Hrovat is small like JKH and has struggled to get games ahead of an even smaller Caleb Daniel.

Do we need such a player?

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.

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.

I added more players including the young and up coming kids.

Yes and he's "good enough".

And will get better with experience.

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
