Resolved Question: Hey - happy new year - and do you think the Cats can throw the too old, too slow tag yet?

Hi all. Hope everyone's safe and well after the Christmas new year period. Time to start up a new season yet? Membership signed up yesterday - let's do this! :-) Opening question - last year everyone wanted to declare us as too old and too slow, has beens etc etc. Of course that just gave the boys a little extra fire in the belly I reckon. This year I just checked the list ages of a few top clubs. If I've got it right, Geelong still have a few oldies like Scarlo, but 31 of the 46 seniors on the list are 25 or less. Those include guys like Varcoe, Selwood, Menzel, Christensen, Tomahawk and Trent West. It looks like Collingwood are just a little younger with (I think) 35 of 45 and Hawthorn are pretty similar with 30 out of 44. I'm not sure if I reading all the tables right because there are funny rules about who they include. Which club is the "too old, too slow" club we need to watch out for this year?... Read More »
