We've definitely looked more at youth in the last few off-seasons. Even when we've brought in players from other teams (Henry, Bruhn, even Stengle) they've been early 20s, and i think we've got a solid enough core of 25-and-unders.Have either club actually started their rebuilds yet?
Both sides set to finish in no mans land. Not good enough to contend. Not bad enough to get top draft picks.
I guess that's the cost of topping up one too many times.
Going to be brutal for both clubs.
Better get bad fast - Tasmania going to ruin the drafts in a few years.
So I think we're at least already in the 'transitional' phase where the old blokes are gradually giving way to the younger brigade.
