And I'm very happy to be enjoying the results !!
For sure, we don't know exactly how it has played out internally but the results speak for themselves.

Clearly the overall playing list has a purpose and steely resolve, as an elder statesmen, he would be looked to for onfield leadership and a cool head in a crisis.
It's more that the rest of the team can't rest on the laurels of Gibbs, Murphy, Cripps, Simpson, Docherty and Kreuzer. There are no passengers, the gameplan suits Gibbs and he's doing what comes naturally.

Ok, we've found the reason for the turnaround. You are now banned from forever watching anymore Carlton games...lol.

You don't need to watch every game to have an opinion, admittedly it helps but it is not compulsory. Right now, you have The Age, The Hun, Footy Classified, Talking Footy plus every footy site around the country discussing Gibbs' recent resurgence and wondering what the catalyst has been.

Very much maligned. If you're not top 10 player at the club you will be dropped - just ridiculous.
has had three below average years.. all the others have been extremely good. Do we forget the games where he defeated Goddard, Goodes etc when playing in the backline as 23 year old?
He was riddled with injury and form in 2012 + 2013 then played the whole of 2014 in the middle and was a star (best and fairest) 2015 was injury hit but this year so far he is in career best form as you would expect someone in their peak and will continue for another three years.

In 8 weeks, he has developed an 'in your face, elbow in the guts as I go past, be the first in when one of ours is under siege' attitude. A developing Hogde / Lewis attitude.
No coincidence that we are more aggressive across the board. Towards the ball, the opponent, the game in general.
Culture.

That's a fascinating picture - the 'Hodgification of Bryce' !

Winning, more importantly. Winners are grinners (and inevitably with a bit of swagger, a touch of arrogance).
Happens to us all.
