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!

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
