Over all I was very pleased with the way we played. I was thinking under 5 goals
The list age is irrelevant really we had many more over 30s who bought our age up but have hardly any mid career guys who should be hitting their straps. The Dogs have Morris and Murphy and that about it who are in the older brigade. They then have a huge glut of guys at 50 to 100 games who should be peaking. Our list profile is very uneven.
The problem with your analysis is the Bulldogs played with a younger side than us last night. So you cant say we are in a Rebuild when we put that side on the field. Dogs ave age last night was 24. Ours was 25.
Back in Rd 6 we had a younger side than them - and we won (24.2 v 24.4).
I am happy to lose when we are rebuilding. But don't sell us 'Future-fest' but then deliver 'Dad's Army.'
