[jackster83]

So tomorrow it all begins... get excited

I just want to see who needs to spend some time in fat camp. Really hoping McAdam comes back in good shape.

Please Tex transfer your unneeded kilograms directly onto EH’s biceps, thus improving both players

How is Johncock tracking?

 

[TexForPM]

Could we play Big Ezy, Frampton and The Fog in the same team?

If Himmelberg switches back to defence where he mostly played his junior footy absolutely

Great to hear Tex has dropped some weight, think it will do him wonders. Hopefully he can lose a little more come the start of the season and have a really strong 2020.

Could you play Fog, Ezy, Frampton forward?

I wouldn't ...No

Why?

Apparently Swole Eggplants are ruuuude !

As a 6’2” bloke myself, I can say with great authority that carrying 105kg is a huge amount of weight. I let myself blow out to that weight after I stopped playing footy at the highest level I reached.

Came back to it for a country club a few years later at that weight and got injury after injury after injury. Went away again and came back to 92kg and haven’t had an injury in 2 years.

There is something about that weight range that shot nearly all my leg and back muscles and joints to high hell.

What you’re saying is the principle of ideal playing weight. Every sport has an ideal weight range. If too lightweight, you’d be bashed up or be pushed aside too easily. Too heavy and you’re likely to be overrun by opponents and sustain more feet/knee injuries.

The modern game is now more a team running game style, and big huge forwards are no longer at an advantage because they’re often fighting against 2 other opponents or in bigger packs. It is therefore a need for big forwards to run more and would benefit them in general to lose some weight to aid in speed/endurance/less injuries.

Yep, and from my experience it’s at best a 2-5kg sweetspot.

If we play two ruckman and Tex isn't in the team then yes

But one of Frampton or Himmelberg has to step up and be the CHF with Fog FF

Who's going to be the official BF training observer / reporter?

Key reports include:
1. Who's put on the most weight
2. Who's looking leaner and fitter
3. Who wins the time trials
4. Who comes last in the time trials
5. Do you think ROB can make a play for lead ruck and push Sauce out of the team
6. How many weeks Brad Crouch is going to miss with foot / groin / hamstring 'awareness'

McPherson out there running in one of the twitter videos so at least his hamstrings haven't burst into flames over the break.

How is Johncock tracking?

Stiffy looks in excellent nick, there is a big chance that we will move him into the midfield in 2020.
