None of them have been nearly as consistent as Judd or Murphy (except maybe Jamison), have gone walkabouts numerous times this year when the going gets tough. I told you Carlton have improved, but still need a greater spread of dominant players to take the next step, am I wrong? Or are you guys flag favourites?

Let's face it. Coaches play their best players in the midfield. Midfielders dominate awards because they're the best palyers.
From the first 3 games of 2010 when Judd was suspended:
- 24 touches and 2 goals
- 34 touches and a goal
- 23 touches and 6 tackles.
So not much really. And this was at the stage where Murphy was not training for a 4 month period due to injury.
Judd helps bring our players who aren't great inside into the game. Murphy is more than capable of performing without Judd's help and whilst receiving Judd's tag.
See, what I want to know is how come all these fanboy Blues fans keep bleating about how wonderful their players are, rather than simply noting the big games their team has won?
It's a real mystery.

It's round 10 and we're sitting 4th on the ladder. What a shit effort hey.

All signs (albeit few) indicate he steps up to accommodate the absence.

..it would also suggest [backed up with coleman tally] that the hawks have an overabundance reliance upon Buddy.. ..and using your theory, not much below him..

Judd and Murph are both top 10 this season but wouldn't say top 2, there's so little between the top few players it would be impossible to put them in an order that everyone would agree on anyway.

How the hell did you come to this conclusion? So unless a team has every single player in the top of the coach's votes, they are too reliant on 1 or 2 players?

ergo, Collingwood supporters agree with the Coaches and agree that Judd & Murphy are the two best players in the AFL up to and including round 10.
In 2010 this was the standings after round 22:
Only 1 Collingwood player, they must be a one man team...
Only 1 Hawthorn player, they must be a one man team...
Only 1 Freo player... etc
Geelong on the other hand were a 3 man team.
After Round 10 in 2010:
Why do people get so hung up on all these awards?
Yes, this......the two man team that lost to the Cats by two points and only for shit goalkicking, lost the game. Can't wait to we have 22 contributors against the Cats....game will be over by 5 minute mark of the first quarter......
Which gives even more credence to the argument their the best two in the competition, given we sit 4th off their efforts.
They've clearly had better seasons than all those bar perhaps Pendles, so of course they'd be higher.
You're not seriously suggesting Martin is a better player than Boyd and Thompson at the moment?
I think what you can take out from this list is that Carlton have the best midfield duo going around atm. Will change for sure because players have up and down periods.
All bullshit anyway because if you did a comparison of KPP talls (CHB/CHF??), or other positions that dont suit Carlton followers, Carlton's are mid to bottom in those areas.
Anyway, back on this fanboy topic, which duo is better than Judd/Smurph...right now, no one. Pendles/Thomas being best challenger!
Selwood and Ablett need better partners!

Keep goin after those individual awards. That's nice.
Lol...it used to be just a reliance on Judd and now that Murphy is apart of that we have nothing else. You really are a biased flog when it comes to all things Carlton.
