They had six players 22 and under. So did Carlton.
They had 4 , 10 games or less. So did Carlton. 13 of their 16 goals were kicked by players 27 yrs or older. Blues had 15 of 19 kicked by 27 or younger.
We’re in reasonable shape age wise…..
Our age/games played profile is skewed by Eddie and Murph. Take those two out of our lineup and we have a very young, inexperienced side.
Some ex-footballers provide interesting insights and Ling is no exception. However, in this case, he should have engaged his brain before making his under 23 comment.
In fact, you’d only need half a brain to see that our under 23s are far superior to Essenscum’s ?
