AFL Age Ladder
This stat shows that all clubs have a similar average age, 23-25. Average age of top 10 in B&F would be more relevant and I think would show where Father Time might be watching on closely….

2022 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver
Love the way he plays. Tough as nails with no malice. Skilful and self-less. Best since Robbie (sorry Jimmy).

Paxman to Fremantle
Paxy was fantastic this year and a massive part of our success. She set the bar with both skill and effort - I wish her well whatever she decides.

Hoping to see Lachie Hunter feature prominently in the 2023 list. Can also use the ball.- Hawks racism allegations (merged thread)
Wow. This is very sad but great that it is now in the open. Does this taint Clarko’s legacy and all others involved/who stayed silent: Yze, Viney snr? Should North be pulling the eject lever?- PODCAST: QF Preview vs Sydney
Who is our best matchup for Buddy?- Farewell Oscar McDonald
Jake just got to OMacs Melbourne goal tally. Both were rippers and I went nuts each time. Nicest bloke and I wish him well with the rest of this life stuff.- POSTGAME: AFLW Rd 01 vs Adelaide
Well played by the girls, some great contest and pressure and much improved by hand. When Tayla nailed that goal off one step from 40 I told my wife ‘I wish I could kick like that!’- AFLW GAMEDAY : Rd 01 vs Adelaide
https://www.geelongcats.com.au/news/1140535/cats-welcome-demons-duo-on-day-three Shelly Scott and Jacqueline Parry to Geelong were our losses. Adelaide very strong but no longer the state squad.- The Luck of the Draw
I’d like to see the home and away draw be mostly a draw rather than a fixture with 22 playing rounds, 18 teams, marquee games and final 8. First 17 rounds: each side plays each other once Each 2 yrs each club must request 2 to be fixed date marquee games with consent of other club. Home/away one each, will be assigned. Every attempt made to honour blockbuster dates, subject to master calendar. Club must choose 2 different marquee oppo clubs. You get either 8 or 9 home games. second block of 5: Every 3 yrs teams are distributed to a A, B, C group based on weighted finish order for last 3 yrs. Eg. If you finish 1,3,8 your weight is 12 and you’ll be pool A if this was lowest, otherwise B if 2nd lowest etc. In 2nd block you play each of the other sides in the same A, B, C group as your club once. You get 2 or 3 home games but your season total home is 11. I think this feature is fair, transparent and has minimal but essential change. The draw shouldn’t be used for equalisation, we have drafts and caps for that….- Is Bayley Fritsch the best mid sized forward?
Pardon the pun but his ability to keep his feet when others can’t is outstanding.- My 3 word player analysis V Fremantle
I thought he took a step tonight and was very physical Sparrow - put body in- Jack Gunston
We might need to trade for a younger, emerging KPF. Was impressed by Logan McDonald against 🦢. Others with huge upside? - Farewell Luke Jackson
