We Are Young

[TigerPower]

We have a young list, and we on the bottom, and we have heard so many people say they will develop and we will charge for a p'ship in 2011. If our so called young guns were any good and had potential we would be playing finals footy guys. LOOK at the list of collingwood/hawthorn and they have experienced players/young players. Youth is not an excuse, we suck atm. But with some top draft picks we could turn it around next year hopefully.

You make some terrific points. I mean Collingwood an hawthorn average about 6 or 7 players per game that have less the 4 preseasons at AFL level where as we are averaging bout 13 or 14 players that have been on an AFL list for less the 4 preseasons.

You know what that adds up too?? It means we are playing over half a side that is physically under developed for AFL football. Where as these two teams are playing under a third of a side in the same boat.

What happens when you play kids, the run out of puff towards the end of games.We are competitive up to half time and even fuether in some games but then run out of steam.The kids will be right when they build up their endurance.
