Here are the ages of some key players in 2020.
Fyfe 29, Stephen Hill 30, Walters 29, Brad Hill 28, Taberner 27, Luke Ryan 25, Neale 26, Connor Blakely 25, Sandilands 37 (??) Mundy 35(??) Cerra 20 Brayshaw 20 Giro 20, Banfield 21, Wilson 27, Logue 24, Apeness 26, Darcy 22, Cox 21, Dixon 20, A Pearce 25 Joel Hamling 25.
So, what does all this have to do with the price of tea in china?
Our key defenders: Hamling and Pearce, will be at the perfect age and experience.
Our key forwards: Taberner, Apeness, Cox, Dixon, will have more experience and are at the perfect age.
Our small forwards: Walters, Matera, will still be in their prime.
Our elite midfielders: Fyfe, Walters, Neale, Blakely - will still be in their prime.
Our emerging midfielders: Cerra, Brayshaw, Banfield, Giro - will have another 50 games of experience under their belt.
The only question mark is in our ruck - Sandi - who is too old.
My 2 bobs worth: Forget recruiting McGovern, Hogan or any other high profile player. Keep this list for 2 years and back them in, then draft a really good mature age ruck man as cover for Darcy in 2019.
I reckon we only have a 2 year window but this list has the potential to go all the way in 2020/2021 ladies and gentlemen!
