400 games

Lucky I didn't start a thread about recruiting policies.

Yeah funny that, but MBs Hilton phobia means the topic gets arun in every thread.

BTW maybe Richo will give it a nudge playing an Alistair Lynch type role into his late 30's.  Hopefully he can bag 3 flags in his 30s like Lynchy too!!

Bartlett was 36 when he played his 400th, how old was Tuck? 37? 38?
Craig Bradley retired at 39 with how many games? 370-something?

How many players play to that age these days?
How many players remain as injury-free these days as those blokes did?

I highly doubt anyone will ever get there again. Deledio appears to be a Bradley-like player and has started his AFL career 5 years earlier age-wise, so he may be a chance, but don't they burn out anyway?

In ten years time the average retirement age would probably be around 27.
