Not sure who you are watching, Scott's athleticism is very good.

im not saying scott needs to put so much muscle that he has a physique of mummy but a few kg. Nic Nat is the most agile and athletic ruckmen in the comp but he is still a beast of a man and rarely gets moves in a ruck contest or marking contest.

not mostly lower body.

Disagree avishka5

Scott is fine the way is he is currently. He'll put on minimal size naturally, we don't want him cumbersome.

biggie im not talking about drastic body change like schofield from 2014-15.
More to do with his lower body and a body in the upper body.

He'll be the 228th Eagle overall, the 10th to appear in the number 22 (behind Sinclair, Graham, Waters, Collica, Stone, Downsborough, Hynes, Ellis and O'Connell - some big names there), the fourth Jon/John (behind Worsfold, Annear and Gastev) and the first player to ever appear for both the Eagles and the Giants. Also one of a select few to appear for the Eagles and Bombers - only Prior, Ilija Grgic, Scott Cummings and Dale Kickett (who played for everyone) have played for both sides.

Didn't Tunny play for the Giants before they were the Giants?

Didn't Tunny play for the Giants before they were the Giants?

Yeah, not counting that though as it was NEAFL only.

Just throwing this question out there. should scott bulk up a tad more? scott to me is a bit similar to Nic in that he's a contested beast and wont really offer much on the outside like a goldy and martin. This year he's been great in the ruck but on some occasions i have seen some bigger ruckmen throw him off the drop off the ball a bit easily. He plays like a wrecking ball and if he has a bit more weight to his frame he would be an absolute weapon in the ruck and when the ball hits the ground but also when he goes forward.

Not getting thrown off the ball isn't just a matter of physical strength/size it's also knowing how to position yourself in a ruck contest and how to hold off your opponent. Size helps no doubt but experience plays its part as well

An increase in size also comes with a drop in endurance and mobility so its a trade off
