Certified Legendary Thread Should I try and become a Docker player?

91 kg 'dry' ? meaning no glycogen?! Does he know what glycogen is?!
seriously guys, where did you pull this guy from he has me in fits of laughter, shaking my head in pity hahaha!!!!

If you knew anything about fitness/health you would know 1g of glycogen binds to almost 4g of water. Water is what humans call wet. When you lose your glycogen stores through dieting you lose 3.5g of water per gram of glycogen. Since I have a rather high muscle content on my body I can lose up to 3-4 kilos of water when these glycogen stores are deplete, it is what is known as a "dry" state. It is a better way to measure your actual mass because you contain less water in this state.

Again, your claim to TAFE fame is hilarious to me and anyone with knowledge about the human body. You are completely ignorant and don't even know it.

Just came home from the club, spoke to Harvs. He said he will try me out next thursday, the deal is, if I beat Thornton in a 1 - 1 marking contest then I get a 2 year contract.

Congratulations on making the squad.

Do you have to be human? I bet my dog would outmark Thornton. Although the age restriction might restrict her. Do dog years count?

The cousin has a dog called Clive.

Marks balls just like Quentin Lynch, with his face. Likewise, I think he'd be better than the albino.

Yeah I decided not to bother with trying out with the dockers, so I'm not sure chops when they are on. Are you thinking of trying out or?

After doing some more research and talking to a few AFL/WAFL players I decided that the injuries they sustain isn't really a path I want to go down. I'm now also 91kg dry (without glycogen) and 94kg normally .... which is too big for my height in regards to agility needed and longevity of my joints with running large amounts. Can't see myself wanting to downsize at this stage.

It's a shame though, I think I could have done something good for the dockers if I really applied myself to getting the footy skills.

Dont play for freo than, have some fun at the reserves or something!

I play basketball when I'm staying in Perth for long periods and that is fun enough for me at the moment... no injuries in my career so far besides the odd elbow. Quite a tame sport compared to footy, not as fun to watch but pretty decent to play.

I think you're probably more likely to get injured in the reserves than the bigger league. I have a few friends who play in the lower leagues and the stories they tell me about their on field exploits are the stuff of small tribal wars. It would be fun but I guess I am a bit of a pussy when it comes to worrying about the long term damage that footy can do with the amount of running and tackling/bumps/etc.

So its fare to say you rate yourself quite a bit

I rate myself in a manner that I think is fair yes. Obviously if I don't downplay anything which is "better than average" then a lot of people seem to jump to the idea that I am arrogant or a liar, which is fine, they are using whatever god gave them to judge me.

Dont mean to be rude but if your not playing footy atleast at the WAFL Reserves level than your no hope mate. StKilda are the only club that look at country footy.

lol. not what i've heard. you blokes may be picking one out of the hat in the rookie draft. rumours over this way say a bloked called Darren Sheen.

[Moo]

What ever happened to the great one ?

I have asked this very question, many times with never the same reply

Some say he's gone up North with boots in hand to give the Gold Coast a try

Others say he is a fitness guru - consulting to famous celebs and stars

I e-mailed his work and the reply was "Memories gone to Queensland droving, and we don't know where he ares."

For a passing moment we were blessed with his unique postings of lots of smack

However dont worry if we draft poorly I am really, really sure he will be back.

Mems you were the man and we raises our glasses and shout

8% or less or you can GTFO.

For Chops

It's nice you guys missed me.

No I didn't end up trying out for Freo (as posted earlier), after talking to more players I learned that I value my joints too much to play this game seriously. I will try for coach though in 2018. I've been playing chess a lot to improve my coach positioning skills and my natural charisma combined with aesthetically appealing body makes me a good leader.
