I bumped into Jones in a JBhifi store and was surprised at how tall he was but shocked at how lean he was. I'm talking girl arms !!

Did you talk to him ?

Nah. It was a week or so before the start of the season. I was genuinely surprised at how tall he was, but equally concerned at how skinny he was.
Too little and Way too late. Pull your fingers out boys!!

Footballers are very lean these days, even the solid looking ones are skinny next to the average guy.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

Very true!  My son in law pointed out Cameron Wood to me when he was at Collingwood and I couldn't believe that he was an AFL footballer.

My son was being fitted for a suit when Hamish McIntosh came in for a fitting.  My son, who is officially a centimetre or two shorter than McIntosh, made him look quite small.

A couple of seasons back, most players tried to put on a few kgs but they have all shed that weight now.  If I remember correctly, Levi was well over 100kg but has now dropped to 99kg.

Hawks went leaner and everyone else followed.......

It's always been the case. I remember standing next to Scott Burns at Colombo's Pizza House when he was still playing and he was quite runtish. He looked like a tank on field as well.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Was standing next to Richo and he was tall but a stick insect. Kouta was big but not exactly Arnie.

Met David Rhys Jones buying a coffee and we are both around the same height but Rhys is one bloke who looks way bigger across the shoulders in person
and isnt the thin bodied winger who started at the Swans...

I'd be more than happy to see Rhys back at Carlton as I reckon he did some good work at Frankston and would be a big improvement on Luke Webster...

I have heard from a few people that have watched him coach. The key thing that keeps coming up is that he knows how to keep things simple. Keep his instructions on the things that count the most. Along with he has a very good way of getting his point across, and making his instructions understood. He doesn't confuse young players as he doesn't make a process appear complicated. He also knows how to use his "I mean business voice" when needed. I haven't heard him address players myself,, but my friends have said that if he was their coach they would do what ever it takes to see his exact instructions are followed. Isn't that something we could use at our senior club at the moment.

The goals from Sundays game. 

Kreuzer's first goal was possibly the first time I have seen a bloke deliver a footy laces out to advantage of a leading forward in a Carlton shirt in God knows how long.

I've heard him address sides at various stages of games... very, very impressive. Knows how to communicate effectively.

Keeping it simple must be the key to good coaching. Out there in the heat of battle at AFL level, trying to remember too many instructions is probably futile with opposition pressure often at very intense levels. Thinking time would be minimal and often instincts take over, as they do in real battles.

Simple instructions without too many options or need to think too deeply would be the most effective for all but the most gifted players.
Reality always wins in the end.

Smith did one in the first quarter last week. I remember thinking the same thing. Not a common occurrence.

Kreuze second goal - the big grab was a cracker.

Makes me nervous that they'll want to play him as a permanent forward though. Which has been tried - and failed.

Kreuzer will have to be tried up forward to see if anything has changed with him now that he is older.
