Pre game postulations: AFL 2021 Rd 9: Carlton vs Melbourne

[ElwoodBlues1]

Maybe there is a use by date on coalface mids...watched a bit of Nat Fyfe and his goal kicking exploits in particular and it was like Cripps MkII...he looked like an old man with gout trying to make contact with the ball and the years of carrying Freo look like they have done for him as well. He had more ball than Cripps but 2/3 of his possies were handballs and the run seems to have gone out of his legs too. The old Freo had 4  big bodied mids and were fearsome now its just Fyfe, his equally old mate Mundy and some kids along with no big Sandilands anymore to make life that much easier.
Its a position that needs refreshing more than most and having a group of players capable of sharing the workload...
Judd was another victim of burnout after leaving the mighty west coast midfield and doing it solo around the world with us...
