Is Tom Young 195cm or not?

[Dancin' Douggy]

Tom Young is listed as 195cm in the official AFL season Guide.
Tom Young is listed as 195cm in the Age official season guide
Tom Young is listed as 195cm in the new edition of Bulldog magazine.

So my question is, Is Tom Young 195cm or not?

Anyone?..............

[Mofra]

He's listed as 191cm on the website, 195cm in the Bulldog magazine that arrived yesterday.

Doesn't look 195cm on the ground though - maybe Nick Dal Santo held the measuring tape?

All young and growing perhaps.

[Bulldog Joe]

My observation is that Roberts looks clearly taller than the others and plays taller.

Young looks more like Morris size wise. The 191 would seem to be about right.

Talia was with Tommy Williams on Saturday and I spoke briefly to them. Tommy is certainly significantly taller than Michael. I believe Williams is listed at 196 and that would be about right and would make Talia around 192.

All must have had their boots on when the Bulldogs Magazine measured them

So we've triangulated data sources to confirm that he can be the ongoing barometer for Tom Young's height?

Either that photo is deceiving, or Cooney Jr is about 185cm.

[MrMahatma]

Either that photo is deceiving, or Cooney Jr is about 185cm.
Or Koby is actually 193cm?

[Remi Moses]

I nearly fell over when I saw that!
That has to be wrong

[AndrewP6]

Or Koby is actually 193cm?

Haha! Yes, let's go with that.

[Dancin' Douggy]

He's listed as 191cm on the website, 195cm in the Bulldog magazine that arrived yesterday.

yes that got a chuckle.

Oh man, now I'm really confused........

Koby Stevens is 187cm

http://images.theage.com.au/2013/01/16/3956700/art-wbAFLstevensyoung-620x349.jpg

So the obvious question is......... is Koby Stevens really 187 cm?
(or should that be another thread?)

[always right]

Posture Tom.....posture.

[Mofra]

Posture Tom.....posture.
Graduated from the Nigel Kellett School of upper back posture.

[F'scary]

That certainly is a big boy at 195cm or 191cm. But how tall is he?

[Dancin' Douggy]

Ok so that's some serious slumping there from young Tom.

And theres possibly 5 -6 cm of plumage on the top of young Koby's head.

It's possible from that photo that Tom is 195cm. Posslble.

[Maddog37]

Tom is further away from the camera too so that makes him look smaller. (clutching at straws).

[comrade]

Can we just get Peter Gordon to ask him?

One quick phone call and the mystery will be solved. Unless, of course, Tom doesn't know him self.

Also, centimeters as a unit of measurement have been replaced by Jake Stringer. So what we need to know is how many Jake Stringers he is. My guess is 1.1.

Don't think he's ten centimeters further away. :-)

Do we need to change the calendar as well. BJ (before Jake) and AJ (after Jake)?

[MrMahatma]

There was a before Jake?

[Dancin' Douggy]

Actually no.

[chef]

Been a great pick up.

[The Underdog]

Been a great pick up.

Yeah, I don't think anybody thought that he was going to be our best recruit from the trade period but he has been so far. Puts himself in great positions when we have the ball and when we don't. Uses it well enough, doesn't get flustered. Whether he's 195 or 191, he's doing the job better than any of us would have ever expected.

Anyone?..............

I queried this through twitter and they replied 195cm (per the website). I said that was wrong and the website has now been changed to 192cm.

Talia now showing 194cm, and Roberts 196cm

[Mofra]

Talia now showing 194cm, and Roberts 196cm
Interesting - Talia was listed at 192cm when drafted - it's not unreasonable for 194cm to be correct, growing 2cm since being drafted considering Macrae grew 3 cm last year alone.

People forget we draft them as 18 year olds and there is still growing left in some people between 18 and 20. Tom Young's height was completely wrong on the website till recently.

[doggies ftw]

Talia is definitely 195, was drafted at 192 but there was an article on how hed grown to 195.

[Greystache]

Just had a look at the update, it looks little more than a rough estimate.

Prudden was listed at 188cm when drafted, he's now listed at 182cm. If he keeps going in the same direction he'll be shorter than Libba Sr by 2016.

Talia has lost 1cm after supposedly gaining 3

Campbell has lost 1cm

But the good news is 27 year old Tom Williams has apparently grown 2cm over the summer to 198cm. Grant and Jones have also added a cm despite being in their early to mid 20's, as has 28 year old Cooney.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Tom Young should be used as a Cooney decoy. One good reason not to have names on jumpers.
I love the way he is so laconic in the action yet right on the pace. He won Collingwood reserve's B&F, he must be a consistent, hardworking professional footballer and I really hope he makes the grade. 195cm or shorter.

[1eyedog]

I wonder how heavy Tom Young is?

[bulldogtragic]

Questioning how much Macrae has grown now???
