I saw him at the Food & Wine Festival in Norwood on Sunday.

My God is he SMALL! I've seen him in games, but never up close...I am nearly as tall as him, and I'm easily broader across the chest and shoulders than him. He looked really skinny.

This guy is our full back...wow! No wonder everyone on here wants a new full back...

And guess what? Instead of putting on more muscle in the off-season he actually lost a couple of kilos. This can mean either that he being a smart arse or that AFC want Hentschel to play FB and Bassett as a 3rd tall. Either way he should have put on more muscle.

Or was he concerned about losing more pace, therefore endevoured to lose some weight.
What we don't know was whether the weight reduction was a result of skin fold reduction?
He was never going to be a "gorilla"

Will be interested to know how AFC use Nathan this year, given the development of Hentschel & also with Smarty in the team. Think we just need to get smarter about which defenders we use to match up on particular forwards. The Hound has plenty to offer & always gives 100%.
