Just a discussion piece as the season approaches.

Was thinking the other day when Mykelti got the nod, this could be our Tallest Tigers list ever.
So we got Kosi, Naismith, Hayes-Brown, and The Tap just this off season.

I am using my favourite player Sir Jackmond Riewoldt as a baseline.
The Tasmanian Tiger Treasure measured in at 193 cms.
Not tall by today's standards.
(unless standing next to me, then again most dogs are taller than me!)

I was amazed to find we have now 14 players above 194 cms on the list.
14. Staggering.

Mate, OHB, Delilah, The Potter, The Mob, Nankenstein, Lurch,
The Tap, Godcus, Kosi, Young, Optimus, Arkman and Myki.

How well these Tall Tigers play will have a huge say in how far we go and even how seriously we challenge.
This could stretch many sides.
Of course have to get the balance right which also depends on the oppo.

Very interested in seeing how they all go.
In particular, The Tap, Godcus, and Kosi.

Is this our Tallest Tigers list ever?

i think i got em all figured out, except Young. No idea who he is.

Fawcett is Young cause he is, and Young is Short cause he's not.


I'm confident about 2024. Stomper, Pocket, The Cheese and Alphabetti Spaghetti should go well this year. Let's not forget Fourhead, Ankle-toes and Egg.

I only know who half of that list even is.
Apologies, Ct, and any others that couldn't decipher my late night ramblings.

From the top (BTW, a hint, they appear in Height order):

Mate = Self explanatory (SE)
OHB = SE
Delilah = Samson
The Potter = Naismith
The Mob = Lynch
Nankenstein = SE
Lurch = Miller
The Tap = Fawcett
Godcus = Gibcus
Kosi = SE
Young = SE
Optimus = Grimesy
Arkman = Balta, Noah
Myki = Mykelti.

Can't be The Cheese.
That moniker is taken, Brandon Smith (former Storm).

Forget about Ankle-toes, keep your eyes on Ankle-tap.
He will cut you down if you turn your back on him!
