Witts 209cm
2m Peter - not playing
Lynch 199cm (Jones' the man)
Day 197cm (good test for weiters)
May 193cm
May will struggle to keep up with Charlie for a quarter, let alone stop him in the air. He has height, speed and athleticism on May, by a mile!!
Tall defenders to combat Levi/Weitering? Other than May? Thompson who's a handy player when fit.
Lynch and Day are both 200cm, websites list them below 200cm, but they are clearly both taller than Kreuzer and our website lists Kreuzer at 200cm up from 199cm! Lynch was listed at 199cm when drafted, and according to the GC website he hasn't grown, very unlikely and he's always been taller than Kreuzer! ;D
Anyway, regardless of the figures being a centimetre here or there, it is irrelevant because they are rarely correct after the players draft year. It's the game style of those 200cm KPP types that determine who you have to play on them. I think we have five players in the club of the right type to stand Lynch or Day, and they are Rowe, Weitering, Jones, ACoS and Macreadie out of which only two are available.
Levi will be in the ruck, and even when he's forward you don't need a tall defender to cover him, you just need someone who is physical and disrupts his run and jump.
May may struggle to run with Charlie's intensity, but if we do our usual tricks and put the ball on Charlie's head May will rag doll him. I think May is probably the 2nd best genuine one on one KPD in the competition next to McGovern, in my opinion they are both better than Rance!
