Not overly enamoured by Thu night footy. Much prefer Fri night as a way to ring in the weekend. Otherwise let's get crazy and start playing games Tue afternoon like it's 2020 all over again
 
Posted this in the “next club to fall off the cliff” thread a couple of months back. Pies fans didn’t like it, but it’s not looking good for them.


Collingwood are the oldest list in the comp and have 1 player under 28 from the top 10 in the draft on their list. If we push it out to Top 15, they have 2.
We all know Nick Daicos is a supreme talent, but he's going to need more help to fill the void left by the older heads as they leave or decline.

Geelong, who are second oldest, have 2 under 28 from the top 10, but 4 from the Top 15.
Melbourne 3rd oldest list. 3 top 10 picks under 28, and 6 top 15.

I won't go too deep on Brisbane, because they're likely to have 3 number 1 picks on their list by the end of 2024. 😳

Looking at Carlton, they're 6th oldest, 6 top 10 picks under 28 and 9 top 15 picks.

Other Collingwood posters have already conceded that their list manager has a bit of work to do in the next 1-2 years to replace Pendlebury, Cox, Sidebottom, Elliot, Howe Mitchell, Mihocek etc.

It's really not that surprising of a take to say "old players need to be replaced with quality, or you'll dip down".
