I was browsing through the Sunday Age's preview for the season ahead when I saw this comment about one Kent Kingsley - "Undersized for a full forward and will benefit from not being the key target." I also remember Kent saying something similar at the end of last season when Geelong delisted him.
That struck me as rather strange, so I decided to investigate further. Kingsley was listed as being 193cm and 95kg, but is this really undersized when compared to the following?
Daniel Bradshaw: 191cm, 95kg
Brendon Fevola: 191cm, 98kg
Matthew Lloyd: 192cm, 91kg
Chris Tarrant: 192cm, 95kg
Nathan Thompson: 194cm, 100kg
David Neitz: 191cm, 100kg
Warren Tredrea: 194cm, 98kg
Interesting that Kent is pretty much the same height and weight when compared to the players listed above. So is Kent Kingsley really undersized as a full forward, or is he just trying to deflect attention away from the fact that he is really a hack?
