Who is the shortest player currently on an AFL list?

[claf-43]

Thanks guys. Turns out he's not even the shortest at his club.

Would he be the lightest though? As I recall he tips less than 70kg.

Nathan Krakouer, 66kg. Not sure if thats current or at the start of the year, if its current, minus 10kg on that

 

[ekzistenz]

Hahaha, I noticed how big Ebert's head is when I saw him standing next to Nicoski they other night

As for Wirrpanda, he has long arms so that probably makes him look taller and lankier than he is. Embley is another one with long arms, he's not as tall as he looks either

Unless they just don't update their measurements from the draft.

 

[Spitz]

North must have had Matt Campbell standing on a chair when they measured him.


He is definetly not 174

Agree, last year during draft time, was listed as 168, but oh well, definately isnt taller than Brent Harvey as ive seen both next to each close up.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

hahaha! f**k yeah! and i'm seven foot five.



ebert is an exception to the head=1/8th rule.

I love idiots that shoot their mouths off and look dumb later.

I got my stats from the official 2007 AFL record, and then just to make sure, I cross referenced with the appropriate website....and what do you know:

[like. pendlebury]

[dont bowl there]

What is Peter Bell at? He is pretty short.

175cm

175cm

I would never have thought he was taller than Wirrapunda. Some of these stats must be give or take.

 

[PUSSIES_07_FLAG]

No way the Panda is 173...

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

No way the Panda is 173...

I've given two pieces of proof that he is. The onus is on anybody that disagrees to provide conflicting evidence. I've walked past Wirrpanda and whilst I am about 6"2" he passed me at about chin height. He is not very tall at all.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Are these measurements done by an independent person or internally?

Could be some dodgy apparatus at various clubs!

 

[Power King]

Official answers:

Brent Harvey
David Rodan
Peter Bell

All 172cm.

 

[albertonmum]

According to the AFL 2007 Record Season Guide book which lists all the players details, Peter Bell is 175. Rodan and Harvey 172. BTW, Alwyn Davey is also listed as 172.

Liberatore was only 163...shortarse!!!

He sure is. You're not the first person to be fooled into thinking he's taller tho

Pretty obvious when you see him in the flesh. I'm 6 foot on the nose, met him at a function once, and he's almost a head shorter.

Plays very tall, good overhead etc.

There's a reason why he's so good at ground level, he basically is at ground level standing upright.

Check him out standing next to average midfielder this week against the pies, he's short as.

 

[Z_K]

Those are the same measurements that had Makepeace at 182cm;s for his career. Utter nonsense.

Campbell is noticably shorter than Brent Harvey.

175cm

Peter Bell 175cm Fooled me big time, must have a longer body than usual.The football seems only half as long as his legs.

 

[Father Jack]

Had to alter the Collingwood ones; like their stripes, some things are not meant to change

 

[Mancey]

Fido Phil Matera is 171cm...not a current player...but he's certainly a shortarse.

Not a patch on libba tho at 163

Just for some comparison.

 

[dales.girl38]

My guess would have been King, I would have thought he'd be smaller than Davey...oh well.

that site being the official WCE website would have sourced their stats from the AFL record....

 

[oogac]

According to Wikipedia the Shortest player ever was
James "Nipper" Bradford (Kangaroos/Collingwood) - 154cm

Which even makes Libber look like a giant.

they're right tho. Wirra's a deadset shorty
