Walker may have had a poor game previously, but has done far more than an underdone Porplyzia, Knights & at least has kicked better than Burton. Should be playing ahead of all of these 3 & also deep in the forward line where he does his best work.
If it's meant to be on 5AA it isn't as I'm getting something else.
Is it on LifeFM (I think it's called) or something? I recall reading a while ago they were trying to cover games I think.

that's a little economical there. Mattner himself said he didn't want to go to Sydney when they first approached him. midway through the season.
but as he kept discovering he was on the outer, more and more sydney's wooing of him started to look attractive.
in the end he asked for a trade, but he didn't start from that position.

exactly. we remain one of the leagues oldest teams, despite all these amazing young players (?!).
Malthouse makes the point he generally likes to introduce first gamers to Anzac day to see what they're made of. (don't know if he did this week).
we'd never do that.

Since we'll never have the ANZAC Day clash, it can hardly be claimed with certainty.
A better comparison would be to see how many young players play game 1-5 in a Showdown.
Who cares...how many backwards handballs has he executed from half-back?
Let's get our KPI's right.
Even Sat morning on AA Clarke was answering the Taylor questions with the emphasis that goals this week weren't going to count for much but rather doing all the little things that he needs to work on.
How about our coaching staff work on selecting goal kicking forwards and playing them as forwards somewhere in the half of the ground near our own goals
Our team list as a whole is actually the 6th oldest in the competition at the moment, we're right in the middle of the pack. Our list averages 23.41 years of age. We're a whole 0.04 years older, per player, than Port Adelaide who are 7th on the list.
http://afl.allthestats.com/teams/teamlistavgs.php
The team we fielded last week had an average age of 25.4 years, making it also the 6th oldest team to hit the paddock - behind Geelong (avg 26.7), St Kilda, Footscray, Sydney and Collingwood.
http://afl.allthestats.com/statistics/avgage.php
Both averages are heavily skewed by the presence of the veterans.
We're not one of the oldest teams in the league - and we'll probably be getting very close to Richmond territory next year (avg age of team list just 22.50 years) if we lose all 5 of our veterans simultaneously.
Poor performance so far from Walker...only has the 3 to 3/4 time.
Will need another 5 goals, 10 tackles, 15 handballs this quarter to push for selection this week...i mean standards would need to be high to break into the Adelaide side at present.

6th out of 16th isn't middle of the pack.
if we consider finishing 6th on the table to be a successful campaign...
we are supposed to be a young side, and that just shows ARE one of the oldest teams.
No. the averages correctly reflect our reliance on those veterans.
Classic Non Sequitur
All of the data you presented shows clearly, and unmistakeably we are one of the oldest teams.
Performance wise we are currently in prime Richmond territory.

If he kicks one goal in the last quarter does that mean he would get one per quarter for the game? NC would LOVE that sort of consistency, and would rate that sort of game much higher than if he'd kicked 6 or 7 in the first half and then not been sighted after half time.
2x 300 gamers. Goodwin won't even get to 300 if he plays every game this year.
As long as he doesn't kick 2 or more in the last qtr, that would be inconsistent.

Yes, quite right.
"One of the oldest" says to me that we're in the top 2 or 3. We're not, as I clearly showed. Neither our list as a whole (including the veterans), nor the team we've selected each week this season, is "one of the oldest". We're right in the middle of the pack.
We're 6th out of 16, 12-13 days older than 7th and 0.14 years (51 days) older than 8th.
Footscray are the oldest team in the league. They average 24.13 years to our 23.41, a difference of approximately 263 days. St Kilda are also a full half-year older than our team on average.
I'm certainly not saying that we're one of the youngest sides going around in 2010, but for you to suggest that we're "one of the oldest" is a bald faced lie which flies in the face of the statistics.

top 2 or 3 is all you. congrats.
you clearly showed we are one of the oldest. end of.
I am not suggesting, you proved we are one of the oldest.
unless you have stats that show we are not 6th, then save your breath.

when someone points at a picture of lemon, and tells you that proves it is an orange what do you think the facts are and what do they tell you?
we are the 11th youngest then - feel better?
