On what planet does a 26 year old inside midfielder have 6-8 years left in the game?
You'd be lucky to get half that
since when does it say that a class athlete and player cannot play at 32,33, 34...?
32 year olds are not over the hill, look at richo , harvey.....
Any how many of them are inside midfielders who are already showing signs of injury like Kerr is. Can't compare them to kpps and outside mids. Plus Harvey is a freak of nature, that's not the standard.
How about Michael Voss, the best in the business, turned 31 at the end of his last year. Mark Ricciuto, he was finished as a midfielder and extended his career as a forward at 31 for only one year before his body gave in. Kane Johnson is a good example too, he's almost finished and he just turned 30. The toll they put on their body by being at the bottom of the pack every game shortens careers compared to other players. Just have a look at what it did to Coughlan.
Kerr is exactly this type, he's had a large workload for someone so young and it will take its toll, he'd be looking at retirement close to 2011 which is when we are meant to achieve the right balance on our list.
Seriously, get your head around it.
