Bigman’s Training Reports

Hopefully a sharp haircut means sharp hands.
He looked like he was playing with a cake of soap in the rain every game.

Oily hair

A hair cut is just a hair cut. Won’t make him a better player. Controversial I know.

Yeah I wasn’t seriously thinking that a haircut was going to change his skills

Rucking takes it out of you, so if we want him to be at his best as a key forward, he's going to have to be ruck fit because he's always going to be giving the primary ruck a breather. He's a naturally big body anyway, so I don't think there's any trade off with him becoming an aerobic beast.

I haven't tracked it closely previous years & was surprised to see him in that tier. Fit is good though - he's already a pretty scary prospect for opposition and just adds to it. Just dont want him to be a full time ruckman and wondered if there was any indication of it from training. Sounds like a non-issue. Good.

No arguments from me, he's way too valuable up forward as a roaming St.Nick type where his endurance can be a real difference maker gassing his opponents than to have him hacking about in ruck

That’s my point though , so far he’s had his best games as a deep forward dominating with his contested marks

Yet to see him dominate a game in a Nick Riewoldt style through burning opponents off with his running but if he could add that to his game he would be pretty complete

 

[Jeffcrowe]

He's our best to go to marking option... so we need to him on the move so that he is a regular option.

Wasted if just plays full forward, but he absolutely should be there when we kicking the ball in deep.

I wouldn’t say wasted

If he gets the right match up to expose he is most dangerous deep forward

Much rather that than him running around the wings

Endurance is his cherry on top , not main weapon
