I'm genuinely surprised at how quickly the game has gone past Gibbs, Walker, and Murphy.
Sometime in the last 10 years 'outside' players became extinct. Nowadays, there is no such thing as an outside player. The pressure is too relentless and all pervasive.
Bell and Cripps were shining lights today. Mind you, it's mid-winter northern hemisphere dark at the moment at CFC. The game has passed by our highest paid players, but the real worry is that we've gone from Australia's most successful sporting team to a club on the brink in only 15 years.
I used to laugh at posts predicting the demise of Carlton. Now I'm not so sure.
