- I don't watch much football these days but isn't hale best role forward in last few years
- my google says Richo 197. IMO 197 is close to 200.
- you like Patton @ 197... Bt 200 is too big? Lol three cm. sound pretty set in stone to me
- kosi finished on 250 goals. Nt too shabby. 1.2 a game same as Tyrone Vickery... I remember a purple patch where he s going like Wayne Carey,. His hight we not a disadvantage during the wee period where he was killing it.
Seeing as jack dyer was the same hight as dustin Martin. Would a possible reason not be as follows - historically a 200 player would of played in the ruck. As ruckman were not unusual at 6'2, 6'3. Which was seen as big back then, but only medium now?
What do you make of Buckley playing that giraffe at center half back/full back? Okeefe?
as i said take out of it what you like i couldnt give a stuff. yur attitude doesnt surprise me in the least.
out of the hundreds of talls on lists you go thru and show us all, the number of 200cm plus players who have become real good consistent kpfs.then tell us all that its normal for these types to become good kpfs.
when talking kpfs if you want to ignore the very real fact that so few at 200cm and above have become good players well thats your prerogative.
why do you think theres been talk of peter wright slipping in the draft and yet the shorter mccartin is a top 10 cert. simple people are reasonably certain mccartin will be top notch they cant say that about wright in either role.
just to finish its clear you dont watch much footy, hale has played mostly in the ruck since going to hawthorn.hes become a pretty decent ruckman imo but you cant say the same about him as a kpf.played mostly fwd at nm and struggled imo.
i have richo listed at 195 for every yr from 05 - his retirement. but im not going to quibble 195 197 he falls into the area where kps have been constantly good. dont you think theres something to take and learnfrom that. apparently not.
did i say i like patton i dont think so but wonders will never cease he falls into that category.
kosi was 197cm played most of his career as a fwd and most yrs was ordinary imo. he falls into same height category as richo cloke and most other kpfs who have been good not that i think kosi any good.
if you think 20 25 goals a season is good enough for one of your key fwds then you do have the bar set way too low. kosi played as a kp most of his career and only once kicked more than 30 goals.
still id take kosi over vickery anyday atm.
historically 200cm players still play in the ruck.
historically very few 200cm players have managed to become top level kpfs. what are you arguing here. at 200cm it is still a facrt that most dont have the agility pace and athletic ability to make it as kpfs.
anyway as it seems you adamant there a re lots of 200cm players out there who have made it as kpfs it will be interesting to see your list of these types.
