Young Hollands will be better for the year's experience, plus a first real pre-season.
If they don't escape the 2nd year blues it's no big deal, it happens to 99.5% of players.
If the do then you need to take note because they are the exceptions and you can count the exceptions on one hand, a player like Walsh being one of them. Others that have escaped it include Judd, Martin and Selwood, which by definition means it's not very common.
