Surprised that Humphries shorter than Close :think: are we sure of those figures. I’d put Close near Atkins size looking at TV etc
It's the sleeves that does it.
 
I don't go by Tall or Small, I go by Key Position v non-Key Position.

Key Forward: Primary marking target in a marking contest.
Key Defender: Directly opposes the Key Forward

Non-Key: everybody else.

Football is a fluid game, so in practice key position players change play by play, Jamie Elliot or Toby Greene will be a key position player despite their height, because when they're the target they're good at retaining the ball. The best players move with ease between the roles. Whether it is a big guy who is clean below their knees or an inside mid who can take a contested mark down the line.
 
SEN this evening was absolutely flogging a story about Curnow wanting to come to us. To the point he'd willingly take a pay cut to facilitate the move (cue Richmond fans' heads exploding).

It made me wonder (A) Do we even need him, and (B) What would we need to give up for him?

I think the biggest frustration when looking through the available albums is that most of the paired or group photos are like the above or below, where it's pretty obvious that players are leaning to one side making it hard to really gauge their heights in comparison to each other

Looking at this one believe below, I'm pretty sure that neither Close or Dempsey are taller than Henry, though both look pretty close to his height

Unless we can get a photo of our shorter guys standing side by side, the best determination we're going to have of their heights is what's listed across the various stat platforms

While on the news tonight the story is he's headed up to Sydney to meet with Cox
 
Interesting to read the posts about Jordan Clark
Wouldn't put him in the upset to lose pile, would he make us that much better?
In Zuthrie we trust!
 
I guess I can see the appeal of replacing cameron but I don't know how it could be a priority right now when cameron has just won the Coleman by 20 goals.

Maybe we are in his ear on the off chance his trade fails this year, Blues tank, Voss is sacked, then next year new management at Carlton is settling to deal?

Sounds like if Voss got the sack… then his serenity might return and he probably would be happier at PPark.

Both Caro and Sam Edmund reporting that Curnow is willing to take a pay cut to get to Geelong (supposedly, could be GC or Swans as well).

There is a 0% chance of this happening, but what would people be willing to give up if we are paying a smaller salary?
 
Key forwards are so hard to get. Be an awesome get even if it costs 2 first rounders and something.

In a good team Curnow is nigh on unstoppable.
