Who is the shortest player currently on an AFL list?

[-VC-]

I thought Simon Phillips at 174cm might be, but my mate reckons there might be someone shorter. Anyone know who is the shortest on a main list and who is the shortest on a rookie list?

 

[Grimreepah]

Wirrpanda is listed at 173cm.
Brent Harvey is listed at 172cm.

 

[Sandola]

David Rodan at 172 cm?

[Mervyn Beasley]

that cant be right

what about Rodan or Ebert??

Eberts head is about 4ft from forehead to chin so couldnt be him.
Wirrpanda must be the tallest 173cm person ever.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Matt Campbell was listed as 168 when we drafted him last year.

174cm , 69kg at the start of the season.

 

[mattdavies_03]

Davey it is

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Davey it is

Correct.

 

[TheTimeCometh]

Wirrpanda must be the tallest 173cm person ever.

hahaha! f**k yeah! and i'm seven foot five.



ebert is an exception to the head=1/8th rule.

 

[Dusky]

Eberts head is about 4ft from forehead to chin so couldnt be him.

Always reminds me of.....

 

[davey_23]

North must have had Matt Campbell standing on a chair when they measured him.


He is definetly not 174

 

[Ted Ed Fred]

Eberts head is about 4ft from forehead to chin so couldnt be him.
Wirrpanda must be the tallest 173cm person ever.

Hahaha, I noticed how big Ebert's head is when I saw him standing next to Nicoski they other night

As for Wirrpanda, he has long arms so that probably makes him look taller and lankier than he is. Embley is another one with long arms, he's not as tall as he looks either

 

[Hawthorn United]

that cant be right

what about Rodan or Ebert??

If Ebert had a normal sized head then maybe.

 

[TheTimeCometh]

Always reminds me of.....

i thought you were gonna post a pic of the dude from the movie 'Willow'....

Thanks guys. Turns out he's not even the shortest at his club.

Would he be the lightest though? As I recall he tips less than 70kg.
