I know they do work on it with their players, in fact a few of them are actually sent to do specific gymnastics training (Kenny being one btw - but his was more to do with landings as he has the same problems that Mark Stevens had).
I'm saying that I don't think you realise that core stability is more important than upper body strength and most footy clubs have only now started to do more core stability exercises as part of the warm ups etc. You do also realise that bulking up the upper body also causes most players to slow down not speed up?
Plus I think you haven't really observed the afc forward line for the last two years if you think we are going to have a stay at home full forward or forward pocket player. Not gonna happen. Our forwards have to have the ability to run all day and to change up forward from being the one inside the forward 50 to being the lead up forward.
