Richmond VS Melbourne: Battle of the two best young lists in the AFL?

[rick James]

Gotta be close.

Both teams have been playing with an exuberance you only get from having a slew of youngsters all busting their gut to cement a spot. It would be foolish to suggest these teams actually rely on their youngsters to win games, but have a look at the names of some of the young guns playing tomorrow night:

Raines, Polo, Deledio, Schultz, McLean, Bate, Sylvia, Dunn, Bartram, Johnson. . . and more.

Regardless of results, at the very least I predict we'll see some very exciting young players going in hard for the footy with little regard for their safety.

Apologies to Brisbane who certainly have a great batch of youngin's comin' through as well.

 

[lewiy]

bring on friday night!

both sides have youngsters that possess the ability and are not afraid to play with confidence or even a hint of arrogance

Looking forward to the game and thankful I don't have to watch Essendon again on Friday night football.

Richmond's best players are older too, doesn't detract from the younger players at all. People just always assume to have good youngsters you have to be a crap team.

Every clubs best players are older:

Richo, Brown, Johnson, Kellaway, J Bowden, Simmonds, Gaspar,

 

[wires on fire.]

gaspar...haha.

ok then, well richmond have better young players in my opinion.

 

[Bentleigh]

gaspar...haha.

Been All Australian a few times, no?

Thanks to his knee injuries he is not in the class of a Scarlett or Rutten anymore but at his best was a pretty handy footballer. Still offers alot in that full back postion.

Is like gold for a Thurfeild or McGaune type to learn from.

ok then, well richmond have better young players in my opinion.

Can't argue with that.

Is that the one where your 2004 no 5 pick wants to leave?

 

[MadDawg]

Is that the one where your 2004 no4 pick wants to leave?

your right the 2004 no 4 pick is hopeless and nobody should have drafted him and any team he plays for would have to be a rabble.

Tambo is more than happy where he is

 

[itsintheblood]

your right the 2004 no 4 pick is hopeless and nobody should have drafted him and any team he plays for would have to be a rabble.

So that would make the number 5 pick even worse then for chasing money when he's achieved diddly squat.

 

[SCRAY72]

I thought St.Kilda had the best young list. No, no,its Hawthorn,no the Dogs, oh sh*t no its Geelong,West Coast,Adelaide,Port, I give up, I don't know anymore.

Catnip... I could not agree with you more! I'm so sick of watching Essendon ruining Friday nights for all.

 

[Hawkk]

Hawthorn would have a right to argue that claim.

 

[saintsrule]

Melbourne has the fourth oldest list after Adelaide, Saints and Freo. And they have the most players of all teams aged 25+. They have 18 as opposed to Richmond's 12. It is a fallacy that Melbourne are a young team.
