    is this the most inexperienced team

    I cant remeber a least experienced team, does any one know avergae games?
    unly 5-6 players with 50 games +

    Very disappointing that our first round picks from 07-08-09 are playing VFL

    49 games ago we were winning a prelim at half time, only 3 players from that team playing.

    I think slowly we are going in the right direction again developing these youngsters but it will take another few years until we can become good again.

      The team that played against Richmond last season was even less experienced and less competitive on paper. Jong and Roberts played that game from memory, maybe even JJ and Talia (can't remember).

        12 players with less than 50 in that game. I think this week will be the most inexperienced.

            I guess those players just aren't good enough.

            At least we have drafted some clear talent last year in Stringer, Macrae, Hrovat, Hunter and Prudden.

            All are showing some good signs already.

              Amazing to think it was 49 games ago we were in a preliminary final, and in front no less.

              I guess it does emphasize that things can change quickly, for better or worse. It does feel like a few more years of pain are set to come though.

                  The scary and unfair part of all this is GC and GWS both took the cream of the crop from the drafts in the past 3 years. They also pillaged our club too. In theory we will be up and about at the same time as these 2 clubs trying to compete with all their stars.
