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 REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
