The corporate world in which most of us live, working for the man, requires that the majority of the time we have to park and control out real persona and 'play the game'. The AFL and Fremantle to a certain degree dictates the same requirements. No room for X-factor anymore, no Barry Halls or Jeff Farmers to be tolerated. You have to play along as the reformed roll model to have a place.
It's one of the reasons why I come to see the freaks who play the game with their natural born spirit.
It's easy to manage robots, good management is a skill and harnesses and embrasses the extroverts that make good teams the best.
We're losing these stars.
