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.

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 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

Maybe even some party games with golf balls and hoses.

 

[Roo202]

kids generally have gotten taller over time.

What are you doing on BF if you're not a crackpot?

 

[JGreezy]

I don't think that those great players would be too short to be effective against today's taller kids.

If Wayne Carey came along today at 192cm then he could still be a great CHF. I just reckon people would say "he's only 192cm" and some would overlook him for that.

Same could be said with defenders as well!!
Trainor at 195cm, some consider him to be a possible 3rd KPD only in this draft yet consider this:
Who absolutely killed us against the Cats? 190cm Tom Stewart?
Would you say Hurn (188cm), McGovern (190) and Barrass (194) were one of the most feared backlines at their peak?
Without Steven May (190) and Jake Lever (194), Dees don't win a thing.
Are Weitering, Wilkie, Jack Buckley, considered as KPD's?

Height is great but it's what's between the ears that still can't be quantified and so far 200+cm gun forwards is still some what rare apart from McKay, Hipwood, Daniher and the King Bros...Sam Darcy has potential but who are the other 200+cm forward that we should worry about?

If Wayne Carey played today you'd put him on the ball. In his era the big CHF won games, now it's the big midfielder.

 

[Waynesworld]

Yes and then later on, we can sell cap to get top picks.

Someone here once said the going for cap is that 1 million = 2 top 10 picks at a minimum.

A bloke I worked with had a son who was a swimmer (didn't make the games team at the time though). The coaches insisted that the kid should eat a lot of chicken. From a particular shop. Special order.

Body strength, positioning and agility.

Apt. Well done!

 

[koshari]

Just doing my part for the greater good of the team

shooring up spots for your fantacy league players CCJ and Biggy more like it.

 

[chubbspeterson]

The only thing that could derail this momentum is if Taylor signs for 3

Not if it's with Nelson Alexander

Yep traits that both KPF and KPD share and require to be very good to great and also like to see reaction and acceleration times!!

 

[The acurate one]

Any truth that scott toured the GC facilities a few weeks ago?

Being honest, would we really care, he is part of the problem, not the solution.
And why haven't we offered him a deal.
We offered T Pink a deal lol.

We didn't offer Pink a deal, he triggered an extension

Yes , well the bar for said extension was clearly at tripping heights

Why haven't we offered Bailey an extension I suppose is the question.

 

[shinboner magic]

They’d want a first rounder

 

[Shinboner1]

Feels like we need to break into the first round with another pick.
Lots of good kids available this year
