LLLLWWWWLWW looks a hell of a lot better than than LLLLLLLLLLL which is what many were predicting. I only saw the second half and it looked ugly for the most part. JW was the standout, composure plus that kid. Dare I say it but Gorringe is starting to do a few nice things. What a difference Kreuzer makes to our the structure of our side, it is so noticeable. Interesting fact during the commentary we are the 3 oldest side in the comp! Is that correct? Anyway, a wins a win.
Da dada dada!
Go Blues.

9th oldest list in the comp.

3rd oldest team - have heard that quoted a few times. Not sure if it relates to age (guessing it is) or games played. We do have some older boys with low kms on the clock though.

Important thing is how many you have in the 23-28 range as that's usually where player are in the 60-150 game range.. Average is one thing, standard deviation from the average (statistical measure) is a better guide. We have players like Simmo that skew the average.

TV commentary 3/4 time was Kruez was physically sick. No mention of head knock, but who knows.
Wish the big fella a speedy recovery. Gee we're so much better with him on the ground.

Another good even team effort which is the most pleasing thing about this season.
Hard to pick the best player, which is odd in a 40 point win, but even harder to pick a bad player.
Gorringe is looking much more comfortable, it's amazing what some senior games can do.
Tough game next week, St Kilda have a good sprinkling of young talent and move the ball very quickly.

I'm going to keep bagging Gorringe as it's making him play well...lol!!!

St.Kilda's a tricky game. We were 5% down at times today and St.Kilda, while not great, is just the side to take advantage of a side not fully switched on.

Agree, as far as I'm concerned it really is an irrelevant bit of media discussion.

Cor blimey this winning business is getting a bit tiresome, eh what?  :P

Didn't take long for young Weits to get his groove back.  Another excellent tackling performance across the board, putting pressure on their forwards - seems to be a barometer for us.  Calm heads + belief in yourself + knowledge that your efforts will be appreciated = accurate kicking. Let me be the first to say ... danger game next week!

Definitely relating to Age.
Showed a stat where we were a year older on average vs the Lions today.

Just on that, we have quite a few players who are in the team, but not really relied upon.
Played today (age) - Could take their spot (age)
Army (30) - Boekhorst (22)
White (28) - Jaksch (21)
Walker (30) - J. Silvagni (18)
Everitt (27) - C. Curnow (19)
You could replace any of them without too much drama

If we did that, we are a year younger than the lions today.

Add to that...
Jamo (30) likely to retire.
Wood (29) a rookie likely to retire
Rowe (28) is currently in top form, but is also in the process of being replaced by Plowman/Weitering combo.

We also have a few more mature rookies in
Sheehan (25)
Korcheck (24)
Galucci (22)
...who could easily be replaced by younger rookies.

Yes we are old, but our talent lies within the younger brigade. ;)

If Casboult gets cited for a late hit I expect the club to send a video of Robbo's even more blatant example from 30 seconds earlier to the MRP.

The umpire that failed to make the correct decision in the first place (pay the late hit) should also be held to account.  This is what happens when obvious  free kicks aren't paid.

Average age is meaningless, it's the number you have in the right age bracket with the right number of games behinds. Having a number late 20's, 30 and older as well as a number of good ones very young, teens/early 20s to make an average of 25, is not the same as having most of your list in the 24-28 range making the same average. The latter you have the majority in your prime, the former you have many youngsters ready to come though, with the average skewed by a few older ones.

Like i said, the standard deviation from the average gives a much better picture. That tells you stable your average is as it tells you how much variation you have from the average.

Hope you're right Prof. Common sense says he should be fine - it was late but just a bump mostly side-on.  My concern is the AFL highlights of the game show the Levi bump on Robbo 3 or 4 times... and nothing is shown of the Robbo bump on Levi a minute earlier  >:(

On recent history (and seeing as it's us) I wouldn't be surprised if the bastards give Levi a week though. He should've just punched Robbo in the nuts instead as that's apparently not an offence any more  ::)

I don't think he made contact to the head? Should be fine.

If you look at our age demographics, you will see that we are under represented in players aged 20, 21, 24, 25 and 26.  The fact that we only have five 20 and 21 year olds skews our average age.  It's not a critical issue.
