    ROK has shrunk

    Browsing through the Age footy guide I notice they have ROK listed at 188cm. In last year's guide he was listed as 190 cm. I assume they get these figures from the club, so what is going on? Is too much training wearing him down? Or is it the haircut?
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

      Must be his new boots. Not content with last years hideous hair, this year ROK has decided to be the man in the golden boots. Check em out in round one - they are absolute Barry Crockers and make him look like Tinkerbell. Fortunately ROK is supersticious so I have the feeling the fairy boots will get ditched as soon as he plays a bad game. Last year he decided the long hair was a no go after McPhee flogged him in the first Essendon game.

            Maybe his bath was too hot. Happens with clothes.

                well you never know it could be true- ROK's hair was pretty outrageous last year but i reckon his hair this year is hot as ever

                  He had the Alice band on this time last year. I'm surprised that it is only a 2cm difference to be honest.

                      I think they exaggerated his height previously.
                      Using hypothesis testing via confidence intervals:
                      Nick Davis mark inside 50 = goal

                          There was no rule against tippy toes for official measurements until after the 2004 season.
                          I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                          We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                            I think the Players Association let it go as part of theworkplace agreement. Andy D is a tough bargainer, no doubt about it.

                              Yes he looked shorter and thinner at Carrara.
