Excluding youth players and keepers our squad's age profile is;
Hearfield 22
Manny 25
Ward 25
Lia 25
Toto 27
Lochhead 28
Bertos 28
North 28
Durante 28
Mac 28
Sigmund 29
Brown 29
Diego 30
Daniel 30
Ifill 31
Greeny 32
 
Average age 28.
Average age of Roar; 25
Average age of Adelaide; 26
 
I think we have too many players, who don't have natural speed to start with, getting towards the end of their careers. I know you can play well into your 30s if you look after yourself (Elliottt, (and hopefully Ifill) is a case in point) but they are better players i.e. being better than most enables you to lengthen your career. That doesn't apply to most of our squad.
 
I think we need to look hard at the players knocking 30 with a view to getting some fresher, younger (and more talented) legs in to the squad.
 
Just putting it out there.
