Deledio anoints Corey Ellis to fill Tigers' backline void ... (afl site)

[RedanTiger]

Oh goody, another midget backman 

Lids is only saying that to keep himself out of there....

Houli 180cm
C Ellis 184cm

Yep, another midget. But oh well, I suppose he could play tall like Batch....

Looking at the list today before this.
182 or under: Houli, Castagna, Drummond, Yarran, B Ellis, Lloyd, Butler, Short, Edwards, Miles, Lambert, Rioli, Marcon.

What's the point of all that?

Jayden short the only one who's significantly under at 177, which is still 5'10".

Which of those players are undersized for their respective positions?

What minimum height requirement do you think our backs should be?

Rance; 194cm
Chaplin;195cm
Grimes: 193cm
Astbury: 195cm

See the trend???? What height are most of the big forwards??

What height are most of the decent backs?

He is a good height for a half back flanker.  Not meant to play on a tall.  Way too skinny for that anyway even if he was taller.

Concern about him is his speed.  Still on the fence about his skills and decision making.  He shows flashes of brilliance and then flashes of mediocrity.

Have to give him time.  Has to be an upgrade on Houli.  Tigers played much better with the turnover squib out of the side.

WAT's best 22 is starting to take real shape . You do realise Ellis isn't replacing any of our tall defenders bro? He is in fact replacing one of our shorter ones - collectively making the back 6 taller? Geeeeeee wiz
