Craig Bradley was the last I remember though Brad Green I believe was a top grade junior cricketer. 

Brad Green was a gun cricketer.  I believe he represented Australia at an underage level, might even have been captain.  I played a game of schoolboys cricket against him in College and he hit about 180 odd.  Crushing everything out of the middle.

He also took a hanger on me in Under 18s footy.  If he didn't end up at the Dees I would have hated him I reckon!

    I'd go with "Lukes" Guy Walker

    Hehe. No one got behind my Chew-Baker campaign for our wild red-headed recruit Oskar but I certainly endorse Lukes for this random new guy on our list. Maybe they can form a little crew together with CP5-O and Clayton 'hands-solo' to track down Princess Lumumba.

    Yes but in those days the average height of the male population was about 165cm.

    Yeah, Steyn is from the stone age. I picked a selection from various era's. You said 184 was to short to be much of a fast bowler. Do you reckon any of those mentioned wouldn't be as effective now? 

    As far as I know 160kph hasn’t changed since the early 00s.

    So you're saying that the bowling speed of a male bowler is a function of a bowlers height relative to the average height of males in that era?

    As Nasher said - 160 kph is 160 kph whenever the ball is bowled and by whoever bowls it.

    Far too old for the rookie list I believe.

    Tannishtha Chatterjee is 1.65m tall and she’s wearing an 8cm heal in the above photo. Lee’s still about 14cm taller in the image which would make him 1.87cm in total.

    Where's his hands? That would make him stand taller

    Good to see the recruiting staff still thinking outside the box.

    I hope they continue to follow Will Sutherland's cricket career. He was an absolute weapon as a junior.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
