People also are looking at 'list age' the wrong way.
8th on list age sure but vast majority of those players in the older bracket were
Ellis (31)
Atkins (30)
Sexton (31)
Casboult (34)
Day (32)
Tsitas (29)
Farrar (28)
and all of them played in the VFL almost the entire year.
If you compare our first choice team we're still bottom 3 in the league.
Compare our average age vs these 'rebuilding' teams when we played them.
24.0 months vs North Melbourne 24.3 months
24.1 months vs Hawthorn 24.0 months
24.11 months vs West Cost 25.9 months
24.10 months vs Richmond 26.4 months
24.4 months vs St Kilda 26.2 months
we were younger each time. We have a lot of genuinely young players still running through our side that with development should make us very formidable hopefully starting from next season.
Continuing to get games into Graham, Rogers, Reid, Walters, Moyle, Uwland, Andrew, Humphrey etc is very important but it does drop out floor somewhat. hell even Rowell and Anderson are only 23.

Touk had a good season, but was a bit below his high standards.
Ballard is more of a surprise being in the top 10

Collins won the David Swallow. Players player award. Any other current players in the AFL have an award named after him?

this Voting system helps guys who missed games. Which is why I was originally thinking Bodhi and Mac were gonna be like 6th place at best
But yeah Rowell probably deserved a top 3 finish
From what?

Fair though. Ranking every player would be a harsh and honest review system. It also means a player is no longer “unlucky” to miss out on points because they were the “fourth best” player or something.
Every player could score a 5, or they could all get a 0 too.
So really, Collins only averaged like a 3 (68 points divided by 23 games, rounded up) which doesn’t seem so good when I put it like that…
