You'll find that Lloyd, Lucas and Fletcher greatly push up the average age of our team. The team was young no doubt and you only had to look at the backline to see how inexperienced it really was.I learnt that weren't as many Baby Bombers out there as their supporters and the media believes.

And the Blues were considered sodas when we had the younger side.
- The average age of this Carlton side was 23 years and 166 days old with an average experience of 72.7 games per player.
- Essendon's average age was 23 years and 359 days and average experience of 77.0 games per player.
- Dustin Fletcher was the oldest player at 33 years and 340 days old and the most experienced footballer with 297 games.
- Essendon had three players who had played more games than Nick Stevens.
- Essendon had 6 players who had played 20 games and 4 who played less than 10 games.
- Only one Essendon player who had played less than 20 games, has played less games than the 4 Carlton players playing their 3rd match.
- Carlton had 4 players under 20 years of age.
- Essendon also had 4 players aged under 20.
Yet we lost to the Baby Bombers if you've seen the media reports.
Carlton has no upside if you've read the posts of Bomba4eva...
I never said Carlton had no upside. In fact I said both teams development was pretty much on par. I merely stated we have more key players to return.
I don't want to push it as I've been told I'll be banned from this board but you are taking my posts out of context.
