Scotty never looked particularly tall on the field, but frames make a difference. Hodges had broad shoulders.
Some players play a lot taller than their height would suggest, Jay Schulz wasn't what you would call a tall-tall forward but man could get off the ground and mark a footy.
One guy I wish that had a Premiership medal.

Nope. Chris Judd was taller than the 2 ruckmen in the AFL team of the century.

It's an interesting thing. Taylor Walker is tall by standards in a small town footy league and therefore started learning to play forward and develop his game there, which he has taken to AFL level, despite being a fairly 'undersized' by modern standards. If he were in a city however, he may never have been a key position player and that changes everything.
I wonder if we will start to see more things like this coming through. Players in more remote areas learning positions that there's no way they'd play in bigger leagues, and how that affects the draft and what not.

Willem Drew is apparently about 1cm shorter than Nick Riewoldt fwiw.
You look at the heights of Rucks / KPF's from teams of the century and half of them would be classified as small mid's or forwards these days. I'm 6'1' and would be a small mid or forward for that height, but would have been a KPF (if only I'd had any talent) or even possibly a ruck if I'd played in the 1940's or 50's.
I'm the same height as Jake Neade
But about 20 kegs heavier

You have to wonder why our squad is so average. Recruiting? Development? Culture?

Some of you may find this of interest, especially if you want to know why we are considering going down the Sydney co-captain route.
Its Cornes' conversation with Leading Teams guru Ray McLean and also Alan Stewart who gave McLean a go.
First one, back at the start of January I heard a replay interview that Cornes did with Allan Stewart. he was talking about the changes he made early on at getting the coaching gig at Centrals, then appointed a surprise new captain after his first year when existing skipper retired, and at 27 minute mark he says;
"Late in 1992 (end of 2nd year as coach), I had a phone call from a lad called Russell Evans, who played a little bit of football for Port Adelaide, but he was at the RAAF base, doing leadership training. I wanted to change our culture and I had a meeting with him," Cornes interrupts - he rang you? "Yep he rang me," Cornes again - like people often ring coaches and say I can do this I can do that, you should look at this you should look at that? "He actually said I'm doing this sort of stuff and he wanted to get a leg in, and he came and met me. I said I like the ideas, but I don't, I don't think you've got the presence to get it happening in front of my group. And to Russell's great credit, he didn't, he said look my boss, Ray McLean, does this all the time with the Orion pilots at the RAAF base."
So at 28 minute mark they start talking about Ray McLean's involvement, the initial 2 hour meeting and mentioned the 1992/93 preseason camp at Palmer in the Adelaide Hills and Stewart says this was the turning point for the Central Districts Football Club. I don't remember Russell Evans who played 21 games for Port between 1984-1986, according to the wiki page on list of Port Adelaide players. But if he had said * you to Stewart, Ray McLean may never have gotten into footy and sports leadership business. Hear all of Stewart's interview at;

So about 2 weeks ago I went for a long walk/run and was going to play some music at the start, but though lets hear who Cornes is interviewing today. It was Ray McLean. It was bloody interesting to me and I have kept checking Cornes' links on 5AA's website to listen to it again. The Centrals Palmer preseason camp Stewart mentioned above is discussed in full as does his evolution of working with/ the dynamics of teams in the RAAF. Hear it all at;

Thanks will have a listen tonight, not that I am one who is concerned about co captains anyway.

I don't reckon so. The options we had last year were Hoff and Gray.
By elite it normally means they are in the top few in the competition of their position.
You could name a million midfielders who were better than ours, a million forward and a million defenders.
Adelaide would have Talia, Laird and M. Crouch at minimum. I believe Seedsman was an elite winger this year too.
Nah Sa traditionally have a small FF, Panos springs to mind and so does that small guy that played full forward for SA this year that was so vanilla ive forgotten his name completely

Weren't we equal top the year before? Means nought (or we underachieved, overreacted and threw the baby out with the bathwater)

Like all rating systems, it relies on stats. They will never rate negating defenders properly because negating your opponent helps you win the game, but doesn't generate any stats.
Westhoff was an elite KPF because he plays on the wing. You have to take these with a grain of salt.
