I will be happy to be proven wrong.
I think the correlation between height and success as a footballer is hugely overstated.
The last 2 premierships were won by teams who seriously lacked height.
His long bullet pass onto the chest of his teammate 25m out directly in front was a highlight of the AFLX the other night. He's showed plenty of flashes like that obviously. It's just a matter of whether or not he can find the pill enough. I'd say Cunningham faces the exact same issue. He can play but can he be a 30 pos a game player?
