In isolation it doesn't mean alot, but when you put this phenomemon together with Polson getting a 2 year contract extension on the back of 0 proven ability to play footy at the highest level, the only explanation I can come up with is that these blokes are doing everything possible to make something of themselves, whilst others are not, which earns them a game, (and in Polson's case, a contract).
It means we have blokes not applying themselves appropriately at Carlton.
This is why we have been this poor. Is that a coaching issue? Make up your own mind, but you can't motivate people if they are not the types to drive themselves. They will do whats easy rather than whats necessary.
Let's just say superficially, there seems to be a lack of integrity in our MC selections when guys playing well cannot get a game, and yet when they are struggling to get a touch they get the nod! I'm not going to make any accusations or draw conclusions about why this happens, but again superficially there seems to be a trending connection and pattern!
