Gotta be honest, I had a similar thought.
Great pics as usual Pete, thanks.

Marshall is noticeably bigger through the arms and shoulders.
Rioli looks leaner and stronger than I've ever seen him.
JHF is already so nuggety. A good frame for a midfielder.
Sinn's shoulders are ridiculous. He is going to be massive in 2 years.

SPP fullly beast mode, he looks slightly bigger again. Wines,SPP and JHF in that mid rotation, look out.
I’m always wary of our ‘looks bigger/more muscular’ pre-season posts. Too often they seem to end up wishful thinking, shown up when we line up against other clubs (not just Geelong and their miraculous disappearing hairlines and bulging foreheads) and it yet again looks boys next to men.

To be fair, they are professional athletes who go away and do a bit of running but a lot more strength work they can’t do in season. They come back and go from running 25-50kms a week to running 120kms a week. You’re never going to keep the size gained in the off-season throughout Pre season, but you keep lifting the weights accordingly.
It’s almost like we throw a blanket over our group and say one training regime fits all. Bulk Sam Hayes up into a ROB/Darcy/Prues/Nankervis/Neismith type, heavy ruck, he is never going to be an athletic ruck…

When we get to Xmas and just beyond, see our guys looking like the Hulk, meaning that they have done plenty of strength training, but then it fades away - does the "beach muscle" mass diappear with increased hot weather running/endurance training?
If so, do the players retain the core strength they had built up before, just that they look skinny compared to other sides, but still have strength and power?

It's all the club ever does. Just keeps the same cycle of failure in place. New CEO? Nah, just grab Richo. New fitness department? Nah just promote from within. New coaches? Nah just shuffle them about or recruit more ex-port players as coaches.
Need some IT resources? Recruit a hinkley family member.
We are some weird family business who just puts people we know into positions they aren't qualified for.

Junior Rioli looks in decent nick, positive sign i suppose.
Excited for Brynn can be but he needs to bulking up.
Pep's looking good.
Orazio, cool. Stay fit, guy.
Zak in #9 makes my heart skip a beat.

Anyone know why Charlie wasn't at the open training session or did I miss him getting injured (again).

This is the next "hartlett to midfield" meme.
Any reason why you don't use burst mode? The pain in the ass that it is to sort through, edit and store afterwards?

Maybe it’s my inner pessimist or maybe it’s because I’m getting older and grumpier, but the cavalcade of past players in different coaching roles worries me. Hartlett, westhoff, Cornes, lobbe, Carr, Burgoyne, did I miss any one, this is not to say some werent great players just don’t recall many clubs getting around with that many of their own past players in coaching roles at that same club.
I think there is a reality that highly sought after assistant coaches are going to want to work in Melbourne. Therefore, SA and WA clubs have no choice but to use past players.
