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!

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
