I don’t think you’re unreasonable, you have more context than myself and any other casual North American sports fan who (shockingly!) hasn’t learned the points per game rates of Aussie rules footie. BUT, for most who have a casual understanding of sports, seeing someone a foot taller than their competition makes us go “huh, that seems wild.”
