Ah OK. Still doesn't seem right. What's the weight of your package? (no homo)

I'm not sure... coupla CDs, t-shirt and poster. I think the poster will screw things up in terms of size. But they said $35 for my reward's shipping (as opposed to $28 for just the CD).

No worries. Yeah the dimensions of the poster screw it up a bit I guess. This is biggest I could find under $20: http://ircalc.usps.com/MailServices.aspx?country=10013&m=7&p=0&o=20&l=24&w=5&h=5&g=0&r=True

Cheers mate. Postage is becoming the bane of my existence, haha!

You guys need to get a room ^

 

[PatientMental]

Shipping from companies like Amazon is cheap cause they ship so much stuff in bulk overseas.

Postage for said room is too expensive.

nice rug

you know, i was looking at this thread post

do we really need an enforcer in the midfield now?

we must be getting close to one of the biggest midfields going around.

brad ebert.189 90
boak 183 85
wines 187 89
broadbent 189 89
moore 189 90
cornes 183 81
hartlett 185 83
wingard 181 81

and it got me thinking.
no, it got me depressed

i was 179cm by age 15, and grew about hmm, nothing more

im now 40 odd, and the boys are mid teens.
whats depressing, is to see one of these little runts like wingard, and think to yourself, hang on, he's taller than me.
that probably means cam hitchcock is bigger than me too
and if they are "those little runts" out there...what does that make me?

talk about depressing
talking about depression, taking hand me down sandshoes from your size 13 feet 14 yr old who can pat you on the head, yeah, thats depressing

but not AS depressing than your wife - who used to be 1/2 a cm shorter than you, double take on the weekend and ask the kids to check something

it would appear she has grown 1.5cm as she is now 1cm taller than yours truly. i've asked her what injections she's been on and whether she's been hanging around the Essendon area

thankfully she said "well at least thats the only thing thats shrunk"

but i think she was just being nice

happy 40th ****face

so back to the thread. anyone have an idea how big say the 1980s Maggies midfield was? Buckey, Russell, Bradley, Natt, those guys. Even Greg Phillips.?

Has it changed that much that quick, or am I just shrinking

(be gentle please, im not dealing with this well)

sigh. at least if the worst Maury DNA type verdict comes in, I'll have the comfort of knowing my bicepts are bigger than Daniel Stewart and Justin Westhoffs

The only thing that will increase is a heightened ability to continually delude yourself you haven't changed and believe you are still relevant

But I digress.

Well here is Brad(189cm) in comparison to Russell(183~cm)

 

[Macca19]

Scotty was 188. Tylor was 185. They wouldnt get a look in at FF now. Ginever, Brown, Borlase, Rohan, Bamford, Stephen Williams, Mahney, Settre, Hutton were all sub-180cm

It's why I chortle at the well-worn Dermie vs Sticks debate.

Sticks was what, 194? 196 even? Dermie was 186. So basically prime Sticks would still be a thermonuclear key forward and Derm, well, he'd be a rich man's Aaron Hamill.

 

[Rexie J]

Some may recall the era of Collingwood's "6 footers".

No player was listed under but a heap were listed at 6 ft despite obvious evidence to the contrary.

Team pics......folded arms with fists under biceps pushing them out.

I place little reliance on the accuray of player statistics presented by the clubs in the past and even now.

Centimetres here and there aside, Sticks was and is tall. Derm was tall in the 80's.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Perms here and there aside, Sticks had a shocking mullet. Derm had superfly hair in the 80's.

efa

it is amazing how short KP players were in the past. KP players seemed to be big by girth rather than height in the 80s....ala lockett and dunstall

 

[Doctor Feel]

Players these days are quite tall in all positions. It's funny watching them on the field and some of them look like short people in comparison to their team mates. Then you meet them outside of footy and they are formidable units. That said, Rodan and Mitchell are both literally short at 174cms. Hitchy is 176.

Funny how Hitchy cops so much about being tiny, being a baby etc and hes 5ft 10 which isn't exactly small, more like average.

The most deceptive one I found was Aaron Young @ 188cm.

 

[Portia]

Yeah, they are tall. I was so amazed when I saw Stephen Paxman in person the first time, he was an absolute beast really but just looked like some slightly chunky guy on the TV.

 

[Portmanteau]

Everyone remembers where they were when they first saw Stephen Paxman

Bryan Beinke was probably one of the last of those types. Looked like a KPP, played like a KPP...but was only 185cm tall. Thats the same height as Hartlett.
