Love that article that's what we want to see our kicking getting fixed

I hope AFL.com.au is right and all the preseason training reports are wrong as up till now they have all had a common theme kicking = shithouse , intensity = high.
None of the players looked too thin.
They did all look very lean though.

Witts, Grundy, Scharenberg etc
The whole team

Dynasty sides have never been lean or thinly lean.

Hawks late 80s/early 90s, Lions 01-04, Cats 07-12 etc all bigger sides capable of withstanding and dishing out physical punishment.

The trick is to build mass and endurance over time but all started as bigger builds then built up the tanks to match it takes time and plenty of injuries and poor years till it "clicks".

Thin lean model sides are flag pinchers WC and Swans 05/06 sides spring to mind.

There are other teams?
I have to say that from the pics Jack Crisp is looking in pretty decent nick.

He seems to fly under the radar but I seriously hope that is not the case for us. After his end of season form at the Lions he should be given plenty of opportunity at the Pies. Apart from maybe 10 guys our best 22 is anyone's guess and he could easily fit in it.

Also I look forward to seeing Broomhead and Freeman playing together. I think those 2 working our left side and Pendles and Sidebottom on the right gives us some real punch. Clean clearances with pace and elite foot skills from a stoppage is something we lacked last season.
