Yep this highlights that we don’t necessarily need just talls. But some heavies that can manoeuvre there way through packs without much care.I don't really disagree with you, but it's funny to think back to growing up and watching Brownless (192), Dunstall (188), Carey (192), Ablett (185), Modra (188), Lloyd (192), Lockett (191), Taylor (191), even Fevola (191).
Now Charlie Curnow is seen as an undersized anomaly because he's only 194cm.
I'm off on a tangent but I wish that we'd played Brayden George like a full forward in the VFL. He's powerful on the lead and a beautiful kick.
And Duursma has the marking reach of a 197cm KPF and I hope that we aim to build his strength and make him a marking forward who has silky skills, rather than a slow, tall wing or midfielder.
I like what Thilthorpe has done. And was hopeful George could do that too, however, a Fogarty type 188-195cm /100kg+ wrecking bull, or just kinda fat in general…would be great for us
