You think if he was at Punt Rd he would be any better
NO
they have something all clubs strive for
Good on him could've cried like a biatch playing reserves but instead worked hard and he has a medal around his neck
Whoever said he was gifted that medal are kidding themselves
He played well week in week out in the reserves and deserved his spot
That's the difference between a club that has a high standard and hates mediocrity.
The leadership group letting him know they didn't trust him. Set a very high standard at Sydney.
Too many player gifted games at tigerland that arent up to standard.
A tough club culture can get the absolute best out of even the most ordinary of characters. That's why they have so many discarded players that perform week in week out because of their high standards. And it doesn't matter who you are the club gives you a club induction coarse that lays out the standards so there is no excuse.
Everyone that walks in knows what's at stake knows the principles on what the club is built and knows what is expected.
That's why Mitch Morton, picked up for his natural talent, had to wait for a whole year and a lucky break to make it into this well drilled organization.
Richmond MUST learn from this example too.
