problem with chaplin is, he has a variety of problems.
The bigger problem with Chaplin is he isn't playing.

You are setting the bar way too low, come on it is only Richmonds defence.
Set the bar too high and people bitch and moan, set it low and we'll be dancing in the streets. Option #2 please!

Are we expecting too much, he hasn't even played a VFL game yet has he? Don't get me wrong, i'm as excited about this kid as anyone, just think we all might be disappointed when he first play's against men and not other kids.

Pretty sure he has played against Box Hill with the AIS.

Is there still room for Joe Daniher to grow ? height wise. I mean he is listed at 201 right now, but going by the club photos he might of grown 1 or 2.

genetically speaking, it's definitely possible, rule of thumb is 21 for guys, 18 for girls as far as i know.
I've just gone 20 and am noticeably taller (over an inch) than I was when i finished VCE.

Although any taller and he'd probably be forced into a ruck role which isn't the best thing for him.

Few quick searches, came up with this. No structure, just random players that came to mind.
J.Brown: 195 cms
Pavlich: 192 cms
Buddy: 196 cms
Drew Petrie: 197 cms
Tom Hawkins: 197 cms
Kurt Tippet: 203 cms
Taylor Walker: 194 cms
Jack Riewoldt: 195 cms
Patrick Ryder: 196 cms
Naitanui: 201 cms
T.Cloke: 196 cms.

Bloody hell, didn't know Tippet was so tall.

I also had a growth spurt in my early 20's, I was 5'11 at age 14 and didn't grow again until I was 20, thank god I did!
It's totally possible!

Also, should I feel weird about the erection I have after watching that JD footage?

Just watched the video, he looks great.
He has amazing hands, can't wait until we unleash him in a real AFL game.

In one of his Vic Metro games, he kicked around 4.5 but could of easily kicked 8 or so. The more I watch, the more I believe he can have an impact this year (by impact I mean kick 20 goals in the season).

It's more weird to not have an erection after watching that footage.

Most guys stop growing at 18. Anything after that is so insignificant that it's not even worth measuring (like a mm in 4 years) and this is due to diet alone.

Homo sapiens are different to other apes in that we have one hormonal growth spurt, which happens during puberty. This stops at 18 (disregarding testosterone features such as those that are absent on males like Justin Beiber, etc)

This hormonal boost during puberty is what essentially makes us men and women, as before it we look the same.
