On the topic of retiring older players, below is a list of age when a player played his last game for Geelong since 1997, there has been 60 players who have played a game for the club being aged 29 year or old.
Note that Rohan and Menegola haven't played a game this year.
This puts into context, our clubs change is selection philosophy, the complaint of us keeping players around, and there relative age of some of our older recruits.
It is interesting to compare the ages of say Kelly, Corey to our Recruitment of Higgins and Smith.
It might be beneficial to look at it from a role prospective, to me the trend is that defenders, versatile and outside players tend to stick around longer.
