Average list age of the Tigers- trying the quick fix?

[Col.E.Kurtz]

To fill the long dark football winter before the draft I did a quick 'back of the envelope' calculation of how the average age of our list has changed after the trade period.

WE delisted 7guys aged: [Using football prospectus ages which are dated but still work for this analysis]
25,30 26,21,28,26,24 – average age 25.7

And have added 7 guys aged:
23,19,23,20 and will probably add 3x17 year olds in the draft. – average age 19.9

Basically the net effect is even after the other 33 players on our list age a year the average age on our list will drop by about 0.2 in 2008.

Conclusion: Not all evidence support the theory (admittedly I am one of the ones who said it) that the club is going for the quick fix.

Maybe someone who has an up to date age database could do a exact calculation of what our average age if they have the time.

One of the key questions/factors in concluding a reduction would be the average age "at what point". Jan 1, rnd 1, next birthday?

Nice work for the back of an envelope though, Kernel.

I'd be interested to know the average age at the start of the season after our list is finalised. We could still pick up some older players in the draft.

one of the things I haven't captured is how young our players are in the 'key' roles such as our midfield.

Our bets older players, Richo, Brown, Bowden don't play in the center of the ground. The core of our team is still very young.
