Listed. Anyone listed at six foot is nearly sure to be under the mark in reality. I've see him play in person and if he's breaking 5'10 he's doing well.

To suggest height isn't a big advantage in Aussie Rules given the mark system would be mad imho.
So when Chris Barrett declare that he's 5' 10" ???? Put Mattie on the plane. Free the "Trillick 1"

Eh? Chris Barrett is suddenly a forward?
So height is only an advantage for the forwards?  ???

Show me the reams of 6'3+ players he was competing with for a place. Donnelly generally plays around the middle, HF naturally but at times named at MF, for what little that's worth. So he's up against AOS, Smith, Murphy, Tuohy, Sweeney, Geaney etc. for a spot in a sport where you can call a mark from anywhere if you field the ball. He might make the final two still but to suggest an injustice is a bit much in that context.

RuairĂ­ Allen from Offaly is an unreal, physically strong player. Should be on it. He's sub 6 foot, but he caught kickouts above GearĂ³id McKiernan's head in the qualifiers. McKiernan is 6ft 5"
Technically very good as well.

Syfīn, arent chest high catches awarded with marks in the Intl game unlike in Aussie Rules where it has to be over your head??

As usual politics are at play here too.  This game isn't one where the majority of the game is contesting high balls, Donnelly's all round game is why he should be in ahead of others.

No sense of irony so?

It is ok to admit you're wrong once in a while.

I wouldn't hold my breath. He has form for refusing to accept he made a mistake even when shown up. In his world, if he thinks it, it must be so, regardless of anything else.

..and yet Donnelly wasn't even added at the second chance. What was that about refusing to apologise, trueblue? You're going to now, surely?

Not sure who's winning which argument when the 6ft claiming Mattie is overlooked (read pun or irony if required) by Sean Powter a 5' 8" claiming forward.

Why would I apologise? You were wrong about mattie's height. He's 6ft. Seanie even quoted the listed height. But in your world we should accept your version. You live in a bubble. You have no ability to accept when you made a mistake. You did it before on this forum. And instead of saying "oh right, my mistake" You just cling to your version regardless.

Not a great apology.

No apology needed when highlighting your inability to accept that you were wrong. In fact it's fun to watch you try to do written gymnastics to somehow still accept your version as correct.

I've figured out your error.
