This is what we would call in Latin 'a non sequitur'.
What's Ron Barassi screaming at players 40 years ago got to do with anything now and what has it got to do with player's commitment and aggression on the field? There are no words I can use to describe the kind of mental disconnect present here. It's like thinking that drinking a bottle of Jim Beam will help you clean your garage up. The two actions just have no relationship.
If you wanted to make a point about on field aggression, why not have some footage of Whelan cleaning up James Hird, Neita shirt fronting Luke McCabe or, if you wanted to get really controversial, Balls Grinter breaking Terry Wallace's jaw? 
And by the way, I remember that you were complaining about the club 'losing their nerve' by sacking Mark Neeld 3 years ago when it was clear to most that we were going backwards at a staggering rate. 

You need to move on from your Neeld fixation, man......

You're like a bizarro version of Beetlejuice. Neeld's name gets said three times and you are here to start haunting me.

you've totally missed the point CBF.

 

This thread has nothing to do with a screaming coach,  & not to do with Roosy demeanor at all. 

 

Its all about what Roosy has struggled with to rebuild us.  to reinstate competativeness & hunger for the contest.

Now aggression at the football is a different matter. That comes from within.

 

And this is what this thread is all about..     'the why'  we cannot maintain the hunger & rage,  to stay a power.

 

Where that inner aggression at all contests,  onfield  & from our administrators,  keeps withering on the vine at this club...  Why.   Last time it took about 10 years & then started going sour.

Still up top but not going anywhere.   The culture can be going off even when the club is top 2.. 

The results of souring culture take time to show themselves.  But takes years to repair....  We as supporters have to learn to notice these things so we can stop this happening again. or make board changes if it happens in future times..

 

We are traveling in a constructive direction currently.
