Is Aussie Rules becoming a tall mans game only?
To be honest II don’t actually think its becoming a tall mans game. There is a lot of emphasis on teams that have a balance between tall, medium and short players. It’s good to have tall players for rucking and marking and no doubt it would be easy to bomb the football to a forward line of giants. However, its just as important to have medium and small sized players with pace, agility and awareness that can deliver to the tall players, especially with the way the game is played this day, so much more emphasis on “keepings off” and waiting for the right target inside 50.
