FOS looking noticeably stronger and fitter too.

He is going to be a beast. Kind of insane how unsung he's been in the wider footy world, might be our most exciting kid (bar Sheezel)

****wits in the media don't notice those types unless they play for one of the big six. On one hand, it pisses you off. On the other, you know he'll be able to continue doing what he does uninhibited

They'll rue the day they didn't put a FOS highlight package on First Bounce in his first year, don't worry zoomb.

 

[JGreezy]

Comparing his good leg.

Chalk and cheese.

Also, why has Curtis lost 10kg’s….

Are you saying that you're worried about Curtis's strength? I'm not.

Curtis being lean is a great thing. Hopefully he can push up into the middle more.

 

[Zondor]

I love how Whitlock has grown his hair out. Looks good. :stern look

I’ll keep saying this to no end. He has had one of the best 1st years that has gone unnoticed.
He reliably has beaten his direct opponent, rarely turns it over and his football intelligence around position doesn’t show up on stat sheets.
He could be a Luke Hodge and play his career off half back and pinch in the middle.

Oh, I thought it was Larkey ... must be a funny angle :-D

Yep. bloke is gonna be that good. Trying to think who he's reminds me of .... maybe a cross between Robbie Flower and Ross Glendinning

He seems like he will grow into a good bloke too. He looks a loyal type and he looks like he will play his role no matter what. I look forward to the day he grabs a game by the scruff of the neck

He's the player that I trust most to make the right play, in any situation.

 

[Mathiasp]

Does anyone know if traininghis Monday or Tuesday next week?

 

[speedy]

He’s exactly what you’d expect a water polo player who takes up footy would play like.

Worse than drafting a steeplechaser.

 

[DuckYeah]

Worse than drafting a steeplechaser.

A 200cm elite middle distance runner? Water polo players have ticker and are fit.. is it worse than a 200cm runner? Could be good but midfielders win the ball in tight and need to use it on the inside or out.. usually need to be skilled with ball in hand to be a good midfielder. Just look at where Jy is at right now.

My obscure way of pointing out that transitioning late from another sport into footy isn’t impossible.

He reminds me of Flower, I recall a blind turn he did last season which was uncanny.

The fact that he wears 2 also helps.

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

I’d rather the boys be fit than big and bulky.

Many would be 1-2kg heavier which wouldn’t show up in pics unless there’s the right angles and lighting/filters.

Only ones I would want to see bigger are the 2/3 year guys, which most of them have.

Would’ve loved to see FOS, Zane and Colby be a bit more muscular but oh well.

Its November, they have 3 months.
