As i said before, i think the key is this.
Team rules can be made, followed and enforced no matter what era you come from. The rules may change, but the meaning behind them remains the same.
Thats all sellers wants. Players demanding success from their teammates and ensuring it comes.
Agree with the sentiment but we need to look forward and not dwell too much on past glories which were achieved when times were a lot different. The principles may well be the same but the context and all important details are not - let's put the past in the past and look forward to what we need to do in the now. Sellers means well but he will not get us where we need to be today, at the general level what he's saying is pretty much "motherhood".
There are plenty of would be advisers who can dispense the "what we need" type of advice but fall short when it comes to the all important "How" part.

until there's relentless bullicking at every contest , hard tackling, players backing others in the contest, clean skills by foot and hand, fast and fearless breaking of lines, scoreboard impact , this club is nothing....it has been nothing for over a decade.
Reality is, many of this lot play for contracts. Thats where my loyalty ends. Everybody is on the table to achieve the aforementioned. You don't get a say where either

Filthy rich tend to think that you can just go out and buy whatever you want and solve your problems that way. Hasn't worked like that in the AFL for some years now - wonder when the penny will drop for them. The rest of the membership of course aren't filthy rich.......just effin' filthy!!
