Freo's next ruckman?

[The Black Sheep]

Let's hope this kid sucks at Basketball. He's nearly half a foot on Sandi. Imagine a 140kg beast of a ruckman floating forward and out marking 195cm defenders!

Brendon Feddema mk2.

 

[estibador]

That's pretty scary for a 13yo. He'd wanna stop growing soon or he could end up with a pretty shortened lifespan.

 

[Allikat]

Are they sure he's actually 13? That's ridiculous. He's 2 foot taller than me

 

[Nodgey]

Remember reading a story about Shaquille O'Neill. Went something along the lines of he was raised on a army base or something and he asked someone for some help with his free-throws. The Major (or whoever) asks "and what's your name, private?" (thinking he's a soldier) and Shaq replies "I''m 13 yo sir".

Dunno how true it is, but I always remember it...

 

[Purple Suit]

We'll be unstoppable if he just stands in the goal square and we bomb long to him.....

 

[Taylor]

His head/jaw doesn't look that big yet as I would expect from a pituitary condition.

I imagine the mismatch would look something like this:

Or this,

 

[Jimbos1]

2.26m at 13 years old, he will undoubtably have health issues

 

[Taylor]

226cm and about 50kg dripping wet.

Slowly gyming it.

 

[Schauermann]

Growing 10cm a year? Means he will be 2,76m when he can be drafted...

 

[rgauci]

His head/jaw doesn't look that big yet as I would expect from a pituitary condition.

While his bones aren't fused he won't get acromegalic features. Hence its gigantism in your youth and acromegaly in adulthood.

Ha too bad Sandi isn't a bit younger. Imagine those two standing in the F50 receiving long bomb after long bomb.

Imagine trying to pick up a chick. Life would suck and chicks would only be as tall as your waist.

 

[Allikat]

chicks would only be as tall as your waist.

Isn't that a good thing?

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Isn't that a good thing?

Yes but I didn't mean it like how you took it.

 

[Halfbaked]

Yes but I didn't mean it like how you took it.

Sorry waist high and life sucking ????? How were we meant to take it.

Simple physics suggests that someone of those dimensions... 226 and 140... would have to be on EPO or something to cope with the running load in afl.

Massive kid though. Poor bugger.

He could try his luck with someone Britney Griner's height... but a fair bit younger.

Haha yeah you're probably right. My comment was semi sarcastic as it's pretty self evident he'll never play AFL. Although, Sandi at 211 and 125kg goes alright. Then again he might not have to. Everything is proportionate, bigger lungs to suck in more O2, Bigger heart to pump more blood, bigger blood vessels to deliver more blood, more muscle to move his body. I know the more weight you have the harder your CVS has to work, but isn't that proportionate to your height?

If you double the height you quadruple the weight.

 

[Mezz]

Imagine Sandi having to look up to someone? I bet that doesn't happen too often.

 

[Taylor]

If he has his pituitary glad removed and requires doses of HGH will that mean our club doctor can does him up after gym sessions with full WADA clearance?
