VFL Rd 1: Northern Blues vs Footscray at Footscray

[cimm1979]

When JGM joined Carlton prior to pre-season he was listed at 95kg. After his first pre-season you can expect 2 or 3 kg more which probably puts him in the 98kg class.

That ain't fragile! :o But I appreciate it doesn't mean strength either.

Keep in mind The Hyphen was one of the heaviest player on Carlton's list but never looked like it! But he had bones like a Hereford Bull, which says something about how hard Diesel hits!

Buddy would have eaten him alive and picked his teeth with the bones.

This guy is suited to Sam Reid/ Schache types who are naturally lean or underdeveloped.

Doesn't mean he won't play this year, but he needs the right match-up.
