One was when Curnow kicked a goal after a good bit of lead-up (chase and kick) from McKay.
As McKay came to embrace him Curnow pointed at him as if to say this is the bloke responsible for that goal.
The other was when Cripps made a bad blue and Jack gave him a quick talking and encouragement probably saying something along the lines of.... "Don't worry lets, get on with it."
We used to worry about leadership.
We don't need to worry anymore.
We have it on every line.
I think that Vossy’s “How can I be a better teammate?” mantra has made a significant difference.
The raw material was there, it just needed a coach who knows how to build team culture.
