If you take a bunch of privileged rich kids, stick them in a prison with hardened criminals. Will they come out of it the same?
The environment of the club is having a detrimental effect on our players, staff and definitely the members/supporters.
Melbourne were tanking playing kids and everyone knew it....including the players. It bred a bad culture. A losing culture. Some of these kids wanted out as a result. Tom Scully being your #1 on that list! Roos is still trying to change that. No matter how many high draft picks they get, they are still trying to shake their past.
What we want to build or rebuild is our determination/confidence/integrity as much as our playing list. We need to rebuild our culture. Play players who play for the team. Get some wins. Introduce kids sparingly, be careful not to overload them (remember Kreuzer?) but reward effort!
Rebuilding is more than getting games into some kids.
Well said.
