BALANCE is the key word for Adelaide ruckman Sam Jacobs, who's eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see how his lighter frame responds to four quarters of football.

Jacobs was unlucky to be overlooked for All Australian honours in 2012, but wasn't able to live up to that form last year.

This pre-season he has lost 3-4kg as a consequence of the club's shift in focus from strength to endurance.

The 25-year-old hoped a slimmer body would enable him to cover the ground easier just as long as it didn't mean other ruckmen would be able to outmuscle him.

A lot of the team has slimmed and the big Sauce is the prime example of a player that will spend most of his time in the one position, all good news for him and us anyway
