Walsh Watch?

Didnt seem to be in the best players....Nick Holman is another we should add to the watch list, I am on his bandwagon along with Walsh...

It was good he stepped up in Graham's absence.

They are grooming him for another run with player though, that is my only concern.

We are the only senior side that seems to employ a tagger anymore and we have Curnow and now using Whiley.

Didn't we have Armfield, Curnow and Whiley at one stoppage.

Please god, no more taggers.

Been getting more of the footy has Holman and I think he is less negative than Curnow or Whiley...kicked a pressure goal the week before
and being a leftie I think he is a bit more constructive with the football..

Agree we dont need any more taggers but we do need some kids who can find the footy and be discplined......Holman can also play off the half back flank
and is a decent size at 189cm......the way Walker was using the footy I'd take anyone back there ...

Jones 198? He looks way smaller than Casboult. Not doubting you, just surprised.

I bumped into Jones in a JBhifi store and was surprised at how tall he was but shocked at how lean he was. I'm talking girl arms !!

Did you talk to him ?

Did you talk to him ?

Nah. It was a week or so before the start of the season. I was genuinely surprised at how tall he was, but equally concerned at how skinny he was.

Footballers are very lean these days, even the solid looking ones are skinny next to the average guy.

Very true!  My son in law pointed out Cameron Wood to me when he was at Collingwood and I couldn't believe that he was an AFL footballer.

My son was being fitted for a suit when Hamish McIntosh came in for a fitting.  My son, who is officially a centimetre or two shorter than McIntosh, made him look quite small.

A couple of seasons back, most players tried to put on a few kgs but they have all shed that weight now.  If I remember correctly, Levi was well over 100kg but has now dropped to 99kg.
