Name me a successful defence which is this tall...

Happy for you to discuss on crowcast. ;)
Did you know in 2015 Hurley matched up on Membrey (188cm) and also L Thomas. You also seem to be missing the opportunity a player like Hurley presents.

Maybe it's more instructive to give you some names from the 2015 Hawks grand final forward line.

Shoenmakers 195cm
Gunston 193cm
Hale 201cm/McEvoy 200cm
Roughead 193cm

So you won't give me a successful side with 4 tall defenders...

Talia, Hurley & lever is plenty tall enough to take on any forward line. Go taller & you give away rebound, which is key in the modern game.

All tall backmen, replace Lonergan with Scarlett and yeah.. They go with 4 talls.

Btw when researching the heights.. I found Corey Enright is only 187cm? Surely not, he looks MUCH taller than that! Maybe he's got long arms or something.

Should go after hurley and mitchell or take a punt on o'meara. Mitchell would only go to a fellow top 4 club which we meet. Along with a fit hampton , knight, menzel we would be premiership favourites for 2017.

Maybe there's not, but don't you think there should be given the premiership forward line.

Here's a hint - Hawks haven't changed that structure this year either

He might be given his combination of pace and leg length. With regards to Brown there was an article on the club's website one past preseason that ranked the top performers in sprint training and Brown was well placed among them, although I can't remember much else about the article unfortunately and subsequent searches have been fruitless.
THIS one?

I have watched him his whole career.

His best footy has been as a chb.

Are you seriously going to argue otherwise...
Hurley won AA at U18 championships as a Full Back ......he's best as a straight ahead type player, not great agility and turning circle as a forward .....but his aggression and attack on the ball has allowed him to have some success as a forward
