Oskar Ryan looks a huge shot for early season debut

bigman does he still look really skinny in upper arms and quads ?
Jeff I agree, typically first year players are at their best early in the season so ideally we get a look at him before he likely hits the wall like draftees often do.

He has been just as impressive as max was this time last year.

He has definitely bulked up a bit since the start of pre season although I wouldn’t say he is a big lad. He doesn’t look out of place out there at all however.

Reports of them having Sloane in defence today?
Desperately trying to find a place for him, it will be ruck soon.

Defence would be friggin madness, doesn’t have the speed, run or leg to justify trying to learn defence at 33 and is he really going to take the place of Milera, Hinge, Nank, Max, Parnell, Hamill or get in Curtin or Ryan’s way?

It seems smart just to use him as the sub, real impact late in games

Was the spot I was hoping we'd try him in a season or two ago, still feel like he could do alright in it. Whether that's as best 22 or depth is another question.

I think he would be great playing in the back lines and acting as that backline general and onfield coach to the younger lads. But only in the SANFL team, not in the AFL team. Could use it as a transition into coaching if he wants to go that way.

Sadly, based on the evidence of recent years, the answer to that question is "yes, he is".
 
Same article:

Milera reported right hamstring soreness during the session and scans later confirmed the injury.

“We expect that Wayne will be back in main training in two to three weeks,” Adelaide High Performance Manager Darren Burgess said.

Doesn't sound like a terrible one or anything.
 
True but he’s had hammy probs on/off all pre season

Bit like Worrell last pre season he strained his 3x
My worry with milera is both were very innocuous even for hamstrings.

Whereas worrell’s initial hamstring last year was caused by a lunging tackle from Nankervis mid-kick that would have injured most players.

Would’ve hoped by now milera’s body would have hardened a bit and he could have a good run at it. He is very important to us particularly given smith, while still good, is no longer at his peak.

Yeah agree

Needed milera to get stronger to build off last year and it hasn’t gone to plan
 
Just on C7 news a feature on Max M. He has come out bigger and stronger looking in pre-season.
What is it players actually do in pre-season that allows them to bulk up so much in a quick period?
