Rd 2: Carlton vs. Sydney: Post Game Passion

[townsendcalling]

Senior experienced blokes like Gibbs, Murphy, Everitt, Jamo, Simpson, Rowe et al should be taking games by the scruff of the neck and bringing the young kids with them. Not one of those blokes is capable of doing it. Murphy maybe if he rekindled some of the early career form. The rest, pfffft.

Rowe to me is the Tim Henman equivalent.  He has played more AFL games than I could ever dream of playing and good luck to him, but Henman was never going to be more than a quarter final winner in a Grand Slam tournament  because he simply wasn't good enough.  The Poms moaning non stop from 1998 - 2004 about him not reaching his potential etc....but he DID reach his potential.  Rowe is the same. What you see is what you get. He gives 100% and often reaches his potential, but unfortunately his potential is less than what many expect.

If there was someone better, he wouldn't have his place.
