One of those rare weeks where the height line is more interesting than the age line!

2cm+ across the whole field is a pretty sizeable difference compared to the usual I think?

It's high, though not unprecedented. We were 2cm taller than Richmond when we played them earlier in the year. West Coast we went in with a 1.5cm deficit, and in our earlier matchup against Gold Coast they were still 1.3cm taller than us.

 

[Nathan Barley]

It's basically 1 ruck and 3 KPPs vs 2 rucks and 5 KPPs so not surprising

Ben Long is an amazing, unbelievable player and he will dominate today.

Taller and younger. Intriguing. Will be interesting to see how this changes 5pm tomorrow.

Wow St Kilda are way more experienced than you'd think. Shows they really are underperforming to where their profile suggests they should be at

Pretty concerned about our height.

Pretty concerned about our height.

Are we too tall or are they too short?

 

[Grasshopper17]

Are we too tall or are they too short?

I think we're too tall. I think Reville should be in for Smith. Have a feeling St Kilda's run on a fast track might bring us undone.

What about last week?

 

[Grasshopper17]

What about last week?

Last week I thought we outran Gold Coast. I finished watching the replay today and Gerard Healy's carry on about how we were struggling to run out the game really jarred with what I was seeing live at the ground.

We were 2cm shorter than the Suns on average, tomorrow we'll be basically 1cm taller than the Saints, needlessly in my view.

Just a pet peeve of mine. Whenever there’s a height differential according to posters on this board we’re at a disadvantage

I think Smith will be the sub anyway. Fagan played Fort as the sub when McStay were injured because without a tall backup our greatest risk was a tall injury.

Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily think having a taller team is ALWAYS a disadvantage. I just think that the way we want to play doesn't really suit that method. The kick-mark game, while it can appear relatively low risk, becomes incredibly risky when we make a skill error. That's when we have to scramble defensively, and having that extra tall, in my view, inhibits our ability to do that.

Hopefully I'm wrong. We'll see.
