Your argument is hardly convincing. What difference does height make for an inside mid? After you explain then we can talk.I feel like I’m general the rule is when the game matters you only want 1 small mid max and they should be strong/bulky (see Lachie Neale or Titch)
Those tigers teams had Cotch and Dusty who were both midsize mids on ball when it mattered.
Average player height also seems to be getting taller so what was a tall 15-20 years ago isn’t anymore.
