Lee looked pretty tall in one shot. Could well be 195.
From the vision I saw he is most definitely at least 1957.7228 mm, maybe even taller.

If he's 195cm, that will be good.

But.

If he's good, that will be great. 8-)

He didn't look much shorter than Hickey when the three newbies were photographed standing next to each other and Hickey is 200 cms +. He's probably 194 or nearly 6 foot 5 in the old measurement.

Lee was at the combine this year and they measure their height to the mm there, as far as I'm aware and it was only after the combine that he started to be spoken of as being 195cm tall, in the papers and so on, so I take it they got that info from his combine results. Prior to that he was listed at 194cm, including on the Claremont website: http://www.wafl.com.au/players/view/2028

It has also been widely spoken about that he has grown since he first arrived at Adelaide, when he measured in at 191cm. The club is extremely excited about his prospects.

As for Siposs, he definitely looked to be at least 190cm to me out on the ground this year. It was very noticeable that he looked to be taller than "flanker size".

Jacko Ferguson and Jordan Staley also look to be taller than the 194cm they are listed at. Sam Dunell is another one who looks to be noticeably taller than the 190cm he is listed at, especially if you go by the team photo from earlier in the year, where he looks to be at least an inch taller than Dan Markworth (who is listed at 191cm) and even looks to be taller than Wilkes, who he is standing right next to.


YOU GET WHAT YOU SETTLE FOR.
