Brownlow Medallist
I'm very concerned by the fact, (on average) our list is 1.5 years older than the youngest list.
What is it that concerns you exactly? Because a young group isn’t an indicator of success.
If there’s anything concerning about the data it’s our experience ranking being lower than our age ranking. The aim is to have a mature group (not old) with plenty of experience. We drop on that metric because we have a number of guys who’ve missed large chunks of footy through injury. You give Langdon, Elliott, Scharenberg and Moore 30 extra games each then it’s likely we’re both younger (they’d all be paid more so we couldn’t afford to keep others) and more experienced (the guys that played some of those matches instead of them are no longer on the list). It’s all relative and the deeper your talent in the 22-29 bracket the better.
Carlton bother me on that metric because they’re young and have built an experienced core. Although Betts and Simpson are blowing out their experience.
