The Shane Warnes of Football: Overweight players

[Xenthor]

I've just gotta say it, Sarah "Tex" Perkins from Adelaides AFLW team.

 

[SizeMatters]

Fev in his final year for the Lions was starting to show.

After AFL footy he piled on the kegs.

 

[WilloTree]

This is Willie Riolli after he lost 16 kegs in a big pre-season. I lol'd when a mate pointed out he's comfortably nestling the footy on his gut.

 

[GreyCrow]

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

I reckon he has been depression eating ever since

 

[GreyCrow]

My nom would be Heath Shaw round 1 and Stevie J of course. The Wundke one also came to mind. He played in an SANFL prelim. This year. Oh how we have dropped the ball

I did think Allen Jakovich held it in quite well at times

 

[vikingpimp]

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

Lost a fair chunk of weight later in his career and became "The Esky"

 

[Aramis]

Richard Lounder. No1 draft pick in 1987

Famously described as "Build like a brick wall, and almost as mobile".

I guess you could say the Lounder floundered?

 

[go you pups]

Paul Barnard?

 

[bombersfan4000]

Stewie Dew
Darren Jarman at times
Byron Pickett at times
Dean Rioli

Darren Jarman was a funny one started out as a bean pole now a total blob

I think its because he ran like your fridge....very homo-sexually.

 

[emblurr]

Gotta be Rollllly!

 

[Plugger46]

Dane Swan?

 

[HBF]

Lance Whitnall

He's blown out to epic proportions now.

 

[morsie]

Another couple of names for the old timers - Richo's old man Alan " Bull" Richardson.About 6 inches shorter than his son but heavier and John Sudholz of South Melbourne.
In the 50s and 60s I reckon each team had a couple. of less than athletic types.

 

[Heaps of fun]

 

[2notepockets]

Ryan O'Connor

 

[MonkeyMagik]

It's about time we had a Michael Wundke thread.

Was thinking the exact same thing.

 

[MonkeyMagik]

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

Didn't West Coast confiscate Sampi's Hungry jacks discount card he got as part of the sponsorship?

Wow that's a pretty good workplace perk

discounts on whopper with cheese and onion rings what a delicious work place perkl

 

[Asada Mao]

Any idea whether Cale Morton has continued to pack on the kgs since being delisted or does him running away from players like Lade keep the weight off?

 

[Bicco]

Going by Buddy's dad, he will be huge once he retires.
A sort of claim to fame is playing against Ben Cousins in an East Freo Juniors combined side. There was a teammate of his called Billy. A bit 'chubby' and pigeon toed. He picked up the ball a couple of metres in front of me. I took off after him rehearsing in my mind the perfect rolling tackle. Needless to say after 10m of running the gap was 5m and he laced a pass to a teammate. This guy could waddle faster than I could run. Sure taught me a lot that one moment. Its still a vivid memory.
