Did any of you see the size of the Carlton Players in the midfield last night compared to our players - and then around the ground they always seem to be bigger bodied than us and just as quick.

Foley is small we know and his speed is one of his greatest assets but he couldn't run away from the bigger Carlton players (Mind you he did catch tackle and bury Judd at one centre bounce)

Edwards looked like a kid against men

Browny looked small against the Carlton backline yet he could not use his speed to an advantage

Our Captain looked small on the field compared to the Carlton players

Even Waite held his own - if not beat our biggest guy Richo

They had bigger bodied boys who appeared to be just as quick as our small players - maybe had something to do with the Carlton team being on top all over the ground and hence the ball movement favoured them and put their players at an advantage.

Why do we have small whimpy looking players rather than big strong quick hard hitting players?
