It’s interesting, had we got luko. , what would we have done , only had one pick or delist someone

 

[WaynesWorld19]

He's not going to be a key forward at AFL level though, which is why he appears certain to drop all the way down to the 30s or 40s on draft night

Scott was a FF for us ....191 cm FF are normal

Tex is only 194cm & not really the jumper Tyler is

Same thing was said about Jack Darling in his Draft Year ...."an in between size, what's his role at AFL level"

298 games later ......

spot on and lime darling, welsh will look a lot bigger than that on field

also scott welsh was only 188 and nowhere near the size of tyler

Some players play taller than others too... particularly if a good mark overhead.

Yeah Darling definitely plays taller. I haven't watched Welsh, so I'm probably not the best person to defend his height anyway haha.
Feel like most would assume Darling was around 194-195 based on how he plays. He definitely plays taller than his height suggests.
Doedee is another who plays taller than his height.
Perhaps these players need to be labelled 'John Mayers' (Bigger than their body gives them credit for )

also, anyone stressing over height needs to get a ruler or measuring tape out, and just consider how little 1-5cm really matters.
That discrepancy in height is absorbed (and then some) by natural footballing ability (making space/separation, reading the flight of the ball, timing, and good hands), strength, and speed.

And neck length.

I think so but I suspect we had a fairly good idea almost as far back as signing Tex on again that we were likely to miss out on Luko.

Rozee spoke about Luko back in mid August about how they were best mates. He doesn't do that unless they were the front runner.

 

[Coopers]

Fraser Gehrig (G-Train) though he was a bigger unit than Tyler Welsh

Gehrig also had a really big head though

Which is good news for Welsh and Turray

 

[WaynesWorld19]

 

[El Doederino]

I still wouldn't be surprised if over the course of this trade period, there is a trade out.

Surprised there is no talk on Rachele. Surely a Melbourne-based club would have made enquiries.

Also think Butts might have some interest now that Keane has been re-signed.

I don't think any of our midfield options would be of interest. I do remember part-way through this year, there was talk of clubs look at Dowling when he wasn't getting a game with us. He would be most likely.

Part of an "aggressive" trade strategy would also mean aggressively turning over players as well. The re-signing of Berry was disappointing as it limited how aggressive we could be.
