What makes the Brisbane era in AFL considered so great?
Drive for show, putt for dough for golf clearance outlet. We beat everyone's prices. So just the greatness of this Brisbane era now, having won the third flag like that. Yeah, yeah. I th I don't know when I don't know what the theme was this year. I don't know if they had one. Um, but the believe was on the on the banner. Um and, you know, what comes first? You know, is evidence or or or your belief.
How do belief and evidence influence a team's culture?
How do you get your belief? Do you need evidence? But they've they've got everything now. They've got the evidence there. They got the um every now and then teams get this where the leaders can look at each other. And just nod and go, let's go. Let's it's time to elevate. And they've done it so many times now, Jared. So that will never leave them.
Why is resilient leadership credited for the club’s success?
Not not while those leaders are there and this young team now know what they've achieved and how they've done it. It just hasn't been a walk in the park, has it? So it's it's been done with resilience. It's been done in such a hu uh humble way as well, with the leadership of Chris and Danny. And it's reflected through through the playing group and Dunkley's probably he he epitomizes the whole club for me. Everyone needs a Dunkley. Everyone needs a Dunkley. Wha what w how and why? How does it work?
Who is Dunkley and why does every team need a player like him?
Um Well, it's it's an automatic it's an automatic what's best for the team. And it's a dying uh it's not a dying art. I th I think uh players, AFL players And about ten years ago I remember talking to a couple of senior players and it's it's like I want to win a Brownlow, I want all Australians. And I th I was thinking what happened to I just want to win. Yeah. I just want to win a premiership. I don't care how I play, I just want to be part of success.
What drives AFL players to prioritize winning over personal stats?
And I think he carries that I think all players do live in that space, but there's these other traps around it that's um that seem to be really important, the brand, the personal brand. Whereas he he lives to win and he'll do whatever it takes. And um what's really important is it get it gets acknowledged internally. And I think that's um Fagues did the uh at Hawthorne he did the the I don't know what it was called, the tough stuff. That's the video. He had the highlight video. Um I can't remember if he had songs to it or not. I don't think he did, but uh he go through three minutes of just tough stuff.
How did Chris’s performance this season highlight internal value?
And he coded that and he did the um Dennis used to do it, defensive pursuit skills. And you get that that was something that you'd really value. And if you're at the bottom of that and you had a really good day, you weren't gonna get rated very highly. And I I I heard Chris talk about um He's he's num he out of twenty eight games this year he's been number one at twenty four of 'em. Yeah. So Yeah, when you value it internally and you have a player that uh instinctively does it, then you've got a great combination for the rest of the team.
