I couldnt believe it by watching how much Leon has bulked up.

He looks so fit and strong as has gone along the last couple of weeks as though he cant be beaten, and hasnt.

Yes he's certainly looking fit and healthy. All the boys have really worked hard over the break. Its good to see. They really mean business. Its been a long break and I too can't wait for the real stuff to get underway.

I agree, did you see the size of his arms !! He has always been a good chaser and tackler, so this year he should be even more hard at it with that extra bulk.

I loved those two bumps in row in the forward pocket on Sun night...lets hope other teams put a small guy on him every week so he can out muscle and run the little prick !!

GO YOU PIE BOYS !!!

A huge change from the skinny, scrawny kid that came to Collingwood in 2000.

And the pleasing thing is that its not just Leon. Every player seems to be a bit bigger and we now really are one of the more physically powerful sides in the AFL and opposition supporters are starting to notice it too. Its good to know now that when we go to a game the opposition has to be wary of us, rather than the other way around.

Totally agree D9. We seem to be much more assertive and aggressive as a team. And isnt Leon loving it, haha, almost as much as the crowd...

I remember seeing Leon in a pre season game at Waverley against Freo i think. It was where he would get isolated on the wing and use his pace to carry the ball. He was like wafer thin. The club did the smart thing by bringing him along slowly and waited for him to bulk up

His confidence has grown dramatically and he is also helped by the fact that the team is improving as a whole

Its not arrogance if you can back it up

Fate is what you are given, Destiny is what you do with it

Essendon 2000 premiers
2001 runners up
2002 fifth
2003 ????
The slide continues
