Adelaide had 10 players over 190cm, Carlton only had 9!
If you think our having too many talls is the cause you missed the point entirely! Our problem is the way our talls want to play, like rovers and get cheap kicks out the back, or jumping from the back of packs.
While their talls take front position, attack the footy, mark it or bring the ball to ground to the advantage of their utilities!
And how many did each have over 195cm?
I reckon we had 5 who were 199 or bigger (Casboult, McKay, Phillips, Kreuzer, Jones)
...but having said that, those players are probably all more agile than your standard bloke of that size.
Whereas someone like Weitering, moves like Harry Madden.
