Is there somewhere that has the average age of sides? Cause we could all say without Buckley or Richo we would be etc
Way to go about turning this into a thread bragging about Collingwood. Take the oldest players out of any squad and suddenly they'll be alot younger. Way to go.
stupid comment
if every club was allowed to take off their two oldest players - Collingwood would be about 6th youngest at a quick glance....
Minus Archer, Simpson, Harvey, Grant & Thompson, North Melbourne are the youngest by far.
Take out Crawford and Vanders and our list is even younger again
I found this in a search for list ages -
AFL Squads Average Age (at 30 March 2007)
Hawthorn – 22 years, 82 days
Carlton – 22 years, 110 days
Port Adelaide – 22 years, 132 days
Brisbane – 22 years, 173 days
West Coast – 22 years, 180 days
Go to each clubs site.
Add up the age of each player
Divide by 40, and you have it.
Minus his knackers, your uncle is your aunty - what's your point?
Really?
By far younger than Hawthorn minus Crawford & Dixon, or Carlton minus Kouta & Lappin
Yes exactly...we could argue about it all day, but there is a list with the average age of all the clubs (somewhere).
All I can remember is that some of the older sides include Adelaide, Fremantle and suprisingly the Bulldogs.

Would you happen to have the avaerage ages of all the other clubs?
Not that surprising.
Scott West, Chris Grant, Luke Darcy, Matthew Robbins, Brad Johnson, Jason Akermanis, Nathan Eagleton & Brett Montgomery are all on the Hounds list.
Nothing that I can find. If you do a search of bigfooty you'll be able to find a post about list ages, but that was the most recent post I've found after the last draft.
I bet that most years the premiership team is one of the oldest. The Eagles have been the recent exception.
Having a young team is normally the result of having a crap team for lengthy period of time.
The object of most clubs would be to build an experienced list.

Already did this.
At the start of 2007 season, the top 3 were-
1.Hawthorn
2.Carlton
3.Kangaroos
May have changed now however.

I am more interested at seeing which team is playing the Youngest side (i.e. players that are actually in the games not just on the list).
Has anyone got a database that could do the stats?

One of the papers in their season preview (might have been the age) ranked each team as say 4th youngest in each teams preview.But that is the only thing that i have seen re average ages
How could have it changed?

Good point,it's one thing to have a young list,but whats running around in the seniors would be even better to know
Look the Doggies, for years they were one of the youngest teams, but most young players aren't match winners. It took them years before guys like Gilbey/McMann etc had the experience needed to help the side win matches. Most of those guys are over 25 now.
I think a more accurate and more interesting method would be to calculate the ages of the teams with the data coming exclusively from players that have played this year.
For example, Michael Voss is still on Brisbane's list because of contractual reasons. Yet he's a Channel Ten commentator....so why include his age in the Lion's avarage?
I don't have time....anyone else??
