Thought of the Day: Choking in Western Sydney about to increase

The recent appointment of ex-Test cricketer Simon Katich as a mentor for AFL team Greater Western Sydney has raised eyebrows, not least because it is a cross-code appointment. 

While GWS does have some history in this field, signing Israel Folau for about 5 minutes as a player before he went back to playing Rugby, these appointments don't always end well (re: Supercoach Ric Charlesworth at Fremantle).

There is no doubt that Katich is a determined competitor who has been able to play at the pinnacle of his chosen sport, but his history of man-management (particularly of younger team mates) must be causing some concern?

Or perhaps he is just taking leadership advice that was developed a long, long time ago....
