I know yeo is really strong and that but does any one rekon that he is one of those player struggles putting muscle on? You look at other players of similair sizes like dangerfield, fyfe, kennedy and even pendlebury to an extent and all of them are very big. yeo is listed as 86khs but if he gets to a bout 92-90kgs, he will be pretty hard to stop on the inside.

He was skinny (low 70kgs IIRC) when he was drafted, so I think he's certainly proven that he can put muscle on. According to this article (http://www.lions.com.au/news/2013-02-05/yeo-raring-to-go), he put on "close to 10kg" in his first 14 or so months at Brisbane.
As far as putting on more, it's probably being managed by the club to make sure he doesn't compromise his endurance.
From memory he has one of the lower TOG% figures in the team, which might indicate that his endurance isn't top notch quite yet. That would make sense, given that he's transitioned from being a back pocket player to one who spends a lot of time in the midfield, while simultaneously putting on weight.

You base this on what ?

also on the basis that he aim to learn off paddy mcginnity.

Eagles forward Fraser McInnes will sign a one year contract extension to 2017. Club likes what he offers as forward/ruck like Sinclair

Thought he was already signed up.

 

[Biggie]

Same here?

 

[Chris_6678]

Looks like he signed an extension so he is signed up till the end of 2017 not next year.

Assume to end of 2017. Pretty sure he was signed until end 2016 previously.

Edit: beat me to it

Edit 2: He only signed a new contract in August: http://www.triplem.com.au/melbourne...es-have-all-re-signed-with-west-coast-eagles/

Must be impressing in pre-season training already. I Like It!

Call it the Callum Effect, and the fact that the draft didn't drop any FWD/RUC types into our laps.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

The structure of our side next year will be really interesting. Assuming no injuries - there are countless ways to structure up our talls

I have a feeling Simmo's built us a Premiership team lads

Nice spread of talent. Got KP stocks. Midfield depth.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Lets not get ahead of ourselves lads, we folded like a pack of wet cards on GF day a month or two ago. We have a long way to go to get back to even playing in a GF. Lets not do a Freo and proclaim a dynasty or certainty of a flag before we've even played a real game.

The clairvoyant that predicted IS will nuke Europe next year said WC will win the next 6 flags.

Edit: that, and Hacksaw Liam

Not popular... but one could argue Worsfold built it.. given very few of the best 22 players were new to the list.

Even less popular would be Obrien/Vozzo built it

Simmo appears to have built a team gameplan and culture that the club has bought into.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

No many coaches have built a premiership team from scratch.

Except Mick and Sheedy.
