Richmond
Senior list only:
Average height is 188.7cm

How about yours?

 

[Madtiger2006]

I picked a random club and had a go at Melbourne's senior list
Senior list only:
Average height is 189.4cm
Average weight is 87.9kg

 

[Igloo]

Western Bulldogs:
Height: 187.3
Weight: 86.7

Good work. Is that senior list or senior and rookie combined?

Just senior. If it included both, it would probably even out to be roughly the same anyway. We have a few 190cm+ guys, but also some 180cm- guys. Weight, there is some in the 90's, 1 is down in the 60's.

What is the point of this exercise?

 

[UpTheGuts]

We now only have 2 players under 80kg on the senior list. Nahas and Webberley

Hardly definitive, but Hardwick issued a directive that we need more size drafted. The likes of McGuane bench press 145kg but just don't have the size required.

Geelong completely outmuscled Collingwood in the GF so it's understandable that sides will look to get bigger

Next year it'll probably be a return of the athlete.

Isn't it to make all you fatties feel guilty?

No seriously, it would be interesting to see how these stats have changed in the last couple of decades..

I would think taller and lighter.

Webberley is 80kg, so we only have 1 sub 80kg(Nahas). Mcguane benches over 150kg and is the strongest at the club

I'm bored here's Carlton's senior list
Senior list only:
Average height is 188.2cm
Average weight is 86.6kg

 

[melbournemartin]

Pretty sure I heard that Melbourne's is the tallest on average.

 

[exile]

188.6cm
84.6kg

 

[winty]

Height: 187.67cm
Weight: 86.55kg

Don't know how accurate the stats on the Cats homepage are though. According to them, Menzel weighs less than Varcoe, but Menzel looks a lot bigger than the 79kg he's listed at.

 

[Bender571]

Based on Freo's website

Height: 189.025
Weight: 86.525

Kinda interesting thread

Kinda interesting thread

We look to be the highest weight/height ratio so far. Would have never thought that a while back. Have been skinny for a long time in the past. We've recruited good sized players lately

 

[scaryness]

Senior List:
187.7 cm
87.7 kg

Mike Pyke is the tallest at 200cm
Ben McGlynn is the shortest at 174cm

Jesse White is the heaviest player at 107kg
Tom Mitchell is the Lightest at 73kg (but it's his first pre-season)

Adelaide

Pre-season boredom?

No seriously, it would be interesting to see how these stats have changed in the last couple of decades..

These numbers are summarised from the AFL's historical stats, e.g. http://stats.afl.com.au/public/statistics/playerseasonlist/4/2002/playerseasonlist_4_2002.shtml?club_idIndex=0&club_idValue=4&season_idIndex=105&AFLstatisticMenu=1

Some of the 2012 numbers were taken from different sources and might differ from official figures. Main list only, rookies excluded. Not all player statistics are known from the pre-WW2 era:
