Rd 11: Post Game Excitement: Carlton vs Brisbane

[Baggers]

This table annoys me. Average age is 23-27,  hardly massive differences the numbers. It means absolutely nothing.

You can have old spuds and young spuds, older guns, young guns

Age means nothing in this game, yet we are obsessed by it.

We could have Kane Lucas or Mathew Wright?
Dennis Armfield or Mathew Watson?

Thank the gods someone has said this and said it well. I was scanning through the posts and was, when reading all the comments about age, about to say exactly the same thing. This age thing is just such a small issue. Premierships have been won by old teams, young teams and teams with a mix. Wooden spoons have been collected by old teams, young team and teams with a mix. To put such emphasis on age and try to explain significant results due to it is simply bullshizen.
