Elijah Edwards = Brad Dick?

[Ed D]

Brad Dick may get a shot now Mark LeCras has done his knee and will miss the year.

He's still recovering from his own knee reco. From the sounds of it he wouldn't be right to play until well into the season.

Scotch are doing some type of training thing at Gosh's Paddock on Sunday, Sorry Copeland not sure how tall he is.

Everyone's different, but you'd be surprised if he's stopped growing at 15 -16 probably.

Not really. My son was 183cm at 12 and finished at 185cm at 15. Only grown outward since then

Well Stui, you've illustrated my point that everyone's different!

Here's the centile chart for boys heights.

You'll see that boys grow till eighteen and even a little bit after that.

You'd expect around 6-7 cms form 15th birthday, about 4-5 from the 16th birthday.

The other thing that happens, is that some boys might have a true age of say 15, but their bone age may be a couple of years different, ie their bone age may be only 13 ( ie have heaps more growing left) whereas others might be like your boy and at 15 have a bone age of around 18 ie pretty much stops growing!

Hopefully Elijah has a bone age of 13-14 and he'll grow a fair bit, you never know

If you want to know someone's bone age, you XRay the growth plates in the hands and there's a whole bunch of reference charts to guage the bone age.

Didn't Elijah break a bone in his leg in 2010? I'm no doctor but recovering so well would indicate to me that his bones are still growing which made recovery quicker.

Long Bow?

Low Blow?

Not wanting to mix my words or mince my metaphors, but that is an original cliche right there!

Ah well, there's one born out with the bath water!

Completely unrelated, really.

Growth of long bones occurs at the ends, where the cartilage turns into bone, known as the epiphyseal growth plate. Healing of a fractured bone shaft occurs via a different process in a different location.
