The reason Carlton have been a struggling football club for the last 20 years, is because we look too much at what blokes don't do, rather than what they can and will do.
There is almost nothing wrong with Rowe's game. He has a role, he plays it week in and out to the best of his abilities.
He doesn't get a game because there isnt a better alternative. He beat out and out lasted Jamison who's body let him down, for the last few years. He has battled adversity to get to where he is now. Went from Sydney to Norwood and took the long hard road back to AFL footy.
Rowe will be superceded in time. Not because he is found wanting, but someone will beat him out of the side, and there is no shame in that, but he will make players earn that spot irrespective of relative quality. more talented players have come through Carlton and been found wanting, and its about time we celebrate attitude over ability because thats the only way we are going to get anywhere as a footy club.
