I think people oon BigFooty and in media seriously under rate the experience factor. Thats one thing you can't buy and certainly something you can't replace. Come finals time I would rather have experienced players on my team than a bunch of youngsters who a re generally more of a risk in pressure games.
One thing that intruiges me is that everyone is raving about brisbane going for 4 in a row (and rightly so as they are the best side in the comp) despite the fact they have as many as 5 players over 30 and Michael Voss in serious doubt as far as playing out the season is concerned. Lions rely on majority of those players to bring their game week in week out with Lynch being one of them. Yet Crows have 3 or 4 players over 30 and rely less on them than Brisbane does on theirs. Somehow Crows are old and Brisbane aren't.
