Well in Port's case it was talls of any description. They really only had a handful of experienced talls - Matt Smith, Bloomfield, Morrison, Milhuisen, Carlyle and maybe one or two others. When you have just one player on your list of 196cm (6'5"), you're going to be in trouble.[/quote] The handful of experienced talls you mentioned Minka, you could hardly say are expereinced, Rhys Bloomfield in is his first year of VFL footy, Billy Morrison has only played a handful of senior VFL games, and milhuisen is an experienced backman, but could hardly call him a 'Tall' at 6'2". I just hope saultry and the clan down at the borough rectify this problem very quickly...

Quote:Martin Stillman seemed to hit the Under 23 squads on the head.

The squads are selected by Andy Collins, Gavin Crosisca, Anthony Eames, Peter Banfield, Brett Lovett, Troy West and the 2 VFL Football Operations Assistants.

Fair enough. The coaches know the players better than anyone.

Ross Young is very stiff not to be in the team of the year. Sure he missed games with injury but was very good when he played.

Ross Young has just turned 23, chief. I'm with you: he's a talent. There's even a bit of talk he might get drafted.

Huh? Localboy's summary is pretty spot-on.

But what you've written seems to prove the point - they were an extraordinarily small side. Milhuisen is an interesting one [i]because[/i] he has to play 'tall' when in other sides he'd be no more than fulfilling a role as 'third man up'.
