2023 is a big year for Hunter

[bigred]

He does need to get stronger. Bigger.
Or he is just limiting his options.

[B.M]

Why does Hunter need to get bigger?

IMO
Just needs to get fitter

If anything he needs to lose a couple of KGs

His pot and love handles for a start

[bigred]

He is listed at 186cms and 80 kgs.

Sorry, but that is pretty damn light.

Steel for example is 1cm taller and EIGHT kgs heavier.

He could do with losing what appears to be puppy fat... STILL.

And replacing it with muscle. Surely he would be better off at say 85kgs.

[skeptic]

I’d just like to see him get fitter.

Would love to here that he’s one of the best runners at the club

[Impatient Sainter]

Why limit his development to just being a better runner, he needs to develop an AFL ready physique and fitness. Bigred is right another 5kgs of lean muscle would help him hugely IMO.

Even if he only secures a HBF position so extra stength would take his game to another level.

I’m just saying…
Would be great to see Hunter finally being known as one of the hardest workers at the club. Compare him to a guy like Ross for example who consistently does the work.

No question he has the talent but I’d love to see the application

[B.M]

How about Nasiah

Who is 187 and 71

I can give you a hundred examples of star players who are lean (which is the current trend in footy to strip weight)

Sam Walsh is lean, Darcy Parish is small, Lachie Whitfield is skinny

The thing they can all do, is run.

Modern game - you need to be able to run

Steele is naturally a big lad, and he plays as a bull inside mid

This time last year myself and another saints man spoke to Brett Ratten..he made a surprisingly Frank comment about both Hunter Clark & Coffield both unable to go with their opponents when playing in defence, this related to the 2021 season.
Coffield got himself really fit last year but sadly did his knee, Clark didn’t seem to do the work & finds himself in a difficult situation regarding his relevance in the game!

Its amazing how many people cant see his lack of development as simply not doing the work. I think that was highlighted by the club putting Clark on the trade market. Hopefully that rocket works otherwise he wont be at the club next year?

BM have a look at Nasiah's current build to this time last year he is noticeably bigger now. If a skinny kids like Nasiah and Sharman can add lean muscle Im sure Hunter can!

I was at training pre Christmas

NWM is wafer thin

His legs are skin and bone

His upper body is light, but at least has tone

[Yorkeys]

Nasiah & Hunter, ready made male model material?
Perhaps an eau de parfum:
"NaH": when size don't matter.
Your performance should smell so good.

Nasiah has the classic sleek indigenous build, he will never have big legs, but you can notice his upper body has changed.

Correct
NWM is an outside wing/runner
IF Clark is to play midfield he needs a little more size for sure - Lyon (abd Misson) previously have displayed a like for bigger bodied mids through “more meat n potatoes” so be interested to see how Clark goes.
He absolutely has to improve his running capacity that’s a given fir todays mids
If he can’t he’s gone end year

Trouble is, Hunter is built like a wingman but doesn’t have the tank to cope with playing there!!

Other than half back he really doesn’t seem to have a role, and we are not short in that position.

Still I would not argue with Sinclair, Billings & Clarke playing that position this season.
