Ya it's a very physically demanding sport and more and more recently you need to be built big with gym work to make it onto the best teams. That's a pity from my point of view though, as I always enjoy skill and technique more than brute strength in sport.
Glad you enjoyed it man 👍
What about...PErformance enhancing drugs?
I honestly don't think it's a thing in Gaelic Football. Now because it's amateur, there aren't any drug screenings, but my gut feeling is that it is not really a thing and if it is then it is 1% or less in my opinion. Plenty of them taking protein shakes and creatine though to build muscle mass
