And who is responsible for building, improving and maintaining culture?
As just one example, look at the Fluffy Ducks. What they stand for; their culture is unmistakable. Newbies come in and lift to the standards expected. In some respects, the very antithesis of us.
The Swans spent 72 years in AFL/VFL no man's land, were basically on their knees for ages, and only survived because the AFL made a nice Faustian pact with them : move to Sydney or die. They have their stuff together now, but whether it's luck or design, who really knows ? It was an incredibly long road for them, and it may be for us as well. Who the hell knows what makes clubs successful ? The clubs themselves don't seem to, that's for sure.
