The Hawthorn supporters have been arguing a bit about how tall our list actually is and whether we should have recruited another key position player in the draft. So I had a look at the playing lists last night, giving 2 points to a player over 190cm, 1 point to a player between 180-190cm and 0 points for a player under 180cm. The results can be seen in the table below, along with the breakdowns in each category.
Team..............Points......190+.....181-190. .<180
Geelong.................49............15............19............4
Port Adelaide.........49............16............17............7
Melbourne..............48............12...........24.............1
Western Bulldogs...46............13...........20............5
Kangaroos..............46............13...........20............6
Collingwood............45............13...........19............5
Sydney....................45...........14............17...........7
Carlton....................45...........10............25...........3
Essendon................44...........12............20...........5
Adelaide..................44...........14............16...........9
Fremantle................42...........13............16...........10
St.Kilda....................41...........11............19............7
West Coast.............41...........11............19............9
Brisbane..................39...........9..............21...........6
Hawthorn................38...........10............18...........10
Richmond.................38...........9..............20...........8
I guess the interesting ones there are Richmond and Hawthorn having such short teams, and the height of the Western Bulldogs. But so much for Hawthorn having the 'tallest AFL team in history' as Mike Sheahan said last year.
