    Tom Young is listed as 195cm in the new edition of Bulldog magazine.

    So my question is, Is Tom Young 195cm or not?


    Anyone?..............
    I queried this through twitter and they replied 195cm (per the website). I said that was wrong and the website has now been changed to 192cm.

        Interesting - Talia was listed at 192cm when drafted - it's not unreasonable for 194cm to be correct, growing 2cm since being drafted considering Macrae grew 3 cm last year alone.

            People forget we draft them as 18 year olds and there is still growing left in some people between 18 and 20. Tom Young's height was completely wrong on the website till recently.

                Talia is definitely 195, was drafted at 192 but there was an article on how hed grown to 195.

                    Just had a look at the update, it looks little more than a rough estimate.

                    Prudden was listed at 188cm when drafted, he's now listed at 182cm. If he keeps going in the same direction he'll be shorter than Libba Sr by 2016.

                    Talia has lost 1cm after supposedly gaining 3

                    Campbell has lost 1cm

                    But the good news is 27 year old Tom Williams has apparently grown 2cm over the summer to 198cm. Grant and Jones have also added a cm despite being in their early to mid 20's, as has 28 year old Cooney.

                        Tom Young should be used as a Cooney decoy. One good reason not to have names on jumpers.
                        I love the way he is so laconic in the action yet right on the pace. He won Collingwood reserve's B&F, he must be a consistent, hardworking professional footballer and I really hope he makes the grade. 195cm or shorter.

                            I wonder how heavy Tom Young is?
                            But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
