The more games you play the stronger you must be!

I’m not exactly sure what your point is. I do think Clark is the better prospect but I don’t think I’m breaking any bombshells by saying he clearly doesn’t love the weights room yet.

Brendan goddard went alright for 14 years without a benny cousins-esque rig.
Ben long is built like a weed but steamrolls blokes, while a big unit like jake carlisle folds like origami under the slightest shove.
Biology is weird.

What we have here is a failure to communicate!

Weights never helped the likes of Mav Weller and Tom Curran!
It's not an exact science Hunter prob needs to keep himself light, elusive and a little quicker than if he was built like a brick shithouse!
Don't remember noticing Dal Santo's bulging guns throughout his career! He's fine as he is.
The boy will be a gun!

We were already in trouble from the Lyon era, incredibly poor drafting and horrible salary cap management.
Some do ok without ever getting big.
Clav seems to have the long arms thing happening.

We picked a couple of good ones in Lyons time, just forgot to hold on to them with Cripps, Mc Evoy and Lynch. 2010 to 2016 were pretty dire years. Since then we look like we are improving but only time will tell. Plenty before have looked promising and failed to deliver.

I reckon the 4 most important players on our list right now are King, Clark, Gresham and Long. I think all four have the ability to become A grade players. If they all do then we will be pretty set.
Having a gun forward like King come on would be enormous for us. It would change our dynamic.
Clark and Gresham could still become A grade midfielders in time which will transform our side.
Looking at good teams, they often have a dynamic half-back type. I know Long is early in his journey there but I saw enough over the pre-season and in round 1 to suggest he can be elite in that position.
The other interesting one is Coffield but at this stage he just needs to force his way into the side.
Obviously this is all pretty glass-half-full, but in terms of drafting I guess the proof is in the pudding. Hopefully these guys can all be delicious.

Agreed. Very happy to read about the King vs Howard match-up with both having their moments. Terrific challenge for both

Battle playing down back again.
"while Jonathon Marsh put his hand up to be part of a new-look forward line."
how about
Parker Marsh Membrey
Gresh King Butler

There's still hope for JB, and the other one Jack Bytel is who I'm really waiting to see. And the other other one, Josh Battle.
Not forgetting Jack Bell either!!

First I have heard of Members in doubt for round 2 or haven't I been paying close enough attention?

Aaron Hamill should be taking Marsh aside and showing him old videos of himself. Marsh could be a real enforcer for our young side and there is nothing better than a forward that creates fear for defenders. GTrain and Hamill would have had a few defenders lying awake at night.

I think we definitely will need that protection for King, just as GTrain and Hamill were for Roo and Kosi.
Nothing brought me more joy than watching Parker and Long absolutely demolishing blokes last year, lets hope more of that physicality is on the cards this year.

No to both - its just a very poorly worded sentence.
"Tim Membrey and Jack Steele completed a gruelling session ahead of the main group's appearance on the track, but both are considered in no doubt for Round 2."

I'm a pessimist so when I see they aren't in doubt....I immediately think they are.

I know back in my day when boxing, if you used weights it slowed your arm reflexes down.
Maybe the club have him on limited weights for the same reason.
