So what

That's NO EXCUSE

 

 

[Dubstep Dookie]

Only 60 days younger than Carlton.

No excuses anymore.

Time to walk the walk.

I think the more relevant stats are average games played and 100 game players.

Need average games played to be up around 60 and at least 10 hundred gamers to challenge.

Doesn't mean we can't make the 8 if we've got the bottle

[Mr Magic]

I think the more relevant stats are average games played and 100 game players.

Agree hence why the club was so keen to get games into youngsters last season.
Also in an age where there's more and more mature players coming into the system, the age stat is less relevant.
Experience is the key.

[Loui Tufga]

Average games played means nothing if you only an average player
Many games have been gifted to the Average over the last couple of seasons, lets hope that this year Hardwick stays true to his word and makes players earn there spot in the team!

Expelled for illusion to McMahon.

Back in 2002 -2003 we had 10 plus players with 100 games experience and our average age was over 24....Oh and we were crap too.

Means squat.
Apart from the Wallace tenure for the most part in the last 25 years we have had pretty young teams.
Hasn't transferred to onfield success.
It's the quality of those youngsters that will determine your success.

100% on the mark as most of you are.

Youth and age are only figures to support an argument. It means nothing

That person who said Blues are only 60 days older is proof its the quality of player that will determine your spot in the ladder.

Barring a Fremantle injury crisis of 2011 there is not one other excuse for not making the 8 this year. Not one

[WA Tiger]

So what

That's NO EXCUSE

 

 

Gee you are really stalking my arse lately aren't you, maybe the mods will ban you for a bit.......

Honestly though, look at the differences, there is a hair line difference in the ages of all clubs.......and the better ones have more experience with a year age difference......so whats all the  jumping around about..

Look at the table, there NO EXCUSES!!!!!!
