Goodes' future

[Wolftone]

I guarantee our team will not be anywhere near the youngest in the league in 2015.

OK one of the youngest. With four young 19 year olds joining us our average age is 24.7 including rookies. Take out Goodsie 34, Shaw 33, ROK 33 & LRT 31 and that is a huge amount of age going next year. Possibly the next year Teddy 32 (in 2015), Mal 31, Pyke 31 all retiring in 2015. just a scenario but could happen and then our list will be quite young by 2016 unless we trade for older players.

In 2015 if all our veterans leave and we draft rather than trade out average age will be about 24,1. In 2016 if we draft instead of trading it will be even younger. But even if we trade our list is becoming younger every year due to retirements and the new policy of drafting youth to the club rather than depending on established players coming up here. In the last few years we have drafted very well and have a good list of young talented players.
