If you look at the players we've offloaded since JLo came to the club they've mostly had problems such as Dixon, lazy, Jesse Hogan, where does one start, Cam McCarthy, health and other problems, Jason Carter, discipline, we seem to building a core group of players who are4 united and happy to do what it takes to achieve success. They are moulded and look up to the way in which Dave Mundy, Nat Fyfe, Aaron Sandilands, Sonny Walters, Roger Hayden and Tendai Mzungu live their lives both on and off the football field and in their lives away from the club. We've also bought in administrative guys like Simon Garlick, who built a similar environment at the Bulldogs leading up to their premiership and Bob Murphy. Peter Bell has played a major part in this in also offloading the corporates Rosich, Harris and Lyon.
The guys mentioned previously who left voluntarily all had their reasons, not necessarily to do with any dodgy culture at the club and it's wrong to criticise anything about the way our recruiting team is going about their job when you listen to Serong, Brayshaw and Darcy speak so enthusiastically about our chase for a flag.
