Some players get selected just because they are tall
Shorties are selected for their speed and skill with the ball
Old golf adage. Talls for show, Smalls for dough.
HAWKS to run over little Freo
Cyril Rioli 177cm 122 games 161 goals. Tother end Hayden Ballantyne 174 cm 88games 134 goals
A pair of goal kicking magicians. Last time they meet the ever humble Cyril was the better.
Bulldogs and TIGGEERRRSSSSS
Luke Dahlhaus 178cm 52 games 53 goals is no match for Jake the King at 178cm 106 games 78 goals
Jake has a much bigger on field presence and a larger effect on the overall game.
CROWS and Swans.
Longmire has not located the black box yet. But he will one day
Eddie pants Betts 173cm 186 games 296 goals or Ben McGlynn at 172cm 127 games 144 goals.
Big pants Bettsy will have less possessions but they will count for more at the final siren.
SUNS to stand over the Lions
Dion Prestia 175cm 53 games 13 goals or Dayne Zorko 174cm 40 games 43 goals.
Both these young guns are stars of the future. Dion gets my vote for his sheer speed.
EAGLE and Saints
Chris Masten 179cm 99 games 49 goals or little Adam Schneider 175cm 20 games 242 goals.
Chris is getting better with each game, whilst Schneids best games are behind him.
Pies and CATS
Ben Kennedy 175cm 13 games 9 goals has nothing on Matthew Stokes 175cm 157 games 193 goals.
Cannot see any way the Trainee Kennedy can match it with the Master Stokes
GWS and the less than mighty Dees
Devon Smith 174cm 40 games 32 goals will over shadow Shannon Byrnes 175cm 127 games 116 goals
Should be a fairly even tussle, but Deevo has more players in support
ROOS to topple Port
Brent Harvey 167cm 364 games 391 goals against Jarman Impey a lofty 178cm in his second game.
The veteran will surely blow away the young rookie who is wearing his red P plates.
BOMBERS and Blues
Leroy Jetta 177cm 91 games 77 goals Dylan Buckley 179cm 2 games for a solitary goal.
A bit of a mismatch this one and the Jets experience will tell in the last quarter.
– EASY TIGER
PS Bobby Skilton was only 171cm but won three Brownlows. (in the 19sixties)
