I’d be cutting Huss and at best putting him on the rookie list, terrible standard of fitness considering all the academy assistance he was part of and after being on an AFL list for 12 months.

They have to to put on the weight.
Huss has to gain 10kg or muscle over the next 18 months and to do that you need to eat a lot.
But he also need to trim down as well and increase his endurance a lot.
He needs to lean on the fitness and dietician and monitor and adjust constantly.
The kids seems dedicated, he just need to work and time to get it right.

Shove him on Ozempic for three months and he’ll lose the belly!!!

Hope Huss can get fitter, because he showed plenty this year. I think he can be a very important player for us moving forward with his forward craft and pressure (at times).
He certainly has the talent to make it.

That would be a terribly stupid thing to do to an athlete. Ozempic slows down digestion. Given how many calories they do need to consume I suspect that would work out terribly.

Incredible effort to maintain that body shape after being a full-time pro athlete for 12 months. WTF is he eating?

I personally think both Huss and Kondi ran out of petrol tickets as first year players.

That principle applies when gaining muscle mass as well. He might have overdone it trying to gain muscle prior to being drafted, and then I could see it being difficult to maintain a calorie deficit during an VFL/AFL season when recovery week to week is so important. I’ll be interested to see how much progress he makes over the preseason.

Huss needs to get into good condtion ASAP, otherwise he will be training with Mumford.
This would be a world of pain for him.

The biggest issue is the fact that he was allowed to get away with being so unprofessional.
No doubt players should live a professional life but if they don’t the club should not play them in the seniors until they are in the sort of shape a professional athlete should be in.
Seriously half our bloody problems are self inflicted.

This 100%.
A Middle aged bloke could drag himself off the couch and with some regular moderate exercise and few diet tweaks get himself into good shape.
These blokes have year round access to fitness guys, dietitians, training programs and gym equipment, yet to turn out in that shape is pretty average.
I guess the good news is that Huss is out there trying to do something about it, unlike myself who is sitting on the couch with a bag of chips critisizing him not being fit whist working hard on getting fit.

Huss looks like he is also sitting on the couch with some salt n vinegar
May is the closest we have to the prancing pony now and may turn out to be a better footballer. ( hopefully)

depending on how well Derm mentors him he might be more likely to clothesline an opponent than act up for the crowd.
