I love how (a) Coxy being a seriously limited player who lifts BIG TIME in finals, versus (b) Curnow having all the God-given talent in the world, but disappearing on the big stage, is (c) the perfect microcosm of Collingwood vs Carlton in the 21st century.
This. It goes to character and culture. Carlton is a club which has historically lacked integrity; a hollowed-out shell of a club which built success on cheating and then boasted about it.
I'm sure Curnow is a very nice young man, but when he landed at Carlton, he caught the infection.
