Now you've really confused things
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
From linked story:
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/d ... 5844451689
"Stingrays squad: Jake Greeley (170, 65kg, Chelsea), Luke Parker (182, 82, Langwarrin), Lachlan Wallace (175, 69, Frankston YCW), Robert Hill (182, 76, Rowville), Tom Curren (178, 75, Mt Eliza)..."
Hope the Saints called out the one they intended to

so this year we've drafted:
ferguson: 189cm
siposs: 188cm
polo: 187cm
gamble: 184cm
andreoli: 183cm
cripps: 183cm
eddy: 182cm
crocker: 178cm
curren: 178cm
ledger: 178cm
average height of all of our draftees: 183cm
it's pretty impressive to get 10 players at an average height of about 7cm smaller than the afl average of about 190cm!
also, we lost three of our six tallest players in mcgrath, king and gaertner. do our coaching staff think that the sub rule is going to change the game significantly? or are we just redressing the balance from the last few years of drafting talls?

One of Arryn's teammates. Looking up the Stingrays' match reports, I didn't see him named in the best in the few games I looked at.
One of Ross's Moneyball speculations, no doubt...
I just hope the Saints didn't draft him for his athleticism. The waves of scorn that will emanate from this forum will be unbearable.

Simpkin 191cm
Cahill 192cm
Lynch 192cm
Stanley 200cm
And '09.
Walsh 195cm
Johnson 191cm
Winmar 189cm
Archer 193cm
I'd call it redressing the balance.

Ross made it clear they recruited talls the two years prior to the new teams coming in...with a mind to take midfielders this year hoping that some good ones would slip further down given GC and GWS will be looking for KPP's.

Firstly... I wasn't addressing your criteria.bobmurray wrote:I wouldn't list a 189cm player as a tall...

Secondly... have you considered the possibility that the 18/19 year olds may still be growing?

I think we have ample around that height...BJ, Sam, Gilbert, Demptser, Raph, Blake, Simpkin, Lynch, Walsh...bergholt wrote:

But pacey smalls to mediums with good footskills was an area we were lacking in.
That plus Lovett not working out.bergholt wrote:
