David Cordner?

Would you? Please?

You are a clown. You've been proven flat out, 100% wrong time, and time, and time again...

And you're STILL trying to sell us this garbage. Until years from now a player at 192cm fails, and then you'll claim to be a genius, despite the dozens of success stories before them.

How does Y_M's crown feel on that noggin?

Your response alone shows that you don't understand. It's not about the ones that make it..its the ones that DON'T! There are hundreds of players that reached the heighest possible level as a junior in the tac cup, winning b+f's, all-australian selections etc yet didn't get picked up. The only possible reason is their height. No other logical reason why.

Your posts constantly contain illogical and erroneous things.

The only possible reason is you.

No other logical reason why your posts contain such tripe.

I rest your case.

Although, if we put insoles in Dylan Grimes' shoes, bumping him up to 193cm, could we be onto a winner??

Front runner for post of the year.

No other reason but height, hey?

Let me tell you something Freak. Do you think your "height" alone, enabled you to run over 16 a couple of times in the beep test which you've spruiked on this site recently?

Arrrnnt!!! Wrong answer.

It was your ability, skill, your will & desire, your application to training & determination (ie. and cue: enter Bailey's favourite word - competitiveness). That got you there.

I rest your case.

Oh yeah, indeed Jaded. Indeed. Or take the original insole out and qualify him for a midfielder (reduce him to <191cm)....

Fair dinkum.

We'd better be careful we don't give those insoles to Cale Morton (unless it's to eat), because that would bump him up to 192 and then we'd have wasted a top draft pick. Hopefully all those foot/ankle issues Garland has had will keep him from growing the fatal 1cm, too.

Come to think of it, I'll bet the reason the club passed on Tom Swift was not so much a worry about his shoulder as a concern that he would grow that cm and end up a spud. And knowing our luck, even if we hadn't lost pick 4 in 1999, and had grabbed Pavlich that draft, he probably would have had a different diet and we wouldn't be talking about a 191cm superstar at all.

Nick Riewolt's sometimes fluffly, sometimes spiky but never 'down' hair? The extra 1cm he needs for glory. David Neitz went bald specifically to keep the lid down.

Make no mistake, that centimeter is one of the most critical factors in a player's potential. The only time those guys look good is when they are matched up on eachother directly, like Lloyd and Scarlett.

Bryan Stynes?

Yze's brother? (not sure how you spell his first name!)

And blokes who had great brothers in other clubs;

Glen Jakovich's brother?

Che Cockatoo-Collins' twin brothers?

Not sure why I submitted this post, but I had a laugh while doing it!

Glen's Brother??? Alan was a legend, just unfortunate he didn't have enough personal drive for the game to continue through. But we all loved him at the time, admit it or not!

There were quite a few that were not so good

Wes Barrot (BILL)

Kelvin Mathews (LEIGH)

Tom Flower (ROBERT)

Don Whiiten (TED)

Don Nicholls (JOHN)

Even Father and Son

Alan Richardson (MATHEW)

John Lloyd (MATHEW)

Brian Brown (JOHNATHON)

Bryan Cousins (BEN)

There is of course many Fathers who were much better than their sons

Ken Fraser (Mark)

Ted Whitten (Ted Jnr)

Russell Ebert (Brett)

Barrie Robran (John and Mathew)

There is no guarrantee just because you carry a famous name

The logical reason is staring you in the face. They matured early. That's it.

Don't let the fact that you are clinging onto one of demonland's great howlers distract you from the fact that's staring you in the face.

You're wrong. It's very simple.

You rest your case?!

I'm sorry, I thought that was a figure of speech...

Case Closed.

If I hear objection and sustained one more time I am just going to scream!

Objection.

Sustained.

Aaaarrrrggghhh!!

Is that you Troy McClure ??

I wouldn't underestimate the pressure a star sibling puts on a club to draft a family member ala Shane Harvey at Nth Melbourne who they took over Aaron Davey if I remeber correct.

It would be a great story, if MFC drafted Dylan Grimes. But maybe the picks are to high? to grab him.

If he made it to the rookie draft then, he'd have to be a definate pick up for MFC.

Is that you Troy McClure ??

Why would Troy McClure sound like a lawyer?

Same actor, different dood

Lionel Hutz, people.

Phil Hartman's genius. Great comedian. Killed by his wife. Very sad.

Well, we lost the case. Your pizza's free.

No, we won.

That's OK, the box is empty.

Much props Mr. H.

I believe wood alcohol has to be poured on a curb? I don't really know.

Seems more sense to drink the stuff, but who am I to question other cultures?

Nice little article on family connections, with a bit on Dylan.

Connections almost the norm

Can't comment on whether he'd be a good fit for us or not, but its refreshing to hear for a change, that a player's preference is to be drafted by Melbourne.
