I expected North to be around the 75 game average. I suppose they have some guys that bump them up a bit. Still, not as inexperienced as I thought.

Their seven oldest players are an ex-GWS, two ex-Lions, two ex-Suns, Ziebell, and Goldstein.

Corr, Polec, Hall, ...?

Oh, Greenwood and Walker. Delistees throw me because who remembers them. :p
 
The only category where the outmatch us is in player height.

This suggests that their only hope is to win the centre clearances and pump it in deep and fast.

If we can contain them there, it's hard to see how they can match us at ground level or contain our versatile forwards, as long as we don't have a dirty night in in front of goal.

This is an advantage of the graphs - you can see that, for example - while the Roos have an overall advantage in height that's exclusively in the 170-190cm range. We have all three of the 2m+ players. Arguable an advantage on the ground, but less so in the air.

8 players 200+ after resting Selwood. Its just wow

Yeah, IIRC they've been sitting with that kind of level of experience for years.
They've got Selwood, Hawkins, Higgins as 34 years old this year and Isaac Smith is 33.
Dangerfield is 32 and there's a few more of their top players not too far behind.
If our players of Zorko, Neale etc were all in that age group I would feel like it's this year or full rebuild.
They could easily show us up tomorrow night because it's their home ground but their list really looks like its finally so close to falling off a cliff. They can either start the transition sometime this year if they're a long way off the 8 or next year might be painful.

Actually quite a stunning comparison - I assume Pendlebury is out ahead skewing the average a fair bit, but they still have a heap in the 100 - 200+ game category.
