Can we also put on this 'winning premiership' if we are going to have a goal we might as well have the ultimate one

In all fairness, parish had a blinder of a first season and will greatly benefit when his banned brother return

Melksham might have been on the list but never played a game. The youngest side reflects who plays that week, of which Melbourne was the youngest side for 14 rounds. Adding 260 games, 114 games and 90 games will have a difference to the average. The last game of the year vs Geelong our average games was 69 games. I presume this will bump up to 80 with these inclusions.

Couldn't find the previous thread... Who will the Dee's delist in the coming weeks? Usually there are 6-7 that make way. I think all below are on shaky ground. Michie, White, Dawes, Terlich, Newton, Grimes, Max King, Pederson Not too sure who else is shaky, who will be traded and who will be on Rookie list.

This round: Average games played - 61 Average age - 23yo Again, youngest most inexperienced side of the round. Even GC went out with a more mature side. Any suprise that our season is such a rollercoaster? We have fielded the youngest most inexperienced side for 15 rounds this year

Im staggered that O Mcd is getting games in front of Dunn. I dont even know who they plan Oscar on. Hawthorn arent exactly the tallest forward line in the league. He will most likely be matched on gunston or bruest who will be stronger, faster and smarter than him. We might as well hand over 4 goals to hawthorn before the game even starts.

We were also substantially smaller. We gave up on average 4kg to them. Ussuly weight and height are standard throughout the league.

We wil no doubt have a rollercoaster year with 14 players under 50 games... Will be improved slightly with Jetta, trenners, Tyson and pedo coming back in.

Footywire. Treasure trove of information http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_match_statistics?mid=6250 have a look at the bottom RHS on the desktop version. Mobile doesn't have all the info

Lions were young this weekend but slightly older and more experienced. average age 24yo and 66 games http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_match_statistics?mid=6250

It's not really a record. Just a record in the comp this year. I haven't gone back to last year but I don't think we are far off.

Didn't think we could go any younger but we did. Record youngest side this weekend. 23yo 2 months. 57 games average. 14 players under 50 games. I think GC and GWS first games had a more experienced side. Might be the youngest side that we will field for the next 10 years. We are building something special here.

We fielded our youngest side all year this weekend. Great effort to come home with the chocolates

Saints averaged 100 games today. Dont under estimate the effect that reiwoldt, monty, fisher, dempster have on the side. All 200 game plus players. We just don't have that.

Still the youngest and most inexperienced side in the competition. These loses are expected

Salem is wasted down back. Unfortunately grimes can't be trusted down back and melk is out for the year.

Jake is a superior player atm to both wagner and hunt. Will got a spot over then all day long

Very good analysis...

There is a common theme with all GF sides. Starting 22 have an average of 100 games and age of 27.

On the weekend we fielded the youngest and most inexperienced side in the comp. Average age of 23 years and 10 months with 62 games. Shows that there is massive upside and also that this year will be a bit of a roller coaster regarding performance.

Totally agree.. He will dominate at VFL level and will get called in for the seniors round 5-6.

I think Oliver is a lock for a forward role come round 1.... Has the size and strength. Just needs a good preseason to build his fitness

Defensive work??? We are not planning for this guy to be a tagger. the best form of defense for this guy is attack. Sides will need to get 2 players on him in order to bring him down. Are you comparing him to Mckenzie because he is a red head? Mckenzie couldn't break tackles and is listed as 71kg. Clayton has 15 kg on Jordan and has just turned 18.

Nearly every AFL aligned VFL side has 10-12 AFL players. That's a lot more than 2 at WAFL and SANFL

Parish might turn out to be a gun however the football departments preference was for a bigger bodies mid
