Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 12 - Suns v Bombers Sun June 2nd 4pm AEST (People First)

[Call Me Cake]

You do some strange calculations

Shiel does not play

I was speaking of the entire list.

Compare what I set out with most of the clubs and it is one of the youngest in the AFL.

I thought so.

BTW, you had the 12th oldest list at the start of the season (24.4). Small differences in the middle - e.g., Sydney 6th 24.6.
Younger lists - GWS, Adelaide, Fremantle, Eagles, Hawks, North (23.2).

Most teams have some old players over 30.

You certainly don't play young line-ups like Suns. You always kill Suns with speed and spread in the middle. Impressive defence, rebound now.

I like your list profile. I think you could compete for the ultimate price with some finals experience.

I was pointing out that the overall list is 22.3 on age average and 70.2 on games when Goldy/Heppell/Shiel are taken out.

And yes, you're right, other teams have older players. The difference is, their players are elite (ours ain't) and do most of the heavy lifting for them. All of the heavy lifting for us is done by our less experienced cohort.

For example,

Sam Durham - 22 yrs, 59 games
Jye Caldwell - 23 yrs, 66 games
Nic Martin - 23 yrs, 55 games

What are they going to be like when they're 25/26 and 100+ games in?

We have overachieved this year and this is not our final form, and I don't know why you keep saying "enjoy the game" I'm expecting us to lose.

The whole point going to game is to have a fun, enjoy it. At least for me. And I said it only once as far as I can see. Feel whatever you like. Enough from me.

 

[Billy ray]

Absolute shitshow outside the ground.

 

[Randomizor]

Why name Goldstein in the first place?

 

[The King!]

I hate them but Bombers will win this comfortably

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Yes, Rowell was a throw, but how about the high contact in the ruck before that?

 

[The 747]

Why name Goldstein in the first place?

Scotts love the late change

 

[The King!]

Bombers get the rub of the green every week

 

[The 747]

The Edge on fire early.

 

[Randomizor]

Yawn where goals?

 

[YeoShuey]

The game is so much better when the big 3 teams are doing well. Hopefully Essendon win this.

West Coast have been better but not sure they are doing well. Sydney and Pies yes.

 

[Randomizor]

Think he meant in terms of revenue. So Freo are Pies doing well. WC not so much.

 

[Drummond]

2 forwards to choose from, picked the bombers defender. Nice.

 

[The 747]

Bombers haven't made them pay for the early dominance.

 

[The 747]

You have tall forwards drafted at pick 1, pick 2 and pick 3 (IIRC) in your forward line. You kick the high balls to Ben Long

This is Essendon. We are so defensively focused at the moment that we are never set up properly offensively. We will get there.

Well at least you have a defence now. Can build from there.

Yeah! It's the thing we have needed for 7k days.

 

[blinkd]

Really easy transition for Suns

 

[The 747]

The bear is very very good. Important goal.

I'm outraged the stadium is called people first and not first people.
