Don't wanna critisize any individually but.........

can 1 team contain Ellard, Betts, Jeff, Simmo, AJ and even Army?

These guys are mostly too light on to get consistant rotations at the centre bounces leaving us short on rotations and we seem to get monstered for strength against the more physical teams.

Not sure it's just a case of being young, most of them will always be lightweights.

more than that, look at the general size difference between our boys and thier opponents. Hendo and Bower in particular get monstered at times as KPP. They both need to spend significat time in the Gym putting on some significant muscleand bulk.

Hey, don't give people like Robbo from the Hun a grabline to write another article against us.

While we're young it is smart to play fast and not-so physical (if you 'aint got it you can't flaunt it). With 2-3 years more build up of muscle and tank will come the full package with these guys. Hang in there! All those names you mention are good kids.

Cazz was spruking mid year that Bower bench presses more than anyone at the club @135kg, with Levi the rookie coming in 2nd @130.

We are getting mostered physically all over the park.

I would kill for a Mark Ricuitto right now.

Always thought Murphy could be our ablett until i saw them toss the coin last week. Ablett was huge next to Murph.
We gave up age and games and most of all 4kg's per player against the cats.

We need to get some Kg's on the list.

Ellard doesn't play as a lightweight. Terrific tackler, strong body player, despite his lack of height.

Physically yeah we are a slight team - especially in the back half. Remember Jamo on Hall? Jeez. Really noticeable last week against Geelong and also against Collingwood and Hawthorn.

However a few players - Ellard, Jeff, perhaps AJ - play above their weight.
