[joegreen]

But on the same page his bio reads as below and it will be like that till the day he retires! Ha.

Thredgold landed at Arden Street as pick No.26 in the 2025 AFL Draft.

The athletic 194cm South Australian originally hit the state scene as a ruck-forward at under-16 level and was played in various positions around the ground before finding his place as a shutdown key defender that has the ability to peel off and intercept.

In his draft season, Thredgold was adjudged best on ground in the SANFL Under-18 Grand Final, playing a vital role as Sturt defeated West Adelaide in the decider.

Doesn't look 10cm shorter than Souv. 194 still seems right.

Turns out the club is actually trying to fix this. All the data is hosted in a central database and they're trying to get this sorted. So we can breath a sigh of relief, he is 194.

I'm so confused. That must mean Dinkers is huge.
