[Dayts]

Interesting take here but unless he’s grown, I’m sure the lady lists him at 190.5?

Legend. It's going to be fun watching all these guys come through the ranks together.

Based on what I’ve seen I don’t think he’s taller than 192/193 at most. Not sure where the 195 reports have come from

Pretty tricky to pick the difference between 193 and 195cm.

What is not considered is arm length.

I would guess he’s 190cm, the only thing throwing me off was his draft height at 193cm supposedly

 

[Taylor]

He'll end up in the midfield and nobody will mind whether he is the same height or smaller than Erasmus and Johnson

I'm not convinced he ends up there. Longmuir seems pretty conservative re positions, and we have decent midfield prospects anyway, especially with Erasmus and Johnson joining plus O'Driscoll BUTT. .

 

[Madas]

I’m not going to make big calls but I did hear an interview with JL earlier this year and he specifically mentioned Chappy as a replacement for Hammer .
Having watched a few of his games and seeing the similarities to Johnson I’m leaning towards him become a key defender in the future

From what I have heard he definitely wants the defence to be an absolute fortress, with the capacity to fire back fast.

Take away his hair and he’s actually 185cm.

Wouldn't that be BUTTT?

A lot of people do a lot of growing heightwise post 17-18 yo, sometimes that growth can continue even into the late 20's.

Hopefully into the 30s for me. I am 29 and I am still waiting for a teens growth spurt.

 

[wayToGo_]

Some of the analysis on here is terrible. If you put photos of Chapman and Sandilands side by side it is pretty clear they are the same height.

Is it called a growth spurt if it's outwards and not upwards? Asking for a friend.

In the biz* we call that the "girth spurt"

*that biz being anywhere where you sit down for 8+ hours a day

“I know now I can easily match it at that level"


What a champ with that level of confidence.

Yep. Chapman is training as well as anyone. Him and Logue rotate between playing on talls and smalls. Chapman looks great n match sims playing on smalls and going for his marks way more than he did playing last season.
