Which team's future (4 years) is looking the brightest?

What age are players no longer considered yoof?

I think turning 23 in 2017 or younger is a reasonable call. I was probably a touch harsh saying the Tigers have nothing to be excited about as they have an armada of really promising small forwards, but it isn't anywhere near that of some other clubs.

I think we do have something to be excited about. Rioli, Nankervis, Vlastuin, Bolton, Graham, etc but you're absolutely spot on regarding where we sit in comparison to other clubs. A long way off the likes of GWS, Melbourne, Dogs etc.

Said by a Melbourne supporter who has been talking about kids for a decade. The names have just changed from Gysberts, Toumpas ect to the new kids.

Could argue he's more than qualified to make the comment he did in that case.

23 for me

everyone always has the chance to improve your own form!

Would have to be Geelong. GWS will continue to be eternally overrated as will Melbourne.

Our list is only getting stronger and we won't lose anymore players besides Taylor and Ablett in that time frame.

Impossible to say, too many variables; injuries, trades, draft picks, loss of form, coaching changes, luck. Fans spend too much time worrying about how teams will be in 5 years time, instead of concentrating on now.

Yup. I think back to 2004-05 with the Saints and Cats. The Saints looked to have a clear edge with their young talent, but they won nothing and the Cats ended up with 3 flags.
