Back on topic, and just to put things into perspective, this from the AFL website:
Gourdis standing vertical leap was 81cm.
The 101cm jump refers to his running right foot leap.

Back on topic, and just to put things into perspective, this from the AFL website:
I will be up front and say that I didn't see a lot of the champs last year, but I did see Kreuzer and Naitanui go head to head.
It seemed to me that while Nait jumped over Kreuzer for the hitouts, that Kreuzer beat him when the ball hit the ground, and also getting to contests around the ground.
I feel like I'll be saying that a lot about Kreuzer over his career.
Firstly, is this a fair assessment of where they were at a year ago, and has her improved his work around the stopages and around the ground.
Hampson in a ruckman with a big leap.......but without the footy smarts and workrate around the ground he struggles.
Worthy comparison?

I would be more willing to compare NickNat to Kreuzer than Hampson.....he has a workrate and hunger for the contest similar to Kreuzer, he works harder around the ground than Hampson and as far as footy smarts I think his intensity and concentration hold him in better stead than Hampson (not knocking Hammo, I think he will be a good contributor for us). Hammo sometimes looks a bit lost around the ground, and requires a bit more coaching, etc... While he's no Cox in that regard, NN already seems to require less coaching and positioning around the ground is a bit more instinctual. NN like Kreuz provides an extra clearance player once the ball hits the deck.....not as instinctive as Kreuzer (e.g. the timing of his run out of the middle against Brisbane), but if he gets there (I think he will), he will be a freak.

Sounds like he has improved a lot from last year, or the game vs Vics wasn't his best for the around the grounds work.
Anyone want to tank?

He wasn't the cleanest in that game, but geeez, couldn't you see his endeavour and intensity? Sounds trivial but you go watch TAC games each weekend and it is rare in young ruckmen.

I know our run home is hard but have some f@#ken faith. Even with a few injuries this team is not going on a 3 month losing streak again for a VERY long time.
On NicNat he apparently visited the Carlton rooms after the game AND the Weagles rooms before the game. Wouldn't read much into it.

it will never end........................
I'm sure most of you have heard this already but he was in your rooms because Ellard was getting a game. They are mates from Swan Districts in the WAFL.
I don't think Nick would go to into your rooms because he wants to anyway. I hear he's a Collingwood supporter.

Don't be silly mate, any young footballer in the country would give his left testicle to meet Judd and Fevola - particularly in the build-up to a game.
