There just aren't enough good sub 180cm players to give me any confidence taking one in the first round. You basically have to throw out all the form you have seen at TAC cup level and hope they adjust to being short in the AFL.
I'm hoping for Oliver & Burton, but I'm also not stuck on a player having to be over 180cm if they are good enough
There are a number of sub 180cm players on almost every list that I would take
Eddie Betts (173cm), Rory Laird (178cm), Allen Christiansen (177cm), Dayne Zorko (174cm), Jamie Elliot (178cm), Jarryd Blair (174cm), Zack Merret (179cm), Lachie Neale (176cm), Dion Prestia (175cm), Brandon Matera (175cm), Adam Saad (178cm), Devon Smith (174cm), Sam Mitchell (179cm), Cyril Rioli (177cm), Jack Viney (178cm), Anthony Miles (179cm), Leigh Montagna (178cm), Keiran Jack (178cm), Luke Dahlhaus (178cm), Mitch Honeychurch (176cm), Caleb Daniel (167cm),
Paul Chapman (179cm), Ben Cousins (179cm) & Jason Akermanis (177cm) were all pretty handy too
You could make a premiership midfield out of just those players
