I've identified the players for whom the milestones are irrelevant. They have all clearly played enough football to be considered experienced. That's Category 1.

I didn't say El Hawli and Edwards are experienced. They are 2 of 30 players I identified as being AFL standard which I distinguish from the standard of kids who are clearly not physically mature enough to perform at the level (which why I left Caddy, Roberts and Kako out of the list). The '1' and '2' in their games played columns contributes to a distortion of the perceived readiness of the list based on games played. They are clearly not the equivalent of 18-20 yo rookies as their respective debuts indicated.  We saw the same thing from Martin who hit the ground as a ready made player.
