Yes, yes.

Whateley

So stability...

Whateley
Malcolm Speed - Warming to privatisation | The Godfather of Australian Sports Administration (13.05.26)

I heard Ken Hinckley say today that culture is about having great people turn up every day and do their best.

Whateley
Malcolm Speed - Warming to privatisation | The Godfather of Australian Sports Administration (13.05.26)

And that's a pretty good description.

Whateley
Malcolm Speed - Warming to privatisation | The Godfather of Australian Sports Administration (13.05.26)

The board doesn't necessarily set the culture.

Whateley
Malcolm Speed - Warming to privatisation | The Godfather of Australian Sports Administration (13.05.26)

The board sets the tone of the club.

Whateley
Malcolm Speed - Warming to privatisation | The Godfather of Australian Sports Administration (13.05.26)

And that's very hard to define.

Whateley
Malcolm Speed - Warming to privatisation | The Godfather of Australian Sports Administration (13.05.26)

So that's the sort of tone that you're trying to set.

Everyone hates Collingwood.

Whateley
Malcolm Speed - Warming to privatisation | The Godfather of Australian Sports Administration (13.05.26)

He was trying to set that tone there and he did it very well.

Whateley
Malcolm Speed - Warming to privatisation | The Godfather of Australian Sports Administration (13.05.26)

I think the coach, the chief executive and the coach set the culture of the playing group in the administration, that sort of, that part of it.

Whateley
Malcolm Speed - Warming to privatisation | The Godfather of Australian Sports Administration (13.05.26)

And it's very, very hard to define.

Whateley
Malcolm Speed - Warming to privatisation | The Godfather of Australian Sports Administration (13.05.26)

It's one of those things that...

Whateley
Malcolm Speed - Warming to privatisation | The Godfather of Australian Sports Administration (13.05.26)

When you see it, you recognise it, but it's very hard if it's not there to say what's missing.

Whateley
Malcolm Speed - Warming to privatisation | The Godfather of Australian Sports Administration (13.05.26)

So lots of people contribute to that.
