You The Coach (Internal Trial Match): Elders v. Children

[GremioPower]

Field the sides and argue on why one team would win over the other.

Our AFL roster has 42 players. We can divided it into 2 sides of 21 each. What if we did is by age?

Here are the teams' lists:

​

How would distribute the players on the field? Which team would be stonger? Who would win if there were a match between them?

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Elders would win by about 80 I'd say. Just clearly better across all parts of the ground.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Elders vs children eh

Hot topic

Elders vs children eh

Hot topic

Diversion. We want to avoid hot topics at the moment.

It is a very nerdy proposal, I know. But it is a way of looking into the state of our list.

Being an old man myself, my vote is with my fellow demographic

 

[Ports1870]

The younger teams defence would get shattered.

 

[Schulzenfest]

I'm pretty sure the answer would be 'elders' for us and pretty much every other team in the league.

 

[Interstater]

If the Elders team was able to be frozen in time and the Childrens team instantly was 5 years older and had 100 games more experience, who would win

 

[GremioPower]

I'm pretty sure the answer would be 'elders' for us and pretty much every other team in the league.

Yes, but would there be any competitive match-up? Would there be weaknesses and strengths that the youngster might be able to exploit?

I have that the interchangers would be:
- Goldsack, Lienert, Mayes;
- Frederick, Burgoyne, Schofield.

But I haven't put the teams together to be sure about that.

Small forwards is about the only area (Rozee, Butters) the youngsters might edge their elder counterparts. Given they'd be up against a defense with big bodies (and now with AA intercepted marking) and in front of a midfield that'd get smashed, it wouldn't be anywhere near enough to make them competitive.

Children's team decimated due to inappropriate Instagram pics. Elders easy.

 

[GremioPower]

I’m not sure it would be a walk-in-the-park as some are saying. The Elders are better, for sure, but there would be some competition — wouldn’t it?

I couldn't avoid putting Houston and Burton as forwards. Have I done something wrong with the line-ups?
