Not only that but do we really need another key defender?

According to Footywire, Freo's team average age was about 2 years over where it should have been because they listed one of the players as being born on Jan 1 1900.

Just another one to add to their great recruiting history

If we could just get rid of Sam Blease we would have a very young team; the MFC site has him as being born in 1891. He is clearly skewing the average age of our list!

Well we already do have the youngest list :)

Sydney 24.77

Geelong 24.15

Richmond 23.92

St Kilda 23.81

Fremantle 23.68

Western Bulldog 23.68

Adelaide 23.39

Port Power 23.36

North Melbourne 23.34

Collingwood 23.32

Essendon 23.14

Carlton 23.13

West Coast 23.05

Hawthorn 23.05

Brisbane 22.87

Melbourne 22.78

And we will be even younger next year... You would expect another 4 18 year old draftees next year.

But who are the 4 that will go off our list? My guess:

McDonald (ret.)

Robertson (ret.)

Bell

McNamara / Cheney

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
