His goalkicking percentage is not much better than Benji's. I think he's a gppd prospect, but would be surprised if he is ready next year.


Benji is kicking at 67 %
Mullaney at 71%

Interestingly Covell is only kicking at 68%-
Campese 68%
Smith 70 %
Parker 70 %

Given that on average, the male stops growing at 21 years of age at the absolute latest, I don't think any of these players should be pushed into First Grade until they are at least 21 or 22.

Just out of interest when does the female stop growing ?

Under 23's makes so much more sense, and allow 2 senior players per team to guide the young guys like they did in the old days. Then we wouldn't have players in park footy at age 20 looking to Union / AFL etc because they are not ready for 1st grade and have slipped through the cracks.

tbh most females are pretty much done growing by about 15 (you'll find sh*tloads who are more or less done by 12 or 13 these days though), and males on average reach their maximum height at around age 16.

Obviously there's this notion that males "fill out" between about 16-20 but I'm not sure if there's actually a scientific basis to say that this is a normal thing, or if it's just normal for skinny guys to start hitting the gym when they've actually finished growing?
