Could be a case of "familiarity breeds contempt" or "you can't be a prophet in your own land" DJC. When we see NickNats or Cox or Tippets etc. it's often in a highlight segment on TV or in 3 games in a year.
That's because they take the big contested marks. When was the last time Kreuzer took a big critical mark where you thought 'Wow that was some mark'? I can think of one back in 2008 in his first year. The above mentioned players IMPACT games and as EB pointed out in an earlier post, Kreuzer doesn't.
And I agree, being Carlton we see the best and the worst compared to the others.
Have you ever had a bet riding on a non-Carlton match for quite a bit of dough? It's amazing how quick you can find faults in players you previously thought were invincible. When there's something riding on it the poor play stands out, as does the great stuff.
