It has just occurred to me how many stories start with "he was just a skinny kid" and I am wondering if a fat kid with potential was ever recruited effectively. I don't think I am talking about Scotty Cummings et al. Not the guys that had trouble keeping weight off as they got older. I am discussing the stars that started out as "he was just a fat kid"....thoughts on this rather brilliant Sunday morning?

I think Jason Dunstall also. Would be the pick of the crop.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

Patty Veszpremi?Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

I think I read somewhere that Cousins was a fat kid.Comment

Plugger, surely.
Dew was also always a bit rotund.10100111001 ;-)Comment

When I saw photos of Plugger at the start of his time with the Saints he looked lean and muscular, not what he bulked up to later of course, but not fat.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

Derek at the end yes, but I am asking about first impressions upon joining an AFL club. The fat boys who were given a go.
I somehow cannot think of Jason Dunstall being slender....nah just won't come.
Just remembered that bloke that came up from Essendon about 97/98 for a season or two; jumper never bent over his bum. Anyone?If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Byron Pickett was always a bit barrel-ish.The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.Comment

Rutten has a good sized buttock - gives the sexiest man in footy (Lingy) a run for his money. Stuey Dew is well stacked in the buttock area as well.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Whilst not fat Swans are packing a fair amount of junk in the trunk with ROK, Schmidt and The Handy Dan.Comment

It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.
