Dustin Fletcher will make the top 20 oldest players of all time this year but he won't beat Paul Salmon, falls short by a hundred odd days..
I wouldn't think there'd be too many times in the past where a player is older than a non-playing coach.
What are recent examples of a player being older than his own coach?
Richo/Rawlings?

2012 will be Fletcher's fourth season as the AFL's oldest player. The others who've held this title for four seasons are Robert Harvey, Craig Bradley, Michael Tuck, Kevin Murray, Ted Whitten and Charlie Forbes. Forbes was the oldest in 1898 and 1900-02, but was pipped in 1899 by Joe Kerrigan's solitary appearance.
I will miss the "old boy" when he goes, when he is playing my team The Swans, I am always saying "bloody Fletcher"... yes I will miss those long arms and legs. Very good player. Felt the same about Richo for Richmond "bloody Richo", even the Richmond supporters said it..lol. Great blokes.
Richo didn't play under Rawlings.
I think his official coaching role this year is a strong indication it might be his last go at it this year.
Geez I'll miss him; I'm over thirty years old and only have those vague, kid memories of when he wasn't playing.
He was still on the list at the time though.
