These heights listing are all over the place
Steven May for example 190cm on wiki, GC website 193cm.
If you measure someone when they wake up in the morning compare to the arvo the will be a inch shorter in the arvo.

Marchbank is KPD will take the big forward. Plowman takes 3rd or 2nd. Weitering

Glass-McCasker develops in VFL and see if he can make it. KPD defence is set for 10 yrs

 

[Coona Blues]

Agree. It may change over time but the 195cms may be slower and that can be caught out. You saw in 2016 we moved from 2 bigs to 1 and some 6 foot 4s.

It's about defensive mix and types that can provide flexibility. Tomlinson seems to be able to do it all to me. Haven't seen marchbank.

Rowe - 198; Weitering - 195; Plowman - 193........perfect mix, but not sure was "1 big".

Marchbank - 193 and exceptionally "built" for one so young. The type who can play one on one, but has the dare and confidence
to back his judgement and meet the ball (dare I say, not unlike Rance in style)

Rowe is going nowhere and disrespected by so many on here, has at least 2 years to play out. Barring a trade being found
Jaksch is still in the mix and JGM developing.

I strongly suspect we will see Weitering lining up in the forward line. Jacob and Jack are both smart players so we will structure
up better immediately. Levi to attract the no. 1 defender (at least initially) and big Harry to be introduced in a timely manner.
Not exactly sure where Charlie fits in, forward mix with Harry, or perhaps off a wing serving a midfield apprenticeship?????

Would like to know if the Pickett accompanying Marchbank rumour is correct, would certainly add to our forward class if he can
get to his pre draft levels.

Just need a couple of midfielders.

 

[Jimmae]

rowe then jaksch?

Jaksch is unfortunately shaping up to be a 3rd tall at best; need to keep looking.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

With all due respect B70....anyone could make that statement.

Is this a fact?

Facts are for the facts thread

So what your saying is he will only play kpd during the day games?

 

[passmark]

What you missed is Tomlinson is playing for GWS firsts, is quoted as talking about the journey at the club (losing to Hawthorn by 150 points) and will stay at GWS.

That's what I thought.

 

[TheCoach16]

So a statement " I think Marchbank will be a Blue" is probably more appropriate?
Just sayin

I think you need to consider the source...

If I posted "Marchbank will be a Blue", you just know I have no idea and talking out my arse....

But there are some posters, barass70 and a couple of others who just seem to get things spot on very consistently. So, although I see your point, my advice would be to pay more attention to the poster than the post....

 

[Gethelred]

Tuohy very unlikely to be at North both parties gone cold.

First impulse: YESSSSSS!!!!

I'm mentally all for trading players we have surplus in for their positions, so intellectually it makes sense that we should trade Tuohy to get back into the first round. But he's by far my favourite Carlton player, beyond Gibbs, and beyond Kruezer. Can't be sad at all if he stays with us.

 

[Lawrence Angwin]

Listed height isn't everything. It's an indication but there are other factors that are just as, if not more, important. I'd put wingspan and shoulder height above overall height. Look at Schache, he's 200cm but he has a giant bonce, putting him shoulder to shoulder with some shorter blokes. Body weight and frame size help quite a bit for defenders too.

When SOS was talking about Marchbank in his draft year he said he could play defence, forward, and even as a midfielder (we've heard that before ) so he might have other plans for him.

That's why Watson was never going to make it as a KPD. His shoulders were the same as height as Murphys but his gigantic bonce had him listed at 195.

Great advice!

Fact.

 

[HBF]

Just trying to get my point across.
Will be first to acknowledge B70 if he's correct.
Just reckon a lot of people take everything said as gospel.

Well he has the runs on the board to back it up.

 

[Lace_Out]

Fact.

Fiction more like it.
Watson was still a big boy. He didn't make it as his agility was poor and he just didn't have it between the ears to compensate. The club was also not the epicenter of player development at the time.

Very happy about Marchbank.

Expect it will be a future pick.

Really need to prise a surplus second rounder off the Gold Coast this year. After Prestia and JOM, they will likely have four in the first and four in the second, plus pick 40.

Looks like they well give one for Witts so the idea that they may give another for Everett and Graham is not as absurd as it sounds.

 

[ferrisb]

Love it.

I reckon next years second would be logical for us to offer for Marchbank and his band of amputees.

Tis but a lisfranc fracture. Just a flesh wound...

 

[ShanDog]

Big Footy and the Adult Industry are the only places in the known universe where talent is measured in centimeters. Paul Salmon was a 11cm better full forward than Jason Dunstall, apparently.

It's all camera trickery!!

Agree, seeing Tuohy or Kreuzer in another jumper would be heart breaking, although it would make sense to trade them for a pick in the top 20.

I have a better interpretation of what you were up to

I've had a shocking day but this made me laugh like a fool.

That's a good point, i didn't think about future pick.

 

[thylacine60]

Whilst optimistic, ill be much happier when the Marchbank trade goes through. Stranger things have happened.

shutup then.......

 

[mediumsizered]

With all due respect B70....anyone could make that statement.

As close to a fact as you can have 2 1/2 weeks out from the trade period.

 

[serenityNow]

Marchbank will be a Carlton player.
