Harden the * up you soft utensils. Its none of your business what players weigh.

Whatever happened to Snake Baker? Did he stop following when North didn't rise as he predicted but instead went into abyss mode? Or has he got a new identity?

Laura Kane written all over this, looks like she may be a bust (ooh, am I allowed to use that word?) of Lawrence Angwin proportions

Players don't get mocked because of the official weights published by the afl, they get mocked by how they look. Stringer and J McGovern looked out of shape and they have been made fun of. Whether you think that is ok or not, stopping the publication of these stats won't stop it.

Stringer OOC end of year so expect him to get the finger out this season to con Essendon into yet another "overweight" contract

I look at weights a bit when thinking about matchups etc… I find it interesting because some players who look skinny are actually deceptively heavy and strong.

It’s mostly around KPPs, but guys at 103kgs are a lot harder to shift than those at 95kgs. None of these guys are carrying much fat.

It has been noted that some of the weights listed are completely made up, and the rest, well how do you even know they're up=to-date?

This line of argument has already been refuted, true fans/students of the game want this information well before the game starts, for various reasons

The fact that you can judge with your eyes once they're out there (lol) is irrelevant

We're being deprived of useful information, that we've always been given, without justification

And no "the weights aren't accurate" doesn't cut it either, all we need to know is a ball park idea of their pre-season weight, it's never been a problem before and isn't now

Well good luck with your footy watching for next season, it sounds like you're going to have a bit of struggle if you can't tell by looking and watching how they play just how big and strong a player is. Dunno how I've muddled on for all these years having never looked up a player's weight, but then I guess I'm mustn't be a true fan/student of the game. Hell, I'm not even a Scotsman.

Yes correct, you are not a true fan or student of the game or Scotsman (very clever, no really...) if you're not interested in a new player's body size before the game starts

You son are a THEATRE GOER, you watch the game as entertainment

That's fine by me but lay off the scolding of the true football nuffies huh? The ones who live and breathe the game and play fantasy games and even bet... we want as much info as possible, well BEFORE (yes before... hard concept?) the ball is bounced, and if that info can't be provided then give us a valid reason rather than taking the scoldilocks "oh you don't need that" route

Hidden but there it is. Y'all are THEATRE GOERS where the real fans play imaginary games and lose their money.

yes it is, it's a contact sport where a players physical measurements and abilities need to be known to have any kind of informed analysis on the game.

most blocked/muted him, no point in posting to yourself. it's what happens on this forum when politics are intorduced and some hard truths are told. most are snowflakes and melt at the slightest hint of a triggering subject.

Fantasy football game scores are based on real player output, what's the imaginary part? Do you even know what you're talking about?

As for betting, I'm not a huge fan of it but the AFL benefits from it, greatly, and has a duty to provide full disclosure of information including player weights wouldn't you'd think?
