After watching the first few rounds of the season and throughout the history of the game we see so many great players go around for another season when they should not of and it is sad.
The biggest names this season are Browny for the Lions and Jake King. Browny has been an out and out champion of the game but gee he looked lost last week and it is not good to see the public decline of great players out there. Jake King also cannot get near the pill and the game seems past these players right now.
Carlton also had this with Mick Martin when we recruited him and is it better for players to admit to themselves they are declining at a rapid rate and no longer serviceable or does pride kick in preventing such decisions being made which then takes up a spot on a list and a chance to elevate a kid.
It is such a fine line and like walking on a sword for all involved especially the supporters as we see champions out there living on past glory days when they should not be.
Any other players come to mind???
