yes some good points made regarding todays game v past games but I didnt mean going the biff the way it used to be before videos and extra scrutiny helped to clean up behind the play incidents coupled with more awarness of a persons safety Different times, different era, altogether in footy and life in general.More about wrenching that perception of Carlton that we are a little predictable or soft back a notch Last nights game got me reflecting on this as going through other teams I can see certain players that I would call MODERN day tough They can influence and shift a game not when things are rosy and winning but when fighting to get back into a game and also with that air of unpredictability perhaps that makes opponents not take things for granted.Our captain is a geniunely tough footballer on a CONSISTENT basis Would just love to see a couple more,that show the seeds of that at junior level and not just passing certain athletic tests. I watch a lot of local football and enjoy the contests and passion that the players show and genuine commitment on a part time basis.Currently when I watch the baggers at this time I HOPE for a switched on Carlton but used to expect it every match I think we have stepped up in so many areas off the field in the last few years and continue to grow but just on field it feels like here we go again Just want to see more consistent care and passion for the jumper? thanks for listening people i dont post much but love to read your opinions during the good and bad weeks J
