Never give up pal. I think I stopped growing just after MFCs last premiership. Maybe I'll get that late spurt when we win the next flag :unsure:

And more trivia - Doc (mr. Magic) Baldock held down CHF in a premiership side at 177cm (5'10") - think about it, that's Marric playing CHF!

I agree and Liam Jurrah is only 188 cms & champion or at least very very good Full forward in Modra & Dunstall were the same height - and we are all crying out for a monster Full forward at least 195cms tall.However, my friend-Daisycutter- there is NO NO hope of you and I having a groth spurt - the only way we would do it -is outways - getting more rotund..Got it??

    I have to disagree Hannabal, we have to worry about all these things....I mean I worry about the fact that on the way to school he might be stopping to buy a coke what happens in the next two years if he drinks a lot of coke...we know the danger to people's teeth when you drink a lot of coke...

    so as well as not growing after the age of 16, i want to add the coke worry as well to the list of worries I have about young Jack.

    But why stop there, i also worry that he might stay up watching too much TV, which could affect his eyesight, then how would he know where the ball lands after its bounced, let alone be able to spot our forwards if he is streaming out of defense.

    I mean there are so many things we need to worry about.

    I think the best thing for us would be to not draft him, so that we can stop worry and stressing for the next two years

    This reads like that painful Wayne the worrier advert sounds :(

    So what was Todd Viney? My estimate is 185cm and 88 kg.

    Todd played at about 6 foot. He was about 180 - 183 area from memory. Went at it like a bull. Great tenacity.

    I've always wondered about that. Neitz wasn't that huge. Lloyd who's the best of the last 15 years or so was 191. I think mostly people want Nick Riewoldt. And even he is only 193. Jack is 195.

    Almost no kids stop growing at 16! What the hell is this?

    Even I didn't stop growing at 16.

    Some kids have barely started their 'run' by then.

    Geezus.

    The kid can play, is all we really know.

    not too mention there are about 50 other components of what makes a player good or not

    some here would take a slow, unco, pea-hearted, lazy hack who is 190 cm over a complete gun who is 189 cm. Crazy.

    Just as long as he doesn't make it to 192cm.

    Hey, hey, he can make it to 192cm and still be a star...as long as he grows past it first!

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
