Some interesting comments from Jason Dunstall on our perceived 'discipline issues' on Fox Footy tonight.
With Bernie's latest sin-binning, our suspension list this year is admittedly pretty damning. Dunstall reckoned this all reminded him of the young Hawks (post 2008) getting used to a new aggressive game style. He said 'it's maybe not such a bad thing' and these teething problems are common to 'good teams on the rise'.
It's a nice perspective I'm willing to subscribe to because whilst the suspensions are frustrating and costly, personally I love our new toughness and aggression!
Given Goodwin's comments last week on shaping culture and what that looks like, I think Dunstall's comments may ring true.
Being nice never won the war.
