Nice work Pezz - interesting analysis.
It also really shows the massive 'hole' in our forward line / goal kicking setup. There is one player [Jed Lamb] between 22 & 28 and he is not even an established forward. He did play a bunch of games as a defensive HFF last season, but he has 36 goals from 48 games and is still a fringe player.
It's at this age that good forwards are really starting to hit their straps, and we are basically bereft in this department. We have attempted to fix the mid and back line age / experience issues, but we haven't done anything so far this off season with solving the forward line problems.
It's still a huge issue for us in 2018 that we only have 4 players established across the board in that 22 to 27 age bracket. The combination of these 2 issues is likely to see us lose a few more than we win in 2018.
