A good base of players 23 and under and all contributing in different ways. You won't achieve much by having a team full of 18/19 year olds, you need to have a balance otherwise they won't develop. Bolts and the match committee have been spot on the last couple of weeks.

The average age of the list was 25yr 4mth versus collingwood's 24yr 10mth, so not a huge difference and definitely not an old list. As a comparison North fielded a side today that had an average age of 25yr 4mth and Adelaide's was 25yr 6mth.

Players against Collingwood that were 23 and under:
Patrick Cripps
Sam Docherty
Caleb Marchbank
Sam P-Seton
Nicholas Graham
Charlie Curnow
Tom Williamson
Lachlan Plowman
Jacob Weitering
Billie Smedts

Looks like he's aged

Very proud of the club and rapt for Bolts that his diligent work is getting rewards. It was fantastic to see us stand up after last weeks great win. Too often in recent years we would have watched us get run over and lose by 5. Was great to watch and see the amount of chat and marshaling all our players are doing. We have a future I haven't seen for 10 years. Marchbank!!! What a get. And Samo is going to be a joy to watch develop as is Charlie. And McKay is still yet to be unleashed. Get excited!

We/Sos knows this draft game. We just need to arm him with the picks and not trade them away.
Graham is a keeper. He is our good ordinary footballer who is better than most good ordinary football ers

This ones better!

Pert looks totally pissed as well!

Well they might still win the spoon Sedat. And that would be worth a celebration.
And btw, damn the Bulldogs for the last H&A round of 2015. You lost to @#$%&! Brisbane and we got the spoon for it.
