My views confirmed over the weekend with feedback from a well respected CEO whom MM had previously worked for. Said that Mick will live and die by the culture he builds. Key principle is to seek young men of great character.
I think further re- enforced by some our de-listings this year and the style of recruits being brought in.
In the end he will live and die by games success. However, I'm comfortable in the knowledge that we are building a culture that will be far superior to the mediocrity we have accommodated since the beginning of the century.
We've been building a list since the penalties in 2002. Did we miss top 4 because of a lack of talent with all those high picks? Was it because of bad off field culture? Was it the coaching?
It was something, perhaps a combo of things. I've always had my doubts about the character of a lot of our players. The talent was there. I saw laziness and a lack of discipline on the field. I heard of players off field issues. I saw some average skill executions that cost us.
I'm sure that character of players is a vital piece of the puzzle to win a flag. Step in the right direction.
Perhaps you should question the character of our current coach and his motives first then question who and what he is trying to teach?
Hinckley built a culture over one preseason from a bunch of spooners and made finals in his first year then a kick to get in the big one against the eventual winners the next.
Has no one conveyed your theory to the port rejects and the rookie coach?
11 wins equalled Rattens sacked year followed by 7 ½ wins last year, certainly going backwards.
Don’t worry great draw coming up I’m sure malthouse will return us to the great heights of his predecessors win/loss ratio.
It is time for the forward step now after taking the same group backward, oui.
