Judd got smashed by the opposition with little support but being the superstar he was, he was able to impact on games irregardless. Now Murphy and Gibbs find themselves the two most targeted by opposition coaches yet they still mange to have an impact. Murphy is killing all comers in the JP medal. A commentator made the remark a while ago that he had emerged from Judds shadow and was now a true leader in his own right.
Dangerfield isn't the greatest set shot for goal.
Gibbs plays the game in a manner that could be viewed as indolent, where in fact he works his backside off. He has the ability to create play and reads the game as good as anyone. As for effort, who can forget Simmo's 250th where he spewed at the end of the game.
Both these guys played with injuries (and Cripps isn't 100%) in a team with 7 teenagers, on a ground most had never played on against a team in red hot form. Kreuzers absence should not be understated either.
X2. (I wonder how my old mate Spanner would have assessed Craig Bradley's career??)
