How many under 180 do you need on your list? How many in the Hawthorn or Freo sides? Bit unRoos like to go for midgets.

Hawthorn

Puopolo 173cm

Mitchell 179cm

Rioli 177cm

Hartung 177cm

Hill 181cm

Duryea 179cm

Anderson 179cm

Simpkin 179cm

Fremantle

Ballantyne 173cm

Pearce 178cm

Walters 177cm

Neale 176cm

Mzungu 181cm

Suban 181cm

Grey 181cm

Langdon 181cm

Deluca 180cm

Weller 181cm

Melbourne

Jones 180cm

Stretch 180cm

Viney 178cm

Kent 178cm

JKH 173cm

Garlett 180cm

Jetta 180cm

Height should never be an issue. If Hrovat is seriously good enough to make it then height won't stop him. Lachie Neale is someone we would all love to have in our midfield as he is a huge ball magnet. And that's what we need is more midfield depth who can actually win the footy and Hrovat is that type.

If he was there I would no doubt jump at the opportunity.

Btw going by that those two club you mentioned have more smaller players then ours.

Bit of research wouldn't go astray.....

I've rewatched some of Hrovat's junior performances and a couple of his Doggies games. The Sam Mitchell comparison holds up. His composure and ball use is still good at AFL standard and he is worth pursuing. I'd be much happier giving up our 2nd rounder for him ahead of Melksham.

There are 4 mids in that lot under 180cm.

I agree that height isn't an issue if you're good enough, which is why I'd love Prestia.

I'm not convinced Hrovat is good enough.

The ball spends as much time on the deck as it does above your head in the stoppages. You don't want 10 175cm midfielders, but a mix is not a bad thing.

Forget about what height he doesn't have. Look at what he DOES! We need real speed and contested ball winning ability and while he isn't elite, he is above average at both.

If he joined us, he would be only behind Viney as a young mid with both these specific qualities

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
