Pretty honest feedback at the meeting today. New blokes, who have come from different cultures had plenty to say.
If players from clubs like GWS and Gold Coast...clubs with the history of a three minute egg...are lecturing our blokes about culture we have a problem.
Hopefully it was someone like Fogarty who was most vocal.
These types of feedbacks can be constructive but it requires a fair degree of 'give' from the players receiving the message otherwise it can cause resentment and division.
I'm not sure we have a playing group who are all on the same page.
That's understandable given the turnover and additions that have taken place in recent years.
Hopefully that rectifies itself in the months ahead.
I'm also wondering whether at the end of this season it wouldn't be a good idea to have a change from the Cripps/Docherty to a Walsh/Weitering (not in a co-captain, but a Captain/ VC situation).
That sets us up for a change to a new and possibly 10 year+ stability in leadership.
That's one element in a culture change.
