Disagree with the media part.
Fagan is fantastic with media dealings and has brought this to the club. Make absolutely no mistake this is 100% Fagan. From day one of his hiring - we have had the whole club singing the same tune. There is a very very clear and concise way that we are going to come across to the media and the public.
Fagan identified us as a club which was soft and tried to please everyone. We were more about marketing and 'spin' than results on the football field.
We are now an 'Authentic football club'. This means that we are mostly focused on getting results on the football - not being a nice club. We have a plan on how to do deal with the media / fans and thats already in play. Walsh will be under no pressure for how the media responds to him from the club. We have replaced the nice coach who has the players over for dinner (Sando) with a gruff guy who doesn't publicly thank our previous captain for a job well done. We have replaced our intelligent choir boy captain with a guy who had a mullet for 2 years and can barely construct a proper sentence.
This is one of the biggest turnarounds of a sporting clubs culture that I have seen in a 6 month period in professional sport.
And for all the discussion about Walsh and his 'Man Conversation'. This once again comes from the top and is a Faganism.
