Hrm. He also has Riewoldt, Hayes, Goddard, dal Santo, Montagna, Fisher, Milne, Gilbert, Gram and Baker - a large core of quality and experienced players who have played footy for over 5 years. Even so, in his first year the Saints didn't play finals in his first year in charge because his quality and experienced players weren't able to quickly adapt to his style of play. But don't let that get in your way.
Bailey has Davey and Green. He sets high standards for our players, they just seem largely incapable of living up to them. His core, experienced players include Miller, Dunn, Bartram, Bell and Johnson. The other most experienced players are under 23 (Bate and Jones), just hitting his straps (Sylvia), in the twilight of their careers (Bruce and Mcdonald) and a ruckman who may have just found that he has straps (Jamar).
And how in the world would you know if the players respect him?
