Did i hear Roos and co on the couch last night say that their culture is due in part to hard work of Leading Teams?
..yup, but that program isn't for everyone.. ..plenty have used it to their advantage, swans and cats as examples.. ..others not so well, e.g bulldogs.. ..we've fallen somewhere in the middle..
They live in a city where no one knows who they are - They walk down the street and no one stares at them , they don't treat them like rock stars - So basically they haven't got their heads so far up their own arses like the players in Victoria.
It is easy to create a good environment and good culture when the players are not up themselves and maybe in that sort of place a program like leading teams might work and be successful. But if a player gets reprimanded by his team mates in melbourne he only has to walk out the gates of the club and he will have any one of a thousand people telling him how wonderful he is .
Sydney's culture is brought about by where they live. and if you want another example of this have a look at the Melbourne Storm

So, how did Collingwood win the 2010 flag, and Geelong the 07, 09, 11 flags, and Hawthorn the 08 flag, and WCE the 06 flag? I don't hold with yer detective work there. It sounded ok, but there's a lot more to it than that.
Just an anecdote. I have a mate who plays for a team that's won a flag in the last few years. Wherever he goes, he's recognised. Last year a bunch of us went to a pub in Port Melbourne for a pre-Christmas lunch. As we walked through, every single head turned - it was eerie; everyone pointed and whispered. And he isn't even such a high profile player. Yes they live in a bubble. Yet the following year, they won the flag.
Geelong and pies have a lot more talent on their lists
Sydney turns spuds and duds into good footballers if sydney were playing out of lake oval they would struggle to make the eight
