I just thought it was worth noting a couple of things I've observed in the way the club culture has changed since the heady days of Mick Watson's regime.
At the ten pin bowling last week, I saw Ryan Shortland having a great time joking with his team mates, and he was focused on making the grade again in 2008.
Last night, I spoke with Michael Crockett, and he's still working hard to earn re-selection for the top side.
I find this encouraging because both players already know they aren't needed next year. I know that negotiating new contracts with potential future clubs plays a factor here, but seeing the way the 2009 unwanteds were interacting with the players who are here for the long term is refreshing to see in light of some of the stuff we've witnessed at the club in the past. They actually want to play for each other.
