Looking thrU the lists of the 2 recent AFL juggernauts, IMO they are on the precipice of a crevice.
The Cats have been looking stale over the last month, but is it just stale? Or are their bread & butter players getting past their use by date.
The Catters have 5 gun players over 30 Yrs, who'll be all washed up by end of 2016. And 10 Topline players over the age of 28 Yrs.

The Hawks have slightly more, 7 gun players over 30 Yrs winging it, & 9 Topline players older than 27Yrs. IMO they're perched on the cliff top.

IMO its the Rising Suns who are on the future threshold.
