Melbourne Players have Shrunk

Cranky Franky

A few years the height of our players changed overnight. Robbo who had been 184 for years went to 187 & Brad Miller went from 192 to 194.

Now I get the 09 guide book & guess what? Col Garland has shrunk from 191 to 189 & Miller is back to 192. Newton has lost 3cm while Macnamara & Buckley have both lost 1cm from last year & but Jamar is up 1cm to 198.

The big surprise packet is Stef Martin who over the break has grown 4cm to be at 200cm.

Is it something in the Casey water ????

    Not sure about the others but Newton could easily have lost 3cm by toning down the fauxhawk.

    I'd be more worried about Rohan Bail who's put on 10 kg (again) to be back to 91kg. This is a lot of weight for a speedy young wingman-forward

    to be lugging around. Makes those stories about him being a decorated distance runner look dubious as well.

    These numbers are rubbish.

    Every club does that.

    I reckon they must measure them with shoes on some years and not others

    I reckon you're right. Except, who ever heard of a person gaining 10 kg from their shoes? By the way, what's your avatar supposed to be?

    Its from the movie 'Max Payne' -- possibly THE worst movie I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through. Horrid.

    Call me pedantic but its a serious matter.

    If Steph Martin can add another 4cm in 2010 he will be our No 1 Ruckman

    Yeah it is a pretty average movie.

    That scene is cool though. If the whole movie was from a messed up drug perspective it might have been pretty good :lol:

    Not impossible for a guy his age to put on a few centimetres...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
