in size during the coin toss today, and he's a ruckman!

Some other potential candidates:

• Josh Kennedy (SYD)
• Olivander Wines (PA)
• Samuel Powell-Pepper (PA)
• Shannon Hurn (WCE)
• Nic Natanui (WCE)
• Marcus Adams (BRI)
• Sean Darcy (FRE)

 

[GuyIncognito]

Though often correlated there is a difference between strength and size.

 

[SuperVolley11]

If we are talking the traditional bench press? I’d be backing Daw, Hawkins or May.

For squats I’d say Yeo or Nic Nat.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Rhys Stanely routinely holds all the lifting records at Geelong, beating out Hawkins

 

[WillHayward]

T Hawkins
S Darcy
T Walker
S Collins
P Cripps

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

T Hawkins
S Darcy
T Walker
S Collins
P Cripps

No way Cripps is stronger than Martin.
Pound for pound overall it's Dustin and Sydney Stack.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Reading this thread feels like the off season.

 

[slackboy72]

Reading this thread feels like the off season.

It's already off-season if you're a West Coast supporter.

 

[The 747]

No way Cripps is stronger than Martin.
Pound for pound overall it's Dustin and Sydney Stack.

I hear if you measure strength by bench press, deadlift, calisthenics, grip all the Richmond players are ahead of everyone else. They also eat more fibre and run faster than players from every other team. And have higher IQs.

 

[Always Ballin]

That's too far, mate. Moderators.

Slingshottin' like a wimp. I'm not impressed.

 

[PrinceCharles]

Levi would be up there.

 

[Red Bull]

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

I hear if you measure strength by bench press, deadlift, calisthenics, grip all the Richmond players are ahead of everyone else. They also eat more fibre and run faster than players from every other team. And have higher IQs.

So Dustin is not strongest pound for pound player? Who is then?

[Ingeniokinetic]

Viney 84kg benching 155 = 1.85x body weight is Elite for a lifter >95%
Petracca 97kg squats 200+ = 2.08 x bodyweight is elite for lifters as well. >98%

 

[Muddiemoose]

Might be all for show but Taz has some decent pipes on him
Wouldn’t be interesting to see what he could bench

 

[SerongSoRight]

Sauce Jacobs would s**t on any of the current day ruckmen. Sauce makes todays mob look like cowards!

would be up there.

 

[La Dispute]

Strongest or toughest?

Either way:

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Current playing list

Powell Pepper - Hard at it seems to have a very strong core
Josh Kennedy - Sydney - In his last year/s now but tough to prevent him getting a disposal away
Dustin Martin - For his build almost impossible to stop that fend off.

Depends what you measure as strongest. If it's those strongman competitions it's probably one of the ruckman, most likely Naitanui

 

[Paul Kersey]

Rhys Stanely routinely holds all the lifting records at Geelong, beating out Hawkins

Geelong social team forgot to add that’s with a slingshot (adds a lot to the bench at the bottom). AFL players aren’t strength athletes so the numbers on the power lifts are generally not that impressive. The blokes who are gonna bench/squat/dead the most are generally gonna be the shorter/stockier types.

 

[Lingsface]

Strongest or toughest?
