Is age just a number? How your club's veterans are tracking

RICHMOND
Richmond is a comparatively young club in the veteran stakes. Four players – Shaun Grigg, Jack Riewoldt, Shane Edwards and Bachar Houli – will turn 31 this year, the oldest on the list.
Houli has had the most injury concerns in the past few years, missing nine matches in 2018 with a persistent groin injury and one with a calf complaint.
Riewoldt had a minor shoulder cleanout at the conclusion of the season and returned to training on time.
Grigg and Edwards – who, along with Houli, are out of contract at the end of the season – have had fairly straightforward pre-seasons.
The quartet all still have important roles in the side, with Edwards in particular in career-best form, coming off an All Australian blazer. Riewoldt is also the reigning Coleman medallist.

If Nick played till 34 I will back Jack to play till 40

Grigg and Houli's last season IMHO. Grigg looks to have bulked up in the upper body in the photos from training so he's either playing solely inside mid this year or we're persisting with him as 2nd ruck :-\.

Jack does not turn 31 until late October.
