K wrote:^ Yep, they think he'll reach 195cm.

You got a source for that?

He's going to need to be very very good to get in our team. i think he can in time. What a great place we find ourselves. Isaac, Murphy, and in time Kelly and others banging down the door! You will have to play very very well to hold your spot in the best 22. Imagine the wonderful problem we will have if by some miracle, the infirmary boys get healthy too. Literally 30 players capable of being considered for selection on merit!

Wish I had one. Turns out mamma's pasta source is only good for horizontal growth

Happens to the best of us mate, particularly as we get a tad older.

At least I haven't outgrown my hair yet.

Nathan himself told me he is expected to grow to up to 195cm in height. In time they wish him to play at around 90kg.
He's currently ~192cm. You'll have seen in photos that he is taller than DeGoey for instance and is around Mihocek's height currently.
He was a baby of his draft year and only just turned 19 in December.
Still some physical development ahead.

He's expected to be that 3rd back or forward-type. Not a key position player.

I liked the look of him in his short stint last year and was a great effort for him to get games in his first year. Needs to spend a bit more time in the gym that's for sure. The boy is fearless so needs the body to match.

Bump, super game yesterday. 12 kicks, 7 marks and 9 intercept disposals but also did a decent job defending his opponent.

Hope he stays injury free at 22 will spell the end of Madgen you would think.

Also 2cm taller than Howe. Could well be the long term replacement down the track. It seems he has been around for ages yet turns 23 at the end of the year.

Received 4 Coaches' votes for yesterday's game.

Reckon this game was the making of him. It will give him enormous confidence. He has always had bravery and courage, but yesterday his marking, reading of the play and decision-making were impeccable. Failing more injuries, it's hard to see Madgen getting his spot back now. The combination of Moore, Howe and Murphy give us terrific aerial strength in defence.

He had an excellent first half, was quieter in the second half but that's understandable given his lack of match fitness.

If he can stay on the park he can be a real weapon
