Past #15: Paul Ahern - delisted after 24 NM games/6 NM goals - thanks Pauly

You don't need to look like a bodybuilder to be a ripping footballer see Daniel Wells, Dane Swan, Jeremy McGovern et al.

Jared Waite!

 

[GarnerSmash]

I think he looks lean enough but certainly doesn't look ripped like most the other boys. Lucky he is as skilled as anyone so strength might not be an issue for him.

Saw him pre Christmas and is noticeably leaner. Another 18-24 months.

I reckon we should trade him for pick 68.

We got him for pick 69. Thats good profit on the investment.

24 hours a day. 56 weeks a year.

TRIM!

(I'm aware of how many weeks in the year there are but this was too good an opportunity not to use a quote from Good Luck Chuck)

With Ahern, Higgins, Cunnington, Tyson, Hall = 5 x 25 disposal a game mids. Watch out.

For Pick 68, surely we could get a future pick as well..
Somebody would have to owe us at least one?

Oh yes.

Nothing wrong with those knees.

Polec averaged 25 this year for Port, so we’d probably hope he’s in that list.

 

[Falkroo]

Averaged 21 touches last season, with a full pre-season under his belt, could average around 26 touches for the up coming season and beyond that, i reckon a sub 30 touch match will be considered just a fair game.
Some players really have to work their guts out to get to the footy, this guy seems to draw it to him. When his body adapts to the rigours of pre seasons and season workloads, this guy will be unstoppable

Dumont could take that next step too. Exciting times.

Have a look at his TOG figures.

He ranked one of the lowest in the entire comp for players over 10 games played.

The amount of clearances, goal assists, i50’s and disposals he got with those TOG figures are actually nuts.

If he simply gets up to 80%+ alone, without his added running ability between contests he’s already averaging 26+

Will be interesting who teams tag - there’s going to be real quality running around loose

Good times

They should tag Polec as Higgins beats the tag

don’t need to be big to be strong

Yep. The media talk about our inability to land a "big fish", well once this guy gets going - he is going to be it !!

Needs to go down a jumper size.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Strength isn’t going to be issue with paulie, you can see through his trunk (core/hips and legs he is always going to have that really solid foundation!

Clubs won’t know what to do with him when he & Polec start getting the footy and doing damage on the outside!

 

[darko]

Looks slim as. Hopefully a full time midfield gig.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Svelt.

 

[Bigeasy]

He might of trimmed down in the torso but those thighs.
