Flano has certainly strengthened our leadership immensely

it’s a new era I feel

foundation was build last year and a springboard for 14 wins plus I expect in 2025

Looking at the training photos this week, looks like Tyrell has packed on some size in the off-season. Great to see Cody back at training - looking strong, too

Sloan has put 9kg
Kyle 10kg

enormous change for cardio / strength athletes

I put that on as well in the offseason. Problem is I don't take it off.......other problem is I am not a cardio/strength athlete.

Especially considering the Grand Final was only two months ago and they have had a break. Kyle even got married. (I'm sure there is a joke or two in that scenario)

If these two have gained more than 10%, I'd love to see a full list of every players 2024 (Start) weight V's their current.

On the other hand Blakie Cake looks like he has trimmed down by 10kg.

That's what I mean by a full list, Cake looks great, jury just out as to whether it improves his game.

Weight alone is also not everything, just ask the West Tiger 'fat five'

Yes you are right there H of D. Besides weight gain or loss, the guys need stamina, strength, endurance and speed which I am sure our high performance guys will be getting the guys to have all of these desirables.

I feel that before the pre-season started for each player, the high performance team would taken readings on the guys starting weights, heights, measurements of all parts of their bodies etc and timed them on their middle distance running and sprints, aerobic levels, weight bearing exercises, the lot.

I suppose details of their weight, height, etc will be promulgated one day for the journos to put into their write ups and for internet stuff like Wikipedia and Zero Tackle etc.

Someone must be able to teach him to move his feet in a different direction before hitting the line and get him an offload.

The Coachman boys have done this from day one in their debut season

Lawrie needs to practice this till he perfects it

He lacks the power and leg drive to break the line but with some footwork he could be more effective

The new "couch" men twins

I hope they are bulking up our middles and making sure they don't lose any speed or agility, etc

Plenty here on the forum will be bulking up their middle around Christmas time - I know I will!
