I think it also shows that our next rebuild is not too far away.

Brett Deledio and Ivan Maric are only a "depth players" and "won't be playing"

Lids will be 28 in April and Ivan will be 29 in January, they are 2 of our older players. Ditto Foley & Chaplin, reckon it's fair to say they will indeed be playing .... A lot  ;D

I'd worry if I was Carltons list manager. Jeezuz.

North would want to do something in the next couple of years. Could be horrifically entertaining watching the wheels fall off that little red wagon  8)

Most teams, the older players are the core of the team. We have potato for senior players.

Firstly, I never said the list was old. I actually don't think it is.

But...

I was only applying your logic not mine. You are the one who made the sweeping statement half our older players are "depth players that won't be playing". Clearly when 2 of them are 2 of our most important players it is obvious that your statement is not correct

But to take it further and to make the point clearer for you

Of the so called "older players" if you take

Lids
Maric
Newman
Chaplin
Houli
Grigg
Foley
Petterd

They are going to play more games than they miss

Not saying I agree as I would argue the only "locks" should be Lids & Maric.

but of the players I've listed they are going to get games. They got them this year when they weren't deserved not sure it's going to change in a hurry

So I think the argument can be made that your statement of "half our old players are depth players that wont't be playing" is not accurate
