So its not the fat farm that Lance went to after all, its the bulky, stocky frame farm.
Gonna have to find a new insult to yell at him during the Carlton games I go to now.
"Get back to the bulky, stocky frame farm whitnall you sook"......nah doesnt work.
and in 2002 the worst thin forward ever.

I said in most cases. There are two exceptions; Rioli and Whitnall.
Good thread, but shows the limitations of our great language - are we after the forward with the best fat, or the fat guy who's the best forward?
Best fat is Rioli
Best forward with fat is Whitnall
BTW, never understood the "fat farm" thing - shouldn't it be called a "thin farm"??

You forgot to mention big boned and thick set.

Some would say he's not a forward either.

The Best "FAT FORWARD EVER" is: The Great One: PLUGGER!!!!!
And roly-poly and Rubenesque.
Whitnall is easily the best forward on the list. He is also the current day AFL player that Rubens would most like to paint.
Rioli is the fattest, Whitnall is the best player on the list.
Special mentions to Grenville Dietrich, Billy Brownless, Dennis Sachse, Doc Wheildon, Ricky McLean, Wilbur Wilson, Rene Kink and Rick Davies (at the end of his career).

His 12 Goal afternoon against Central District in the 80's after Mickey bailed him out of prison at 5am that Saturday morning!
Was told to ride a bike to training so he began doing that yet managed to hoe into a large pizza while riding!
Could definitely play!
When he wasnt smoking on the Interchange Bench
To add
Lance Whitnall hands down!@!!!!!!
Rioli!!! No Thanks!!!!
South Melb FF early to mid-seventies. Had like a croatian, slavic surname? Grrr hate it when my mem....
Now what was I just doing? Anyway, he should get a mention.
Lally Bamblett, Allen Jakovich, Matthews bros (though Leigh was just a tad better player), Hardie a few more hardly svelte type players.
