It's so rare to see an athlete who in retirement is way below their playing weight.
Pluggers weight transformation reminds me of Shane Warnes. Funny how Warnie and Plugger both played at St Kilda.
I hope Plugger is not wearing trendy youth labels like Warnie.
I watched some of the Footy Show last night and saw Brownless interviewing Plugger. He has lost a lot of weight and cleared up any concerns about his health - says he's fine. He appeared relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. They showed a highlights reel and reminded me what an incredible player he was - big, fast, and could kick goals from all angles from either foot.
What surprised me was the reverence he was treated with by Sam Newman.
Oh... just saw the heading of this thread and thought he must be going for an operation or something...
Should be a massive asset, literally!
