Looks beefier than the first pictures I saw of him when he was drafted...looked like he needed a belt to keep his jumper on!

Not that I'd wish a long term injury upon any of our boys, but if it were to happen, i'd hope this fella gets a gig

StNoodles, with our recent history, you don't have to wish an LTI on anyone on our list. It will just happen

He looked bulkier in person playing at the intra-club game. I thought he was pretty stocky.

Might have been the jumper.

obviously did not look below shorts

thin thighs and the thinnest calves I have ever seen.

Saw him walk out of the ground in street clothes.....wearing thongs

legs as skinny as I have ever seen.....

got a feeling about this kid. destined to make a name for himself. he's thin and underweight but i heard he's a natural footballer with pace to burn.

Here's an exert from one of the articles on the club website

Lyon also said he was impressed with rookie Ross Tungatulum but was quick to remind excited fans that the 68kg Tungatulum is a project player.

â€œHeâ€™s got some exquisite skills and heâ€™s light. Heâ€™s 68kg. Everyone thinks of Aaron Davey and those lads but he went to Port Melbourne first. They were three-year projects and he is really a three-year project,â€

Methinks Nicky Winmar was about the same weight when he played in the WAFL at the same age (18) .. we drafted him at 21 years old he was then just under 8o Kg (from memory) ... eventually Elvis filled out to 83 Kg.

I think we're forgetting that skinny legs seems to be the norm with our indigenous cousins. They are not in our game to provide grunt, they are there for pace and freakish skills so I'm not too concerned about the legs.

They generally rely on not getting caught, and not on being able to shrug off a tackle.

Well said.

His genetics mean that his legs will always be relatively skinny (compared to a big, strong European), but they also mean he'll be quicker and more agile because of it.

Nicky Winmar's legs were a bit thinner than the average blokes.
...He turned out alright.
