Because you need a functional measure, and 21 seemed good, because a player is often in their 3rd year by then, and should be physically ready for AFL.You can only play the players you draft? Why would you look at it by players under 21, as if guys who are older than 21 but younger than 25 are old?
Garner will get his shot. Most likely for Byrne-Jones who would be on his last chance this week.
21-26 is an age bracket where players are coming into their own and often peaking. Sometimes a co-captain.
27 is as good as any point to measure future decline. You notice how all the guys on that list, apart from Boak who got a late-career slump out of the way early, have either been with long term injuries or had indifferent form in this year? And aren't at career peaks? WEIRD HUH.
Saying "Oh, 75% of the 2016 draft is playing, can't play any more from that one" is insane, Janus.
If you are playing most of the younger players on your list because they are better, that is 100% fine.
If you are playing older players, when they are in bad form and off a long injury LIKE BROADBENT, ahead of younger players LIKE GARNER because of `experience' THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE IN SPADES (not skill, ability, form, or anything else), you're ****ed.
