2018 Rd 6: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[Baggers]

Thanks gents. That's still 10 more than us, and IMO counts for a lot. Adding up each player's age and taking an average can give a distorted view of the age profile.

I seldom if ever take this stat seriously, or of influence. Very young sides have won Premierships and sides with senior blokes bristling with experience have flopped badly.

One constant for success -- look at the Pussycats/Fluffy Ducks/Dawks/Tiggers -- is a core group of about 15/16 blokes playing together week in, week out.

We've got about 5 very important blokes out at present, which means about 5 blokes are getting games by default. When that changes, I reckon we'll get a much better idea of where we are at. But the clock is ticking... loudly...
