It appears the youngsters will take abit more time to get games in early and the game is getting tougher to survive in. As the comp keeps getting stronger and stronger players will need to be at the top of their game to last.Guys like Boomer don't come around very often and even if they do in the future the landscape is changing. I think Buddy will be the last player to kick 1000 goals.*cough*Hogan*cough*No shot, the guy has already missed one season due to injury. He better pick up the pace, currently he needs to play 442 more games to reach 1000

He better pick up the pace, currently he needs to play 442 more games to reach 1000Was only meant to be tongue in cheek but since you took it seriously:Buddy only kicked 52 in his first 2 seasons. Hogan should go close to that this yearHe is still only 20 and Melbourne is still shower, so I have no doubt that he will pick up the pace in the years to comeObviously it's not going to be easy and it's a hell of a lot of pressure for a young player, but I wouldn't say it's unfeasible
Brad Scott says Boomer can play on, now, that's big of him. How about showing Boomer a little respect Mr. Scott.

How about showing Boomer a little respect Mr. Scott.Scott is all about everyone having to earn their spot in a team and nothing is for granted. He would treat everyone in the same respect, Boomer needs to earn his spot. We all know he will but it won't be given to him.

Boomer don't owe nothing to the Kangas after being their best player for the past 20 odd seasons and giving his all. The game may of gone past this old stager (me ) but there's no flowering respect any more. If Boomer thinks he can contribute to the team, sign the flowerer up.

I dont think any preferential treatment is needed just no disadvantage due to age. As long as they arent holding him back because of his age he will earn a spot. Just like Andrew Swallow and Jack Ziebell will.
