Even Richmond have some real stars ageing but at least they’ve won 2 and should be in the picture for the next couple.

I reckon within 2-3 years there will be a real changing of the guard and Carlton are going to have a good run.

Port's oldest three players are their best players (Boak, Gray, Westhoff). North Melbourne in a similar position (Goldstein, Higgins, Tarrant).

West Coast don't have too many stars over 30, but their midfield's lack of pace and defensive pressure is already starting to cost them.

If West Coast are smart they will do what Richmond have been doing for several years, which is to draft young players with pace to compliment their aging core.
