That pic of Brodie is fantastic. He can be a tough player at times and the injuries and suspension last year ended it before it started. Brodie could be in for one hell of a year in 2008, even if alot of people don't seem to rate him anymore.

Brodie bulking up like that will affect his playing in a bad way I feel. I bet the guy will struggle to raise his arms over his head and he would have lost more speed and agility.

Yep, look at what it did to people like Judd, Cousins, Kouta, Bucks, McPhee etc.
All massive specimens and not one of them can/could play good footy.

Thats one of the biggest myths in footy, weight training actually improves speed look at champion sprinters those guys dwarf brodie and do weights to improve explosiveness.
Agility he shouldn't lose too much (if any) with all the stretching and aerobic work they do, don't mix bulking up with getting fat big. |

Brodie is a lot more stockier than all of those guys. Having huge guns did heaps for Tarrant, didn't it?

There is a difference between sheer bulk and mere muscle definition. I would hardly call Judd or Cousins (or McPhee) a tank. Kouta was enormous largely due to his height, and given his entire career was ruined by knee problems im not sure he's the best example of how to condition your body for footy.
Bucks on the other hand was tank, and bulking up to that 95kg mark actually helped his style of play quite a bit i reckon. Brodes should be fine too if his agility is still in tact as it will allow him to apply a heaver and more physical tag, and thats the kind of player we missed last year. |

| I think it's great that Brodie is getting huge - maybe next time he comes off the line and tries to take out an opposition key player they won't get up, go forward and kick multiple goals in a match winning display like Montgomery vs Bulldogs 2 years ago. I think we should save him for Gary Jnr. |

Thanks for agreeing with me.
And I agree with you, Brodie is not a tank, so based on your points, it should be a huge assistance to him.

He has to have a hell of a year or his career at Collingwood is over! |
He Sure Does, Kids have Passed Him and if he does not have a big year then it's GoodBye Brodie

| Brodie's adding muscle? Please no, he is big enough as it is. Needs greater pace/agility. |

Will someone explain to me how the muscle that Brodie has added will stop him from being agile or quick?
Carl Lewis anyone?
