Look at our list and it's age profile and we are in the window. If we stay relatively injury free and don't make finals with a minimum win one this year is a failure
All bar two games we have fielded a younger and less experienced team this year than our opposition
the games we didn't was WC and Crows games even then we were only plus 6.2 games and plus 3.7 games
the side we put out on friday night had an average of 24.4 games less experience than the Lions and if Zorko and Rich had of played it would have been worse
We have 4 players with more than 150 games - ED Cripps Saad and now Doc
Brisbane had 7 - Collingwood played 8 - Geelong 9 Melbourne 8
We had 7 players with less than 50 games under their belt on Friday night
Now when it comes to knocking our team - I am the chief Knocker of the world but we do not have the age and experience profile to match it with the best at the moment
Fair points but I still believe we have the players and aren't playing near our potential.
If we dropped Hollands Motlop Cincotta Kemp Honey and replaced with Williams Owies Cottrell Martin & Plowman how does our profile look? Not to mention Cowan who has played most games
If Williams Martin Cotrell and Owies were all fit and firing maybe we wouldn't be having this conversation
Hope not but I stll believe the way we are trying to play is the biggest issue
We are trying something different.
Everyone seems to say go back to how ww played 1st half of last year.
That style of play resulted in us missing the finals.
Obviously what they are doing now is not working but maybe Voss knows we are not going to challenge this year and he is adding another layer.
A lot is made of our turnovers and rightly so.
But every team turns it over and when you have the ball significantly more than the opposition your odds of turnovers increases.
I'm not here to defend Voss or any one at the club. But we are not ready we are far from it.
It is expectations verse outcomes and right now our level of expectations is far in advance of what they are capable of.
