Kouta's Book Launch

[true_blue_69]

Hey all.....
Just wondering if any of you went to Koutas book launch today.
I did & it was a good turn out of fans.....
Got a few pics of the great one signing books etc
Have read the first few chapters of his book & it is a good read so far even though I am not up to his playing days at Carlton yet..... lol
Among the fans today I noticed Ange Christou (of course he would be there supporting his mate) & got a pic of Sean Hampson..... man is he looking fine from a female point of view.
Samantha Lane was there as well.....
sorry can't post the pics on this forum as they are quite big in size.....
but if you wanna see some send me a pm & I can email some to you if you want.

Cheers!

Did Hammer look to have filled out at all because I heard he's been training hard in the off-season?

although he had 3/4 length shorts on & a T-Shirt...... he did look pretty good & I actually stated to a guy in the line in front of me that it looks like he has been doing a bit of work as he does look a bit bigger across the shoulders...

yes i was here an i saw grigg, jamison, sam jacobs and the haptster and i got to tell you that there is no way that jamison could be a full back he isnt tall enough or bulky enough maybee down the track if he bulks up but hes pritty small id use him on players like alan didak

I was there today - spent two hours in the sun waiting to get the great man to sign it. He is still a man mountain and ripped as ever.

Good to see the Carlton Shop get renovated - looks much better.

Gibbs was there - great size for a midfielder. Struggles to mingle with the supporters though
Jacobs - mammoth boy
Hampson - looking awesome. Bit more bulk and look out
Russell - looking fit as
Jamison - agree with earlier post, looks too small for full back. But who can begrudge based on his efforts this year
Grigg - my pick of the crop. Awesome size and build for a wingman. Seems like a top kid too.

Spot on. He is a top kid.

Did Gibbs and Hampson look to have put on any muscle in the off season?

Not surprised about Gibbs struggling to mingle with supporters at this stage. Always seems like a shy kid but I'm sure he will get more confident in time.

I got there about 1.20 bought 2 books and went and stood there for 1.5 hours for a signature on them. Worth the wait though, it looks like he would have sold a few copies which is good.

He's about 193cm....I'll admit he needs to put on some muscle.

But there is no way that he is too small to play FB.

Yeah that leap is fantastic, lets hope by mid next year he can cement a top 22 position

Glass is 192cm
Scarlet is around the same.
A couple of cm don't mean much when you're full back. It's all got to do with body strength, spoiling ability and body positioning.

Correct. Glass, Rutten and Scarlett are all 192 but the difference is that they all 95-98kg while Jamison is 87kg.
