Stars on the wane in 2018

Westhoff has looked 32 for close to a decade ago with his early 80’s Dad beard. Nowadays everyone’s got one or stubble.

You’re right about J Kennedy slipping. He slipped from Sydney’s top three to finish a lowly fourth in their BnF for the first time since joining them. L Franklin only did slightly better by finishing equal second. Was probably burdened by winning the Coleman medal.

The only thing that will prevent either of those two from maintaining a consistently high standard of performance is injury. Anyone who thinks otherwise could possibly have sh*t for brains.

If he played in the cats team he’d have commentators licking his ring like they do with selwood, yet he plays for the dees and gets completely overlooked everywhere. Deserves better

Pretty sure he was talking about Kennedy from WC

I can’t see franklin or kennedy from the swans slowing down anytime soon

Top players peak and sustain a lower level for 4 to 5 years, but that level can be adequate to play in the best 22.

But older players are usually cooked by the time they get to 33.

Dont expect kennedy of sydney to dominate us indefinitely. He will be on the decline by the end of 2018.

But is that soon enough, and who will replace him?
