Of course young blokes like Hollands, De Koning and others are still growing and filling out, but that’s to be expected IMO.
They are big guys...but do they use that size well?
When Cripps is on he's a beast, but apart from him???
Curnow can (when he wants to)
Kennedy can
But the Adelaide big bodies seemed to be all over our big guys....and yep, that probably is a reflection of the play (and desire to win the ball), but there has to be an element of strength involved.
We probably shouldn't look at how some players might develop because certain body types will never pack on the muscle.
