Cotchin, Reiwoldt and Tarrant retire and replaced by draftees then the age demographic drops to 25.4 and the games played drops to 98.2. equal to where North are sitting

Yep.

Tarrant done already, Cotchin on the blink and Jack too.

This stat is useless.

Also only 2 other teams in that top 8 have won a flag recently let alone 3. We peaked and are now coming down. With more champions retiring in coming years our demo will drop towards the bottom. It’s the circle of life.

That list is based on list age and experience not the side that takes the field each round

So it makes it flawed

What would be interesting is what the nu,bers look like every round

Forget which game it was this season but our side that day was younger and less experienced than our oppo who supposedly are much younger than us

It was either Adelaide or GC but it was one of those
