Whe he stops training he'll blow up in size.

Doesn't strike me as the type who will stop training. Grew up on a farm and has a lot of active hobbies, that's half the battle.

Post AFL he will never replicate the demands of preseason and game day fitness.
Unless he has no life he won't be in a gym 6hrs a day.

Well they're not in the gym 6 hours a day while playing either. I have seen plenty of ex-players out and about who don't look that far off their playing physique.

A few points, no AFL player trains for 6 hours a day - but even if his activity does reduce, hunger tends to reduce with it.

Typically the footballers who blow up after retirement are the ones that look as though they're barely holding it together while playing. Guys like McGovern, or Buddy, will struggle not to blow up - Fyfe on the other hand has had a ridiculously low body fat forever, so I doubt it's going to change.

More and more this seems like Clarko is bringing in these coaches and players in order to return to the well on his old game style, and I just don't see that paying dividends in modern football with modern players.

 

[Platten44]

We need him to improve them enough to not get a priority pick.
The best thing for North is to be so bad the AFL has to give them pick 1 as a priority next year.
Pick 1 and 2 in the 2023 draft would set them up well.

Where did I say AFL players are training 6hrs a day?
How to miss the point 101.

Free coconut water for the players though I'm sure!

I am intrigued how you are going to argue that it wasn't implied here.

I don't think they'd be really considering historical numbers. I think it's as simple as neither Hawthorn or GWS are expected to be contenders next year and so there's unlikely to be much interest from neutrals.

Why did it have to be our home game?

For those laying down steroid accusations, things aren't always as they seem when not in picture perfect lighting, mid action shot!

I CAN SEE THE STITCHES WHERE THEY PUT THE ROBOTIC ARM IN!!!

Those are slow release stitches, disguised to look as though they've sewn robotic arms, but they are laced with slow release "vitamins"

Wonder who else will join Clarko at North?

Got monkhorst as chief lolly eater. Watched Howe on social media saying it was like the first day of school….. is he gonna cop as much flak from North supporters as he did when he played for us.

Will Shiels’ cousin now pop up on North social media? He was good to watch on HFC videos.

The AFL would never give them Pick 2 compensation at most it will be end of first round

Clarko surrounding himself with yes men just as he did late in his hawk career.
Has the makings of malthouse at carlton

Have to agree. It is refreshing that Mitchell is putting his own team together and not necessarily using all of the guys he inherited.
