Laid out what the best 24 could look like at the start of the 2026 season by age, disregarding future draftees of course.
In this scenario I see Hobbs being traded and Stringer retiring. Hayes a smokey if Reid can't get stronger. Swap either Menzie/J.Davey. Not sure what to do with Wright.
Otherwise I feel like our spine would be pretty set.

I don’t mind that team except for the full forward line.
Davey Jones and Menzie is barely AFL standard and opposition defenders would have a picnic against them
