for the people who are good at number crunching...

i was wondering which team out of WC and Melbourne had the youngest list on the park (average age)

also, is our 22 for today's game, on average younger than carltons/hawthorns?

    Our Average Age was 22.77, while West Coast's was 23.18. Not even six months in it.

    And I'm almost positive that our team today was at least a year or two younger than Hawthorn and Carlton's.

    Good work Chook!

    So are we the youngest side in the AFL right now, and if so, will we still be next season?

    Probably not. With some of the guys to come in next year for us, our average age will increase a bit. I reckon West Coast's won't increase as much as ours.

    Curious - how could that happen? I would have thought that ' rookies' on current list, if advanced, would be create an even younger age list average, with likely older players going off the list eg Whitey, Yze, Dutchy etc.

    That's true, our average list age might decrease, but the age of the guys playing would be a little higher. I reckon West Coast will be in heavy debut mode, while we'll be playing guys who've already played their first game.

    Based on debut mode -that makes sense mathematically. Thanks Chook.

    Are you kidding..our average age will drop if anything

    Neitz, White, Yze, Holland, will all go- not to mention a few delistings and trades of guys 25 and over

    What he meant was that the 22 that run out will be higher, you add in davey, robbo, rivers etc whilst not all old are around 22+ so some younger kids will drop out

    According to stats.rleague.com/afl/stats

    the side Hawthorn put out yesterday had an everage age of 24y 271 d with combined match tally of 2288 games.

    Richmond 23years 271 days combined match tally of 1826

    West Coast 23y 197d match tally 1705

    Carlton 23y 218d match tally 1797

    Melbourne 23y 132 d match tally 1456.

    These are different to chooks so I'm not sure there if they are 100% correct. Anyway what remains obvious is that we are fielding the most inexpierenced and young side in the AFL.

    ours is easily the youngest going around at the minute and will be for a couple more years l would think

    Thanks for those stats Neita, very interesting. Do you have Geelong's by any chance? It would be interesting to see where they are at - when at the 'peak of their powers'.

    Carlton are thereabouts also. See the figures above by Neita. Freo are retiring a few this year, next year they will be much younger on average.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
