    Agree that 193cm feels about right for Zaine, he's definitely taller than 190cm.

    Brent Harvey's listed height was exaggerated for years, official heights aren't always correct for whatever reason.

    We need Cordy's knee.

    I get that, but he's listed at 193cm on other websites (including footywire) as I suggested.

    My example of Lewis being listed at 201cm on club websites as opposed to 197cm on footywire is smelly.

    Footywire is not accurate. They list the heights of the players when they first start playing.

    Anyway not a big deal, 2cm is nothing

    Yes, who will his knee play on this time?

I also think his first 5 steps are awfully slow and he gets dropped on the lead way too easily.... but the MC have more faith in him than others so I guess we hope he doesn't get exposed.
    Agreed.

    I'm a broken record but I just don't see what Cordy brings beyond appetite for contest. I'll agree he's OK at scrapping for the ball on the ground, but he often gets beaten on the lead (his acceleration is awful) or beaten 1-v-1. He played really well against Port but one game doesn't cover the glaring weaknesses in his game.

    I think what hurts Cordy is he doesn't appear to have a long reach either, whereas Gardner does and it enables the latter to often get a fist to the ball.

    Gardy isn't good with ball in hand and is susceptible to errors, but I just can't believe we're going to drop him. He's been very reliable and his ability to play 100% game time, play on different types and use his athletic ability to our advantage is important.

    I've slept on it and the more I think about this, the more I think it's a really bad selection.

    The question is who will his knee knock into oblivion.....just like Wardy.

    Speak for yourself. I bought a Swedish pump on the promise of getting an extra 2cm. It’s not nothing.

    Because it is fun, so much fun.

    I believe this responsibility should fall to Axeman and have players height and weight on the Contract Status Thread (assuming one exists).
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    Unfortunately I lost my job at the carnival guessing peoples heights and weights when one particularly rotund lady took offence to my estimate...
