Players size.

We are wanting to cover the ground better than ever before so many players like Jack for example have trimmed down.

We were same average weight and slightly taller than West Coast. Small wasn't the issue last night.

there are posts after our game against Freo saying how big we looked.....

If you're the same weight and taller, then you're skinnier.

Not necessarily. Muscle makes you leaner than fat. Less than 1cm taller per player and same weight, pretty much the same for both sides so on an average size basis we weren't small compared to West Coast as you suggested.

Are we talking averages or individuals? I thought Eagles had some pygmies like no. 7? But they had some big units ... Like Kennedy and Darling Bigger than our big blokes or just perception?
