194cm now.

Big boy. Taller than Darling and Waterman. Slightly taller than me.

Don't want to give up on him as a mid but this hybrid role could be a goer. Good for his confidence if anything. 60-40 split fwd/mid could work.
Different players but Petracca played substantial amounts of the game forward for a few years before properly breaking out as a midfielder.

No harm in leaving Culley forward for the rest of the year.

Darling has had a pretty incredible career as an undersized KPF. That's not a bad role if Culley can make it work.
 
Speaking of underzsized Key forwards, reckon Jacob Van Rooyen will be one. Has strength, leap and athleticism to match the best of the best key backs

Hopefully an indication that he has no intention of going anywhere

Doesn't really seem the time to get homesick. Stayed in the state over summer to travel around, plus going to Bali with the boys. Noah Long mentioned they go around his house a bit. Seems pretty well settled.

What direction was he facing when he said it though?
 
What was Christian Petracca like in his first AFL year?
Culley has some resemblance to Petracca‘s playing style.
 
1. What do they differ?
2. To me they are both strong with similar speed. Petracca was not a speedy player in his drafted year.

How was Petracca like in his first AFL year?

Petracca missed his first year due to an ACL injury

Was a slow burn after that mostly playing as a half-forward. Was the COVID year of 2020 he finally moved into the midfield and hasn't looked back.

Petracca was lightning quick as a junior. Culley is slow. Petracca would still very easily have Culley covered for top speed and even more so on burst speed.
