There's only a handful of ageing stars in this team with probably a more even spread across the team. Another query is whether Hamling would be up for full-back by then. Having a free agent Dangerfield by then would be nice, but he's like Boak and will be Adelaide's next captain. That's my take on it, but 18 months is a long time in football, let alone 1 week!
Fair assessment. And I know you have slanted it to prove your point but id suspect that we do need (some how) to find a player or two that is like Selwood was. A first year wonder kid. I suppose considering injuries , if we could draft with the knowledge if immediate needs , that a Dunstan would be that sort of player.I sort agree with your synopsis , although I tend to think a players most productive years are 21-30 , with game tally of about 50 to 200.
On your side , my guess is JK will be in it as early as next year , and there is always names that go somehow and come somehow. To me Varcoe is a good chance to be gone , Mackie as well.
