Cotch to be on One Week At A Time

[Tigermonk]

Walls is spot on about the height of our list, we are too small & frameless 

Them small players would only work if we were not turnover kings & ran in waves & hard running
Seeing we dont run in waves & dispose the ball the flat footed players too close that stuffs that plan up 

[WA Tiger]

I agree as well  .

I never understood why we went with 5 smalls as rookies rather than looking for talls and especially another ruckman ???.

Cuz (ret.), King and Whitey will probably get the axe at the end of the season.

It's not so much the size for mine, although it is worrying when laid out like that, it's actually the fact that we play them all together. I suppose when Griffiths is right things may be different. For next week I would have Polak, Browne, Vickery and Graham in the side. Drop Farmer & King.

Walls also brought up how small we are and listed everyone on our list 183cm and under (ie. under 6 ft). He called us "Tiny Tigers".

Newman (183), O'Reilly# (183), Webberley (181), Contin# (181), Edwards (180), Farmer (180), Tambling (180), Cousins (179), White (179), Nason (179), Foley (177), Gilligan# (177), Nahas (176), Hicks# (176), Roberts# (176), King (174)

Walls said our recruiters shouldn't draft anyone under 185cm for the next two years as we have more than enough smalls as is.

Seemed to work fine for Port Adelaide, seen their Premiership 22?

Times change though Infamy and not just that are our smalls as good as Ports GF side? I doubt it.

Yep size matters. Look at Geelong. I think they average 5kg per player over us  . The best sides have physical presence. Even with Port in 2004 their smalls in Pickett, Dew, Carr and Roger James were solidly built (85-90kgs) and were physical both at the footy and opponent.

Quality is one thing, not sure what it has to do with height

All I am saying is that the players Port had that were the same size as the players we have were way better. If our players that were mentioned as being too small were as good as the Port players of the same size we wouldn't be having this conversation. We have too many smalls that just arn't good enough in this side.

I have no problem with that, however people aren't saying that we have too many poor quality smalls, just that we have too many smalls.

Yeah true they are, it's a pitty they don't break down each players quality or lack of quality and grade them on that.

[mightytiges]

We have the shortest as well as lightest list in the AFL. You go to each game now and man-on-man we physically look smaller both in terms of height and body-size/strength. We have 12 guys 180cm or less with 5 out of our 8 rookies that size. That's just ridiculous. Carlton have 7 in total with one rookie that size. Essendon have 8 with 3 of them rookies. Melbourne have 8 as well all senior listed. Eagles 6 with 3 of them rookies.

They all hate us, right back to the biggest one of them all Tony Shaw, still dirty from the 1980 GF walloping!!. Frawley is the only one that I have heard lately that does not talk about us with contempt in his voice. BT does it, Healy does it, the list goes on. Wait for another year, Wallace will be back in the commentory position and he will be doing it.

Lets just hope we can start winning to shut these people up,.
