Hi Hell Bent,
I was there tonight and share your sentiments on the evening; it was highly positive and a confirmatory boost that we are well and truly on the right track to having a strong and capable team with a good culture to match.
I also thought Schwab's point about the Hall of Fame was particularly interesting; he highlighted and questioned why Melbournefc with all its long standing history only has TWO members in the Hall of Fame - when you think of the players who have played in five Grand Finals... How could this be?
As for Bailey, I find him to be focused on the job with a no nonsense approach, but not taking it too seriously and has a dry sense of humour. I am comfortable that he is doing the right thing and with a strategy in mind that is for the long term - and one that will give us the competitive edge, can't wait to see the results in years to come as the young players mature their game and play out this adaptable outfit in a game that is changing also - Mfc WILL be a force.
The interviews with the players was great, they have a good spirit while not being arrogant, and are learning and taking it all in. From the outside there does seem to be a good spirit and comraderie. And as one of the speakers during the night highlighted that a good culture is a necessity.
HB you are right, the G at night is breathtaking!
All up, Demon fans can be rightly excited, I know I am.
Go Dees!
