Mid's are supposedly getting bigger and KPF's smaller. Talent, Competitiveness, disposal and decision making are what makes a good football team.
It's not so much height and weight but reflexes, lateral movement, acceleration, core strength, etc. And I'm not so sure KPFs are getting smaller; some of the current crop are taller than the biggest ruckmen of the last century.
I reported my conversation with Ed Curnow earlier this year in which he said that Charlie was an elite mark (and we've seen some of that). That should overcome his (relative) lack of height and enable him to become a damaging lead up forward and KPF.
