If he isn't nicknamed Roller, I'd like to nominate "Mungo".

For all those complaining about his height of 192cm and praising Marshall at 198cm...take out your weiners and that's the height difference. It would make bugger all difference on field.

So somewhere between Pettigrew, Burton, Stewart, Jones, Bonner, McCartin and Jonas…..
Good luck Tom. Hopefully you’ll fit our group nicely

If he was our tallest player we drafted this off-season it would be a disaster, but he’s the shortest player we drafted so I’m stoked.
Don’t like drafting Tasmanians, the last 15 years or so they’ve bombed at a high rate (who even are the good tassie players in the comp right now?) but that’s a generalisation.
He sounds like a decent addition, and the fact we’ve added 2 defenders (with one being over 195cm) is a positive.

To be fair, Thomas looked to track ok until North became the bomb site.
Would love him at Port.
Jones for all his detractors, looks a good Back Pocketer - Not worth a top 15 pick with what was on option around him, but if taken at 33/36 you would be happy with his output.

From that highlights package, I loved the way he attacked marking contests. Unlike a lot of video of tall defender prospects he really crashed the packs with authority. Not afraid to take a contested grab in defence.
Throw in the pace and the attacking instincts and he could be a real weapon.
Best available and the first piece in what was a defined strategy on draft night.

I'd prefer Tom Jonas replacement to be 198-201cm though. McCallum seems more a backup for Burton.
Dam... I need to measure my dick twice to get the cm required.
As a mid?
Good size, quick off the mark and already a solid build that'll only get bigger and stronger. Anyway just a thought.
Who was coming along nicely before his knee injury.
ALSO: Jake kolodjashnij, Ryan Gardner, Hugh Greenwood, Andrew Phillips, Jimmy Webster ...
RECENT PAST: Kade kolodjashnij, Mitch Robinson, Jackson Thurlow, Grant Burchell, Jesse Lonergan etc
Now we can add another, who will become a superstar at Port
If only there was a thing called wing span which is important when you're tall
It's not the height that generally matters your wingspan can also create a significant advantage even if it's just a few cm.
I'm always disappointed there isn't a wingspan, standing reach height and highest point measurement taken/released of players so we can get a better understanding of their athletic profile.
I can't comment on MacCullums but the two taller lads look like they've got arms for days
