Upset?Scott coaching beautifully and if you can make a final and win one he could be right but that gif was made for Pie supporters.
Let's use Collingwood as the most recent common opponent.Please do go on. I'm all ears.
Just exactly how is my analysis incorrect?
I replied to a quote stating that Carlton are much more mature. How can this be measured? I chose average age.
I'm also reading everywhere that Essendon are a young team. That's blatantly false as they're in the top half of the league age-wise in most cases top third.

And Essendon were on top of the world?We were putrid at that time and kicked 6.16.
I wouldn't use that as a gauge for anything.
Both teams look to have improved since then.
How'd that guaranteed 80k v Melbourne go?You can't skew an average.
He is playing, so in it goes
Assuming said draftee is 19 it’d move by 16/23, more like 0.7Even if he was replaced with a draftee the average age would only change by around 0.3

Comparing wins/losses against the same sides doesn't really translate into anything meaningful. I never mentioned or compared them to Blues. I was simply calling for caution about overreacting based off one win. I know that's just par for the course around here and in the media, where GF faves change week to week depending on who beats who(m?). I've stated that GWS was a good win, but this year it seems like anyone in the top 14 is capable of beating anyone on any given week.They beat GWS without Coniglio and Sam Taylor. We beat a near full strength GWS.
Carlton beat GWS without Coniglio and Taylor by 19.
Essendon beat them near full-strength by 20.
Carlton lost to Adelaide at home. Essendon beat Adelaide away the next week.
Essendon drew to Collingwood and smashed their midfield. Carlton lost to Collingwood the next week.
And we weren't really smashed by Sydney. In fact, we smashed their midfield, but they are obviously premiership contenders for a reason. We are also a better team now than we were in the first couple of rounds.
I agree that we have a long way to go given what happened last year, but let's be honest. Carlton and Essendon have been pretty even based on form this year.
That's fair I guess, but allowing a team to score 131 is never good (same as us allowing 118 against Cats).i don't disagree with the general message but thumped by Swans?
what?
we lost 101-131.............
Carlton are definitely closer to a premiership given each respective list profile and the fact that Carlton have proven themselves in finals.Comparing wins/losses against the same sides doesn't really translate into anything meaningful.

A few result swaps and the ladder would be completely opposite for those 14 sides.
Based on last year's and this year's results, you'd have to say Blues are closer.
Based on this year only, it's harder to separate.
Blues are scratching out some wins while playing far from their best and have some good cattle still to come back in.
Dons seem to be playing better footy at the moment, but I haven't seen many of their games so far and I'm not sure what your injuries are like, or if there's likely to be any areas of improvement?
Our match up in a few weeks should be a good one, but I won't be basing who the better team is on which side wins.

It was 6th vs 14th at the time. We dropped to 15th after the loss.And Essendon were on top of the world?
I'm just pointing out it's not unheard of for our defenders to hold Harry.
Yeah I went and did that as well.What do the average games played say? Bearing in mind Goldstein would skew that a lot too?
Interesting. This is Bigfooty though where it’s always better to be young than good so I figure it’s better to be you guysYeah I went and did that as well.
It really backs my points up more than I thought it would.
There's only 2 games (Swans and Pies)where Essendon are the least experienced team in said game.
The least experienced team was in round two and since then they've been entrenched in the top 5 most experienced week in, week out.
As this is a Bombers/Blues thread, it's worth mentioning there hasn't been a single weekend, when both teams have played, that Carlton have run out with the more experienced squad. The most games our lads have run out with totals 2132 against North.
The least the Bombers have trotted out was in Round 2 with 2278 at the SCG.

I think there's a place for good as well.Interesting. This is Bigfooty though where it’s always better to be young than good so I figure it’s better to be you guys
Todd Goldstein alone is 324 so of course our average is out of whack. 244. If we rest he and Heppell for one game, that's 568 games experience wiped.Yeah I went and did that as well.

It'll fall on deaf earsTodd Goldstein alone is 324 so of course our average is out of whack. 244. If we rest he and Heppell for one game, that's 568 games experience wiped.
Everyone gets it, but while they’re playing the average is the average.Todd Goldstein alone is 324 so of course our average is out of whack. 244. If we rest he and Heppell for one game, that's 568 games experience wiped.
The point is I said Carlton's core is more experienced than ours. Goldstein and Heppell aren't our core players, which is the point of my original response.Everyone gets it, but while they’re playing the average is the average.
I reckon Goldstein is integral right now, especially considering the work being in the middle. You guys cannot afford for him to miss any length of time.The point is I said Carlton's core is more experienced than ours. Goldstein and Heppell aren't are core players, which is the point of my original response.
Upset?
