25 players under 23 years of age must make us close to the youngest side in the comp. We now have only 9 Tigers older than 25 and Richo has become the old man of the side lol.
Youngsters developing
18 - Collins, Connors, Edwards, JON, Riewoldt
19 - Casserly, Deledio, Hughes, McGuane, Peterson, White, Graham
20 - Jackson, Meyer, Patto, Polo, Raines, Tambling, Thursfield
21 - Foley, Hartigan, Schulz, Howat
22 - Moore, Polak
Peaking
23 - Krak
24 - Cogs, Hyde, Newman, Pettifer
25 - Paddy, Tuck
26 - Hall, Knobel
27 - Tivs
28 - Joel, Browny, Johnson, Simmo
Nearing retirement
30 - Gas
31 - Richo

I think Tezza made that claim after the draft. However, someone would have to redo the maths after the draft.

That list is looking healthier and healthier.
Two more years :pray

Hopefully that list will not only bring us a bit of glory but the calibre of it will be able to be sustained without having to go through dramatic eras like we've seen in the last three or so years of turning over an entire list. Terry needed a five year contract just to do that. I'd like to see it extended this year so he has the chance to work on what he's recruited.
All that is subject of course to the quality he has or hasn't recruited. I reckon we'll have a better idea next year of where we're at and how long it will take.
But certainly looks more optimistic than a couple of years ago.
Billy Nicholls, who? lol
Sorry WP :bow

Someone once told me one true reality about being a supporter and that is as a kid you look at the players and you see them as heroes and idols then one day you wake up in the morning and think poo im actually older than the players lol...when that day comes people its time to get a move and do the things u wanna do in your life and not pee fart around- which raises another key question why are we pee farting around forums lol. ;D

The scariest stat there is the Eagles have a young list. The rest of the youngest 8 didn't make the finals but they played in their second straight GF and are reigning premiers :-\.
