Yeah he looks as tall as Brander (listed as 195cm).
Preview How will we line up in R1 v Brisbane Lions?

I'd be interested to see them side by side, I wouldn't be surprised if Allen was taller
Yeah but Brander has a couple inches on him downstairs.
wAFL had him at 193 last year

Based off what I’ve seen and injuries accounted for
Cole Barrass Duggan
Hurn McGovern Shepherd
Masten Shuey Yeo
Ryan Darling Petraculle
Willie JK Vardy
Hickey Sheed Redden
Jetta Hutchings O Allen Venables
Cole Barrass Duggan
Hurn McGovern Shepherd
Masten Shuey Yeo
Ryan Darling Petraculle
Willie JK Vardy
Hickey Sheed Redden
Jetta Hutchings O Allen Venables
Hurn, Barrass, Cole
Watson, McGovern, Jetta
Sheppard, Shuey, Sheed
Ryan, Vardy, OAllen
Rioli, Darling, Venebles
Hickey, Redden, Yeo
Duggan, Masten, Petracelle
Backline: Shep seemed to play higher up the ground in JLT1 as more of a defensive link man and I think he offers more than Masten in our possession game plan.
Midfield: Once Gaff return, Shep drops back to a flank, Watson to the bench and drop Masten. When Sheed goes into the guts, Shep can move up onto the wing.
Fwds: I'm not sold on Petracelle yet, and he makes way for Cripps once fit. OAllen probably dropped when JK is fit although we may play only Vardy and OAllen against teams with struggling ruck stocks like Brisbane, Freo and Richmond.

Is there any word on whats up with JK?
Yeah hope he is around 195cm, exciting times ahead will be a gun KPF
Yep, I get all the love for Watson, but who does he replace, only through injury or limited learning curve rotations, possibly against bottom 8 sides.
Ahchee been strangely absent, not injured like last preseason? Not on the injury list!
Was named in the GF emergency list.
This from Feb.4th -
"Strong overhead and with the ability to play taller than his 188cm, Ah Chee's ability to go forward and take a mark appealed to West Coast.
But he is backing himself to become a midfield regular, and is among a host of Eagles who has shed weight this summer to improve his running.
Ah Chee clocked a personal best 2km time trial before Christmas, and is using teammate Jack Redden's form spike as inspiration heading into next season..."
Is it possible he's being kept in wraps and unveiled at JLT2 or Round 1, as part of some sort of tactical surprise? Just seems odd, on the cusp yet deliberately withheld and not injured?
I think that might have been his recruitment height .. I agree with others i think he has grown ... im guessing 195
or he has real long studs on his boots
He would be around 193-194 at minimum.

Yeah wonder what's going on with AhChee. Super quiet this preseason.
If he doesn't show enough IMO he's gone at the end of the year.
Hahaha you don't know much about football if you think Cole is going to be forced out.

I don't think Cole will be forced out.
But IF Watson WAS to force his way in (not just play due to injury) then Cole is the player I think he would replace.
Ah Chee showed nothing last year. I'd rather play Petch, who has at least shown flashes, until Brendan gives us a reason to put him in.
Not really. Cole or Duggan would have to play some shithouse footy to be dropped and watto would have to be banging the door down in the two's. They were awesome last year and Coles has the x facttor that franky possesses but isn't prone to a lot of mistakes. Franky just needs to wait for an injury.
I know we are 1 JLT game in but its incredible that in less than 12 months Nelson's gone from the next inline defender to be overtaken by Cole and now Watson.
reckon he still offers us something. Maybe with our lack of genuine wing depth, he could play there in the reserves.

Ah Chee showed some good signs, patches in games...was named emergency in GF, counts for something? But where is he?
