Interesting point.
On reflection, all our senior guys appear reserved and quiet in nature. Dawson, Fogarty, Laird, Crouch, Smith O'Brien might all be good fellas but not with a natural bigger and bolder personality.
Not sure about Tex but also looks the quiet type.
I am probably wrong with some of this but I can see the value of the big personality types around the club. Davis was renowned for this. Ned and Keays probably in a similar mold.
This stuff is peripheral in importance but having fun in what you do is an advantage. Particularly when times are tough onfield.
So over to all of you. Who is the most fun on our list?
Good leadership is all about figuring out what makes people tick and embracing and encouraging that. If being a bit over the top and playing to the crowd is what gets Rachele up and about and playing good footy then genuinely **** what anyone outside the four walls thinks.
It was a harmless joke made during a weekly radio segment. Then when the media piles on him rather than backing their man our “leaders” decide to pile on. FFS.
I get the idea that you might think he went over the top in the celebration but that’s the kind of conversation you would have internally.
And if Laird wants to get on his high horse about “what we’re about”, maybe he should have a look at how he sooks it up when he’s not given a sideways handball so he can bring up another meaningless stat.
