Looks so unfit

It’s good to see Barnett has put on size but thats not his issue. When drafted he was more physically developed than a lot 18 years old ruckmen and last season would have been around the mid 90kgs which is a frame that is big enough to be competitive.

By his own admission he's only competitive for the first bounce

For those that go down to training, do you see the players change their shoes/boots?

From the photos, it looks like the players are doing their running in mid-high stack high cushioned half/marathon type distance shoes.

I think Brockman’s may have carbon plates in them…

They are great running shoes, very fast but definitely not meant for lateral movements side to side so I would assume they would throw their boots on for the drills.

I wonder if the shoes have anything to do with the hard surface… those runners are built for pounding the pavement

Interesting point, I noticed Hewett had different shoes in photos..
