    Last time I checked there was no magic solution for a degenerative knee.

        BMac will just have a word to it and educate it about what is required.

            But surely if Warnie can grow back his own hair, then Cooney can grow back a knee cap and cartillage?

                            For us or the players ?

                                        Another one just popped up with the coach about the draft, they say Eade had a no dickhead policy watching the new coach he is really full on with having good people/players off the field.

                                            Sherman must have blinded the recruiting boys with his charm and good looks.

                                                Why do we need to get bigger?

                                                The whole 'pushed off the ball' thing? I am so tired of hearing about that. Dalhaus was a skinny whippet and seemed to cope just fine. Hooper looks like a key on legs and can't get near it...

                                                What is the player type we are after? If Geelong is the model, Selwood played in a GF in his first year and was pretty darned skinny back then...it takes all kinds and all body shapes.

                                                    This is the one thing that I haven't particularly agreed with on McCartney's behalf.

                                                    I don't think body size is the problem -- hell, it was only two years ago we were one of the biggest bodied sides around.

                                                    Whilst we do need a few hardened bodies, I can't see why it's a priority over everything else.

                                                            That's tripe.

                                                            As mjp said, Selwood was skinny, Christensen is skinny, Menzel is lean, Duncan is lean etc. The difference is, they have non-negociables as soon as they set foot in that side.

                                                            It's application - it's not body size. They all get bigger with time, and to pass over Crozier for Clay Smith (for example) would be stupid.
