Re Garlett, Robinson and Bootsma - lets be thankful we now have the sense to boot these guys from the club quicksmart . Who knows whether this would have been the case under Ratten? I think players are far more aware of the standards set re discipline and work ethic under Malthouse than previously - Garlett, Lucas even Waite were all talented but Mick wanted them to work harder and they wouldn't - know they are gone or on the verge of being gone. To me, at the very least , Malthouse has brought about a significant shift in imprinting on the players the required attitude to play senior football. Would anyone disagree?
Dooky, I'd like to think the players in the leadership group have stepped up notch and are setting improved standards for the others.
Gibbs and Murph stepped up this year for sure.
