Youngest list in the AFL

I pay scant regard to useless facts about Collingwood...

 

Their best 22 is very, very young IIRC.

Wasn't it their side in the Queens Birthday clash were younger than our side fielded during last season (2010) ?

 

our age last year was skewed by a couple of players. bruce and mcdonald (and i suppose miller). take them out and the age drops significantly.

it means bugger all except that we should be able to have our group together for longer.

Off the top of my head I think that was 2009, we were younger this year.

Pretty much sums up how silly this stat is.


Collingwood did have a very young best 22 - their depth was old, Fraser, Lockyer, Medhurst, Davis off the top of my head.

They had talent and a well-drilled system and a couple of stars where it counted, and an amazing good run with injury helped.

But we will indeed have become younger for a fourth year in a row, and perhaps most astonishingly we have become younger despite starting the season as the youngest team.

For what it is worth, Hawthorn were also one of the youngest teams in the competition when they snuck in for their premiership... and had a well-drilled system and a few stars where it counted, and an amazing good run with injury helped...

I guess if we contemplate our list all coming together, an amazing run with injuries and the system clicking, we can imagine stealing an early one as well as developing into the sustained contender which is the fundamental plan.

I'll pause for a moment to imagine... then post again...

As I said on another thread - "can this site get any sillier"? . The team can all be on pensioners concession cards for all I care , so long as we win a flag before I die or become so consumed in red wine that I don't notice.

 
Oh but posters will though.

Will they ever...

I think last year, around the time we were playing either one of the Roos or Tiges, they did the whole "who has the youngest list" thing. I think we were second, Richmond first, and the Roos just behind us.

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.
