Nothing.
What's serong with you?
A lot of players would be taller than listed in part due to how outdated the stats are.Having stood next to Day recently he wouldn't be far off 195cm himself these days. I've seen pics of Weddle and Day standing next to each other and they look pretty much identical in height.
But yes they are very different players. As previously posted Weddle is very much like prime Kouta (a power athlete / runner who can play multiple positions) and Day is very much like a prime Hird (a super tough, one touch player who is incredibly composed with ball in hand).
Small correction I think he is a nightmare matchup now. I thought he clearly beat Cameron in the Geelong game when playing on him, he was too fast and agile for Cameron despite our poor center square work for much of that game. And week in week out he has proven that he doesn't get overwrought with anyone he plays on, just keeps being him.Lots of talk about what Weddle could turn into or where he could play...I like him where he is. Types like JUH, Naughton, Cameron, Curnow who are fit, fast, and willing to get up the ground and out work you. Weddle can go with them all day, compete in the air, and make you accountable going back the other way.
He will be a nightmare match up in a year or two.
Awesome player to have, well played to the recruiting team for landing that trade.
Speaking of Cameron I would love for Weddle to play the Cameron role at some point.
Just give him free reign to run around wherever from CHF all the way up to the HBF. I don't think there would be any defender in the comp that could go with him for the full game.
Reckon he would be good for a couple of goals a game in that role.Speaking of Cameron I would love for Weddle to play the Cameron role at some point.

Hawthorn had a pretty talented young bloke who started on the wing in the 80s.Reckon he would be good for a couple of goals a game in that role.
well actually we showed that in that match a few years ago, when O'Meara went onto Stewart for the final quarter and held him statless and we won.He's doing wonders down in the backline, but I wonder if he'd get the job on Tom Stewart when we play Geelong? He'd be a great matchup for him either in the air or on the ground, and could definitely hurt him on the scoreboard. Other sides have shown that if you stop Stewart, you basically stop Geelong.
