The Shane Warnes of Football: Overweight players

[Schauermann]

Sean Darcy. But it was his first season, so it might change with a few more preseasons...

 

[Yakker]

 

[Angus Young]

Grenville Dietrich.

Suffered "horrific" burns from a dropped pizza.

This...

Grenville... what a *ing legend.

 

[AFLOnline]

Paddy

Luke Hodge

Mcgovern currently but boy can he play.

First person I thought of- you can tell he will balloon out to brownless size about 3 weeks after retirement.

What I think is interesting about Gov is how well he uses his girth when out positioning defenders- He's a master at using his considerable arse to keep forwards away from the drop of the ball.

 

[00Stinger]

Dean Rioli of past players.

Jarrad Waite and Stevie J of current players. Waite was known as "mudguts" at Carlton and apparently wasn't too happy with it.

Yep. I remember seeing him walking down Napier street near Windy hill during the season eating a pie and drinking a coke.

He was massively over weight

Buddy.

Too many Crab Sliders and chips at Bondi eateries. If he played at GWS it would have been a light Pho in Cabramatta

People thought the two finger salute was spontaneous - but it was just Lance's standard response to being told he could have a Big Mac for dinner

Mcgovern currently but boy can he play.

Buddy looks a bit tubby at times but im not sure if its fat or just the way he holds himself ie postuee....but boy can he play

Seen his Dad?

 

[HairyO]

Cummings in his final year. Wow.

He used to regularly rock up training early and sit around eating a couple of pies and wash it down with a coke. Sheedy just let him go. His training wasn't that vigorous!

He was such a gun, wonder how he would've been fit. Similar to Cyril I guess.

 

[HolyRioli]

ironically i remember stewie dew having a cracker game in the grandy, i thought he would go close to the norm smith that day

Nah, not the NS, he floated in and out of the game.

But he broke the game open with 2 goals and 2 more involvements / assists in a 5 minute period

Quite remarkable in todays game...overweight with no apparent natural athletic gifts, yet is arguably the best defender in the game

 

[blueboy25]

Scotty Cummings, built like a fridge full of custard.
(Also an absolute legend off field)

Ashley Sampi would bugger off for the summer and fail every skin fold test know to man come first training back.

Willie Rioli in the WAFL looks like he could ruin a few Bunning's BBQs

Western Australia: Come here to get fat

Willie looks like he hasn't lost any weight at all this year. Will be interesting to see him after another preseason.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Oh yeah that's the severely depressed player you guys shafted

 

[Demon 16]

Allen Jakovich went around nicely for a fellow who would eat a hamburger before a game.

 

[Eski3]

Mick Nolan, The galloping gasometer.

Stewie Dew is and amazing individual. Porky Bogan from Salisbury but goes from this....

Then to this.....

To Eventually settling for this.......

Oh and he's got a couple of flags too. The man is a porky God.

 

[Elixuh]

I mean I knew Aaron Francis came back from the offseason on the Pudgy side but I didn't know it was this bad.

 

[boncer34]

Relton Roberts physique wasn't Ideal.

Thats SNFL Reserves Premiership Player Relton Roberts thank you.

 

[Leon]

Was Mark "The Fridge" Roberts from North slightly on the portly side?

 

[Leon]

James Cook of Carlton/Western Bulldogs/Melbourne vintage.
