Selwood was about 182cm when drafted and 183/184cm by the time he retired. Clark is 181cm. (according to the Cats site).

What did Hardwick say?

We really need some quality, young, inside midfielders to build the next core around. Problem is you don't get access to them unless you finish near the bottom of the ladder. SDK must play 15-20 games next year. Same for Evans. Keep some senior guys on to give some of the youngsters a chop...

Unfortunately Vdubs when you have a negative finals record as we do since 2012 then the excuses are empty and come to be treated with cynicism. I mean, why does it always happen to us?

I agree they were impressive, but like Melbourne, they've both had access to some exceptional talent over the past 10 years as a result of many low ladder finishes. You can't say that about us (at least through the draft).

To say what happened last night is extremely disappointing would be an understatement. Melbourne were just way too good, we were terrible. Premierships are so hard to win, you can forgive the club for trying to do so while we great players like Selwood, Hawkins and Harry. We now desperately...

I'm very sorry for your loss, ypo.

I've heard he'll miss four weeks, I hope it's only that long.

How so?

Take it as a compliment. Our bottom few players used to be our weekness, not anymore.

I take it as a good sign. I remember in 2012 he tipped Sydney and then in 2014 he tipped the Hawks based on them both being the best 'teams' in the grand final. While he didn't use that specific point in his article it probably goes to his line of thinking.

Aren't there only a handful of players from the 2009 team who didn't make All Australian at some point of their careers? Varcoe, Blake, Byrnes, Rooke and Wojcinski are the only ones I can think of.

No one turns left like Yanet.

I thought our long kicks into our forward line were hardly ever in our forwards' favor.

Sometimes he looks like Scarlett, sometimes like Enright. What a problem to have.
