Re: Jamarra - How excited are YOU???
Is Marra the shortest looking 197cm player in the league? He just doesn't look anywhere near that height.
The thing I like about Marra is that he does have defensive intent as a forward and can really stick a tackle. Loving how Bevo has handled him this year, if he keeps working his ass off his talent will shine through no doubt about it.

It's the short torso, no neck combo.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

But those long long 400m hurdling legs.
He and Naughton are so much fun to watch

Yeah, he's all legs and arms. Ridiculous levers!

I can't wait until he starts using his enormous leap to take pack marks
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Footywire has him listed as 194cm and our club website has him listed as 197cm.
I look forward to many an argument surrounding which is correct in the future!!!!

Footwire is outdated. He was 194cm at 18 years old

Are you suggesting the club's website is forever accurate on player heights? This is how threads get derailed BAD!

You better have a word to the AFL statisticians because they have him down for 4 goals from 7 shots.

Stuff them, I will. It’s 4.0
They don’t revise Dunstall, Lockett, Ablett or Carey with their accuracy. It’s goals and behinds. What next, how many steps in the run up of a set shot.

Ben Brown will go down as the GOAT for that one. A record that will never be broken, has covered more ground than Steve Moneghetti and Robert de Castella combined.

Also number one for not staying on his feet when leading and gets a slight nudge, and faking a free kick

Personally I think players heights should be added and maintained in the Players Contracts Threads (assuming one exists).
