Re: Pre-season
Hmmm - look up the photos of him from 2006 (the year he was drafted) - he is skinny, skinny, skinny. Just type in 'Pictures of Joel Selwood playing for the Bendigo Pioneers in Google'.
I know I should know by now how to include an image but I don't and am too lazy to look it up.What should I tell her? She's going to ask.Comment

Re: Pre-season
This photo is Selwood in the lead up to the draft.
This aqnd the on above are him during his first season in 2007.
If anything, this proves how much of a focus it was for Geelong to get their players big quickly.[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Western Bulldogs:[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR="#0000CD"][B]We exist to win premierships[/B][/COLOR]Comment

Re: Pre-season
Cheers GS...that is one of the images I was looking at.
Geelong provide the tools and systems...the player takes advantage and works hard. Selwood was skinny when he was drafted - and that was at the end of a year when he barely plated because of a knee and you would assume he would have been spending some time in the gym.
We shouldn't be scared to draft skinny players. 17yo males are very often skinny...they start putting on weight later on...What should I tell her? She's going to ask.Comment

Re: Pre-season
Listen, there's skinny and then there's very skinny, and then there's famished, then malnourished.
Murphy arrived in the malnourished class, which makes skinny 'normal'.
A normally built kid at the age of 16/17 is ripe for rapid muscle development.
Then there are freaks who are built like gorillas and have side burns in grade 6.Comment

Re: Pre-season
Short, tough session today, had the boys working very hard. Mostly the younger guys training with a spattering of the fitter senior players. Mulligan, Williams, Hargrave, and Lake all did run throughs on the sidelines.
The standout in the match based drills was Dahlhaus, he was starting in the centre bounces and pushing forward and was everywhere. He finished a lot of the plays kicking goals on the run.
The player that really stood out in the running drills was Skinner, he was consistently at the front of the B group and looks to have increased his fitness dramatically.[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Western Bulldogs:[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR="#0000CD"][B]We exist to win premierships[/B][/COLOR]Comment

Re: Pre-season
Thanks Stache.
Good news on Skinner and I am excited to think what Dal might yet become. A player with his speed and instinct with added strength and fitness is a tantalising prospect.....Comment

Re: Pre-season
Its not Clay's size specifically that Mac targeted - he is a bit under 6ft. Its his contested skills - he keeps his feet, fights to get the ball, fights to clear the ball, and fights to stop the opposition from doing either.
that is not crozier's bio - completely different players.Comment

Re: Pre-season
I went down for a quick peek today too. Boys working really hard.
I'm first to admit that I'm not Grant's biggest fan, but he looks like a changed man to me. Firstly looks bigger and secondly didn't look disinterested as he did during the year.
He ran hard the whole time. The last drill had him in a group of about 7, which inlcuded Dahlhaus doing 3 seperate sets of shuttle runs. Dahlhaus won the first set but Grant the last two.
It's make or break next season, so hopefully he has pulled his finger out.Comment
