Tom Lee height check
I know he is listed as 195cm
But he was listed at 191cm when drafted by the Crows and from all the photos I have seen - he looks more like 193cm.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Did his mgt add 2cm during the Draft period?

Re: Tom Lee height check
Said the same thing when Milney interviewed him and he didn't look that much taller. Maybe he had big shoes and a lot of hair product when they measured him. He looks like a guy who can play well at ground level and in the air and maybe because he has a little less height on him. Jack Darling and jack Riewoldt don't suffer from being a little short for KPPs.

He forgot to take off his platform shoes when his height was last measured.

You have a super height gauge on you, listed at 195, but looks more like 193… 20mm - how do you do it?

From the photos I've seen he looks to have 17 more hairs on his face than his time with the crows

Re: Tom Lee height check
Just get him to stand next to someone else who you're sure is exactly 195cm and see if he measures up. Easy really.

The extra centimetres are easily explained.

He is 9.20cm tall in my photo and is standing next to a 30cm ruler he got at school.

Re: Tom Lee height check
If he's only 191cm (let's say, for argument's sake) - then his listed weight of 94 kgs would suggest huge thunder thighs and loads of core (lower) body strength, as his upper body doesn't appear to be particularly developed.
That's not his body type, though- i.e. he's not pear shaped.

Re: Tom Lee height check
If he was 191cm when iisted by the Crows at 17, I would expect him to be taller now. Kids dont stop growing at 17 as a rule.

Re: Tom Lee height check
Why do we always have these problems with 195cm Toms?
No one ever believed the Irish fella was his listed 195 height either

We are lying about his weight as well. In the photo I have of him he looks like he would weight around 2 grams.

Re: Tom Lee height check
Significantly taller than Simpkin at 191cm, so I reckon he's listed about right.
Re: Tom Lee height check
Whilst we're on the subject of heights, I'm just guessing but it looks like Arryn Siposs is comfortably over 190cm. I think he was quoted as saying he was 191cm last year - looks around 192cm (at a guess).
