Debate re young Bell. I have been amazed that he is at best borderline best 22 with most of the opinions posted here. Have to agree with Windhover. Came from a mile back in 2012 to show great promise and a point of difference for our midfield. Our poorer performances were almost all attributed to our "star studded" midfield being outmuscled...even "monstered". Juddy has been worked and tagged in to almost mediocrity. Murph and Carrots are both A Grade mids, but do not have the physical prescence to dominate a strong opposition. Robbo's kamikaze attack on the ball is often unstructured. Many in our classy midfield are undersized. Natural improvement from more time in "the system", his imposing size and stamina and the ability to find the ball, get his hands free, block and also tag more than offset his sometimes untidy disposal by foot. Decision making will be largely "programmed" in with the Malthouse coaching disciplines, as opposed to the "Ratten rush".
So much competition for spots, so many talking up Yarran and Lucas, even Garlett to go through the midfield. So many are so misguided, we need size and strength to complement our "stars" (and to lengthen Juddy's career). If we rotate some new names through the midfield, we need the physical likes of Bell, Robbo, Tuohy and Walker, with a splash of "outside" from Yarran and the like.
Not going to compare Bell to Andrew Carrazzo, and I don't think that was what was being done. I just can't see Mick passing up on the starch he offers to our mids. If C Judd's body is not already spent, the injection (topical reference) of Tommy Bell and a couple more big bodies could see him return to his exalted status in the game. No more stop Judd....stop Carlton.................. please.
Looking for the KEY to a flag, might just be as simple as ringing the BELL.
