Geelong have 4 players or something in the oldest 22 in the league Richmond have none.Is that a fact?
Last night Geelong:
-7 players 30+ years old (2 locks for best 23 missing: 1 likely replaces Tuohy)
-10 players 24-28 years old (1 lock for best 23 missing: replaces Parfitt)
-6 players 18-23 years old (1 lock for best 23 missing: replaces Knevitt or Mullin)
Richmond tomorrow:
-6 players 30+ years old: (2 locks for best 23 missing: none replace a 30+)
-8 players 24-29 years old: (3 locks for best 23 missing: 1 replaces Miller, 2 replace kids)
-9 players 18-23 years old: (2 locks for best 23 missing: replace other kids)
So we have an extra lock in our best 23 from our players in their 30s. Due to injuries for both clubs we are still playing one more 30+ than Richmond. Then Richmond has more injuries to the players in their prime years currently, so they are forced to play a few more kids.
We both have 11 locks for best 22 for players in their prime years and we both have 6 players in the best 23 that come from the 18-23 year olds. You are going with 9 because of injuries.
So I have to ask you...is one a LOT?
And those players are still some of Geelong's best players.
Where our older players are usually not our best players.
