You couldn't be more wrong.Mate seriously this game had nothing to do with whos older or who had more experience in games.

Older teams win 57% of the time. When the difference is the age gap Melbourne had on us tonight, teams win 55% of the time. Under Hardwick, we've lost about 70% of games when the younger side, and won about 90% when we're the older team. That suggests his gameplan requires physical maturity to carry out.
If you bet on football, or take your tipping seriously, you're hamstringing yourself if you don't factor in the respective ages of the teams.
Back on topic, I've already said we need to look for a new coach. I suspect we've had our eyes peeled since about Round 9 last year.
