I like the mix of mature players and up and coming leaders and I'd like to see that continue. However, our poor drafting has skewed our age demographics and, [b]unless we bring in more mature aged recruits, we may run out of older leaders.[/b]
I think one of the major roles of the more mature older leaders will certainly be to support and assist the emerging leaders. As those younger guys get more experienced and mature - hopefully this year - the need for the older guys should reduce. Another younger/emerging leader or two may then be added to the group to replace them I guess and a cycle established for the supply of future leadership of the club. All speculation of course but it'll be interesting.
Reality always wins in the end.
