Some of those numbers are great, if they're right - also I hope Xavier Clarke puts on some weight/definition - he looked quite frail last year :shock:


No Contract, No Contact :shock:

I'm feeling a little short for my weight at the moment.
Yep, I'm at least 20 cm under height at the moment.

Interesting to note that after one year on an AFL list Eljay Connors has gone from 65kgs to 76 kgs yet Brad Howard after 2 years still remains at 71kgs and is our lightest player other than Tungatulum.

Ironically Brad Howard has put on a shitload of weight since he came to the club. At least 10kg.

Goodard and L Fisher's new heights are as they were publshed in the footy record - LAST YEAR.
The club's publication is only one year late. :roll:
Can we hope the web site catches up in less than 2 years? :oops:

Putting on 11 kgs in one year is a piece of cake.
I exceeded that weight gain with ease when arthritis restricted my exercise.
No more training for and enjoying 8 weeks snow skiing in Europe per year.
Actually it was more than a pieces of cake, a lot more.
They call it comfort eating.

Getting rid of 11kgs now that is an impossibiliity.

Things may have changed but the stats were never accurate, I once was showed at a Geelong game the saints players stats from sheet a guy had (who was at the game to watch the saints from a opposing team we were playing in about a fortnight). At that time we had plugger listed at 100kg , he had him about 119kg, he said that most clubs listed the shorter player a bit taller (ala "collingwood six footers") added a few Kilos to the skinny guys , and took a heap off the fattys..................... he said all the clubs did the same to try to throw the opposition in match ups...... and to keep the pressure off the not so fit players. These days the average players fitness is far superior....


And the president said " I did not have sex with that woman"
And our former president said " Football is like golf" 

Go Sainters !!!!!

I've always noticed players seem to grow a cm every couple of years - even if they're about 30 lol.

Luke Power is a good example of what you said about the shorties - no way known he's 180cm.
My theory is they measure them with boots on

I would REALLY appreciate an accurate and up to date set of stats. Ever since childhood I've always really wanted to know the correct heights and weights.
Can't they just line up all the players one day and measure them, and then someone go an post them on the website? (They probably do the measurements every week!)
So simple, you'd think. Therefore so frustrating. Years go by without accurate stats!

Love the new Saintsational banner, by the way!
