Tom Lee height check

Post: # 1287429Post Con Gorozidis »

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?

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.

Another classic Con… love it.

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

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.

When you become a sainter you walk and stand taller.

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

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

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.

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.

Why do we always have these problems with 195cm Toms?

No one ever believed the Irish fella was his listed 195 height either :?

Yes, but rumour has it you tend to inflate personal measures often...

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

Significantly taller than Simpkin at 191cm, so I reckon he's listed about right.

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).

Siposs and Markworth look tall.
