Rd 2: Carlton vs. Sydney: Post Game Passion

[ItsOurTime]

I actually think our problem is that we do not have dominant key position players. We have Jamison down back who is competitive but is past his best and Casboult up forward who is problematic. Our key position players may beat their opponents, or reduce their effect on the game, but they do not dominate the games. Weitering Curnow, Plowman, McKay, Silvagni, Glass-McClasken could all be part of the future solution to this issue. You will be surprised how good our running players will be come if we developed a good spine.

I dont necessarily agree with this entire post but this is a key issue for our club. I am wary because I remember seeing a first year Murphy getting the poo smashed out of him until Copeland flung him and busted his shoulder up.

Murphy got up and tried to tackle him, causing a throw in while out numbered,i believe, before limping off - his season over. I thought  this kid will be up there with our best leaders, which hasnt quite panned out.

So while it's exciting seeing these kids we have to remember that there is a long way to go and their leadership qualities need to be nurtured as much as their footy skills.
