Its good to have a look at the people who reacted to this post and how they reacted. 3/4's of the people who reacted are ones that are compassionate about people who have weight issues and the other 1/4 are, well, not those people

We need to have alll their weights to analyze this.
Back in my day you just bullied people until they dissapeared from your life with severe mental health issues and a destroyed self esteem.
Ah the good old days. Things were much simpler then.

Agree.
The irony being that identifying an individual as morbidly obese, is a clinical medical term identifying those in Australia with a BMI 40+
Welcome to 2023, where stating the truth, is considered bullying.
I dont recall anyone on this thread at least bullying or laughing at Stuart Dew's current weight issues.
Has Dawson always look so trim?

Feels like the fabled 'Burgess Effect' might be finally starting to kick in.... lots of players are looking elite fit.
Maybe McAdam was worried about being left behind
For us uneducated NTTAWTT?

Rankine has been the standout so far this pre season. He already looks ready to go. Fit as a fiddle, skills ultra sharp and taking on players in the full length drills, just looks on another level.
Berry looks noticeably trim and his ball use has been much better. None of those forward spinning punts of last year. Hopefully maintains this in the real thing as it was a big issue during the season
Cook looks really fit and in the best condition ive seen him at this stage of the year. His fellow winger billy Dowling also looks really assured with his role in the team and was heavily involved in the full length drills and showed great vision when moving the ball.
The team for the most part appears to have bulked up quite a bit, in particular Thilthorpe as reported, Rachele who looks ultra fit, worrell, pedlar as well as Taylor, who needed to get bigger as he struggled to break tackles before his foot injury. He does still lag a bit in the running, often behind Strachan which isn’t ideal. I suspect he still needs to learn how to really push himself.
Only player to look a bit underdone is chayce who appears a tad stocky. To be fair his foot injury was only a few months ago and positively he and Taylor are both fully involved in the drills and running.
Keane looks much fitter than last year although he has been managed a tad and did not do mondays time trial. Murray and dragon were on the sidelines doing running and some skill drills. Harry also featured early on doing some skills but no running. He looks surprisingly advanced given the nature of his injury
New boys have all shown some good signs and did well in the time trials, particularly edwards. Curtin showed some frustration whenever he made an error which was good to see. Edwards is a big boy already but moves very fluently. Ryan impressed with his speed although he has a slightly awkward gait. He rotates his body quite a bit when running. Gallagher is very raw and made some bad mistakes, but hes a great athlete no doubt so hopefully the club can fast track his skills and decision making.
Welsh and toby Murray both featured today. Welsh was only doing set shots and chatting to coaches so is obviously being managed. Murray did most drills and looked ok, bit ungainly but covered the ground quite well.
Unfortunately nank left the track early after sustaining what appeared to be some sort of lower leg injury. Hopefully nothing too serious
Boys look hungry and in good spirits so far.

Cheers, I must get out more
Would assume Chayce beat his pb so won’t take long to get to peak fitness

Tell me you know nothing about the topic without telling me you know nothing about it
Tell me you're a dick without telling me you're a dick.
Guarantee you Worrell would struggle as a full time KPD.

It's not the KPD debate. It's the fact that you think bulk in the legs is the defining factor. It simply isn't correct. Some blokes have naturally leaner legs and don't bulk out but still have the muscle and power through them if properly trained.
P.s - I AM a dick. But unlike half on here I can admit it.
KPD debate was my comment. You took it somewhere else and suggested I don't know what I'm talking about.
You're the idiot with reading comprehension issues.
I’d like to be a dick but just doesn’t come as easy to me as some

What makes that 'very likely' as opposed to just being a guess?
Why would we discount, for example, that people who are accustomed to eating the energy amounts required to fuel elite athletes probably struggle when the amount of energy that they're burning significantly reduces?
