Do we have anyone over 6'0 who hasn't had a long-term injury of some kind?


Judd is 6 foot 2 so you might be talking every player but Joseph, Carrots and Betts. Not many mids under 6 foot anymore. Not in these days comparing to the Libba era. :lol:

Guess Special-K will need to be ready round 1 or use Carlos in the short term.


..Murph's 178/180 isn't he..?.. ..that's sub 6'.. ..ellard is shorter too yeah..?..


Few and far between though. Hadley 190cm while he was still with us, Gibbs 190, Judd 188, as mid field. You are probably spot on with your facts and heights. No arguments from me here. Just think we might be lucky to have 5 or 6 players 182.5 (6 foot, or close to) or less. O.K. then maybe 7 to 8 then. You drive a mean argument matey. :lol:

6 foot was considered fairly tall for a male 20 years ago, and now its below par and below average for an adult male. If you stand in a crowd of 20 years old males and are only 6 foot, you will feel a little short now. Must be all those growth hormones in the chicken we eat. Too late for me at 42 though.

Unless you're Jewish. In which case, like me at 5'7'' you're average, at 6 feet you're really tall, at 6'3" you're a freak, and at Todd Goldstein you're a mutant!
