He was not happy just making it and said that to the TV reporter. That culture was then installed and Laird carried it on. Centrals would lose a game rarely under Laird but even if they won he wasn't happy and could see areas to improve and said so. He never installed complacency .
I reckon you can go one before Stewart & say Kerley changed the culture of the club.
I thought Cowboy Neale started the ball rolling on field, he picked them up from the scrap heap and started seeing them use Elizabeth Oval as a stomping ground.
Does anyone know what season “Beware the dogs are coming” became their song after a win?

I reckon it was 1987 - I have a feeling it was premiered by John Swan at the first round match that year against North, where Centrals won by 87 points.

Centrals now very close to naming its new coach, possibly today. The frontrunner isn't an ex Dog, he's from interstate. Stay tuned folks........................

Would love a coach from interstate with no preconcieved ideas etc. Would be a great move imo.

If it's who I think it is, he has a long history of coaching/assistant coaching, his resume' is very good.
