Which way is that one Russian? Oldest to youngest? I don't know wat i'm doing is all Zeke. Can you please find out the average age and post it. Thanx that would be a help. Also very interesting with the talk of the cats, saints and eagles being young. Thought people would be interested to know how young the teams acually are

its probly more accurate if u take the first 25 players at each club. i think collingwood have the youngest list but that doesnt mean they have the youngst side taking to the ground each week. they have plenty of dud youngsters that wont make it.
 
Thats a great call. Maybe take into acount fringe players though. Say people like Koula, Mcarthey and David Johnson. Possibly 3-4 fringe players from each club.

This average age of the list is just crap. It should be the teams best 22 players that count. Every club regardless of how old their best players are have young kids... its called the draft.... but those young kids may never ever be AFL footballers. How can a 19 year old struggling in the VFL to get a kick and looking at being delisted have the same value as a 20 year old Chris Judd winning a brownlow or a 18 year old Sam Butler or Beau Waters who are already looking at being 10 year players.

It should be done on who has the youngest current 22 because they are the ones who will be the teams of the next 3 to 5 years.

It's funny to see your despise of everything Adelaide, yet you praise two of your young South Australian talents in your beloved Eagles...

By the way, when the media highlights a team as having the oldest list, does that include the rookie listed players as well? Or just the elvated rookies? How does it work?

nah cause not all of your 22 has an impact every week.. it should be the average of your best 5 players on bi-weekly basis, taking into account form slumps, injury, and trade value...

Based on the teams in the 'Best 22 right now' thread on the D&T board, Port's team is more than a year older than 2nd placed Brisbane (of 11 teams posted there) and 3 years older than Freo.

True like every other team they have youngsters on their list who wont make it. But on the other end of the scale we have some very good youngsters who will be stars of the game in years to come; C.CLOKE, RICHARDS, ROWE, B.SHAW to name but a few...
