    Through the years I don't think we have been under-sized in the weight division.

    It was just that we played so many 1st & 2nd year players last year that it was noticeable, but it always takes 2 or 3 pre-seasons for these guys to fill out and mature which is what we are seeing now.

                He certainly looks to have put on some size. He was monstering Cordy in the match simulations, but he needs to improve his kicking. He looks to be reaping the benefits of an uninterrupted preseason.

                        Looks like Tory Dickson.

                            Definitely.

                            It's just nice to see Roughead, Panos, Jones, Tutt and co. with some good size to their frames now.

                                Great job all concerned.
                                Can't get over how big our draftees are!
                                Smith and Tallia for 18 y/olds are huge.

                                            Yes. But it is our job as hardcore fans to assume they might have overlooked it.

                                                        Not just size, but speed and athleticism of the game has improved out of sight as well.

                                                            Tutt has filled out a lot - he is turning out to be a suprise packet.
