No Excuses

[Loui Tufga]

Look at our team, we have some seriously very good players, with a couple of new faces and improved players we picked up last year.

Excuse wise other than injuries what prevents us from getting into the finals next year then, lets see the answers to the question reversed??

We are still a very young side with young bodies and young minds, you cant build Maturity and mental strength overnight............But there are No Excuses so hopefully the lads are pumping themselves full of protein powders and brain food as we speak because they will need every ounce of it this season....

So the way Cotch, Martin, Conco, Grimes, Batch etc.... played last year surely they have matured more, add that to the rest of the group and thats a lot of maturity football mid wise and some if not a lot of our boys have put the weight on.

Yes! they all Matured into 20 - 21 year olds

So why has age got anything to do with it.... look at the size of Martin....Most players are retired at between 28-30......not long left then??

So we cant play finals because of age....mmmmmm....baby Bombers....

Where is your proof? Average players "retire" at that age when they're no longer wanted by their club.

The proof is in the body size and the average age of the last 5 or 6 grand final teams

lol....Baby Bombers The baby bombers were a revelation that changed the game of AFL forever. It was a young slight but fast side that ran rings around guys like Mick Martin and other slow and hopeless bookends. It was a masterstroke in game style on that all recruiting in this day and age is based on.....

Really, would have to research, but have a look back recently, as as back as Wowoden (spelling??) Agree a lot are disgarded but a lot retire too.

Shane got delisted and wanted to play on.

You said it yourself, revalation, why cant we do it....differently then..another revalation....

Shane got delisted and wanted to play on.

Yes I know....but did he...he was not wanted at that age...AFL

Ok. look at the average age of retired and delisted players then??

[Coach]

You said most players retire at 28-30. If they're not good enough anymore (Ryan Lonie) or no longer wanted (Joel Bowden) then they will. Guys that can still play don't retire until they're ready

ok either way the best I cand find is that they finish at between 28-32....sorry I was two years out.

Great idea, they should all take knives out on to the field and start stabbing a few opponents, that ought to  revolutionise the game

So ok, so far you have age and body size as your excuses.....same excuses could of been used in a few wars that were won by the very same type of person you describe.


Really is that it.....

Yes there might..... but still think we should of traded him...or tried if we didn't...I hope the hell he proves me wrong. I have been saying that for years now. He hasn't!!
