so his kicking, marking and decision making been spot on?... it needs some work! At vfl level the games not as fast or furious as the afl. So a good opportunity to get some form, fitness and confidence!
Dont see how thats crap!!! pfft

That in itself is a problem when the team needs to play on quickly; it allows the opposition to zone up. We moved the ball slowly in H2 against Brisbane and they destroyed us.
