I wouldn't read much into it. When we were hopeless we bought in players like Vince*, Lamumba and Dawes which would have increased our age profile. * I love Vince Players normally get to 100 games if they are good footballers. But some get there cheaply if they play for struggling clubs. What you really want is your best footballers at around 100 games and a culture to get the younger players heading towards it.

Geelong and West Coast look pretty old The two teams with the strongest home ground advantage. Interesting to see how that plays out.

Mirror mirror on the wall. Who is the greatest of them all.

If it wasn't for Jack Viney's years of hard work, Bowser wouldn't be 7 from 7 and a premiership player.

I can't understand the pay grade in the NBA. Patty Mills has shot the lights out in now what is an increasingly 3 point pame. Ben Simmonds can't even make a free throw and isn't what I would call a culture maker. I reckon Jason Taylor could go over and recruit with the same principals.

I read Lever passed out? Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I was on ground level and had to wait a while but it was during the 2nd quater so I didn't mind and neither did anyone else.

To get to Perth for Christmas would take weeks quarantine. It made since for the Perth boys to stay there until after that. Not sure about Rivers.

It was pleasing today that nobody was on crutches or travelling like they had post season operations that could derail their preseason.

Not that focussed. He forgot about the bloke that kicked a bag wearing RDB's famous number. Agree he was good though.

Don't worry about that. I read somewhere on here he is breaking schoolboy high jump records.

I'm loving Kate Rofey the more I see of her. Loved the fact she highlighted Kozzie's bump on Hunter. The after her speach she picked her beer and kept drinking it as she walked back towards the players race whilst posing for selfies with supporters.

Gus was stiff not to land one he was peppering it.

They would have to be a combination of Daicos and Dusty. One more sleep until Christmas.

I'm getting pumped for it but a bit disappointed you can't bet on first goal or norm smith. I'd multi them both.

Under the father son rule, like Stretch

With Barassi, Flower and Stynes out of the question I'm hoping for Tingay

Where is Viney? If F/son doesn't count Stretch shouldn't be in there.

Pendergast didn't even bother speaking to Dusty when we had pick 1 and 2 in that draft. I think that's worse.

JT doesn't have a habit of drafting players universally selected in phantom drafts.

Watts and Gysberts were both early picks and failed, both went on to other clubs and didn't succeed their either. Says to me it wasn't our development that was lacking. Our recruiting didn't recognise competitiveness like they do now. I doubt JT would have taken either of them.

Barry Pendergast drafted the AA captain and Melbourne's first premiership captain in 57 years with a late pick. We can thank him for that.

I'm hoping for a lap of honour for Jones and Jetta.

It doesn't say what age bracket per country, just the percentage vacinated, which is meaningless on its own.

When you talk about percentage of population vacinated is it within a certain age group or does it vary from country to country?
